how much did that cost you ?

im wanting a new induction kit for my 1.4 (i know its only a 1.4 but the standard induction is badly designed). would the BMC work with my engine or would i need something smaller ?

The intake size on your throttle body will be 50mm on the 1.4. And as its on the top of the engine you will need a 90 degree bend to start with an quite a long piece of pipe to take it over by the battery

yes i was either going to get aluminuim tubing made up for me or i was going to use the silicon hoses you guys use.. not sure which one will be cheaper.

with it being mounted at the top of the engine i was going to make a heat sheild also to stop some of the radiated heat surrounding the pipe to reduce heat problems. and i will take the air feed from the wheel arch where you cupras intake is as this seems to be a nice good pressure spot on the car.

on other side from my pic it looks like its a 45 degree 2.5" bit of drain pipe which is pushed in and i also put black silicaset on it to make a nice seal and of coarse to make it look better

Id use a 51-63mm 90 degree silicone reducer elbow, then 63mm alloy tube to take it to the battery side then a silicone joiner to join onto the filter but would depend on the filter as to what size to get
