is the k&n bolted onto the throttle as std right onto it? if so why not try what winston has done and move it to under the n/s arch behind the fog light

from what ive found out u can buy what they call a sock! basicly a cover which all air to flow freely in but stops water getting in, its what the lads with k&n's on the focus RS run, as there filter is in the bottom n/s as std!

kool mate cheers for the advice, yeah its just a crappy bolt on, but the BMC CDA has taken my fancy so i want that ASAP

if i move it to the arch will i need to take the wheel lining off or does it work with the arches on

u can have the arch lining in, but id suggest to remove fog light or that blanking plate netx to it to try get a decent feed of air in there

Will check a price on tubing, if people are interested, off the top of my head around £20-£30 for a 1 mtr length

Mine is half in the wheel well, and when you go through puddles the car looses a bit of power for a few secs.

Any idea where you can get these socks Richy?
