    Air flow to ITB's

    ITB's fitted (finally) :D
    Filter sits very close to the bonnet (actually touches).
    I recon the air flow would be quite restricted using the std. bonnet.

    Does anyone have experiences regarding air flow to ITB's?
    Pros/cons regarding making a cut out in the bonnet? (not worried about water/dirt etc.)
    Before/after rolling road measurements?

    Ideally i would like to find a carbon bonnet and make nice cut out.
    But i can't find one.... :(

    Nevermind a carbon bonnet, Id even be happy with a fibreglass one

    What size trumpets and which air filter are you using michael?

    andy did a back to back RR test on his f4r'd itb's mk1....


    Right we had the car RRed with bonnet off and it made 238.9bhp and then with it on and it made 218.5 bhp

    proof is in the pudding

    so in reality mine is prob making about standard power with the bonnet on! lmao

    time to cut a big hole in it methinks!
