OK then, but an open cone filter does sound nice (on a petrol turbo anyway) with the induction from the turbo and the DV snuffing on lift-off....
I will invest in a pd160 when it's been dyno proven before and after as well as being compared with an open cone
For your current level of tuning its probably fine on the std pipe anyhow.
Just to clear things up,
It’s quite logical; the air under the bonnet is always going to be warmer than the outside temp, hence a cone filter is sucking that hot air in and as techie said its less dense to start with so cannot draw as much air in as if it were cooler meaning the volume of air is larger.
A forced air effect on the derv has proven to work, the pd160 intake with panel filter (green or pipercross, not much difference) will give you a higher mass air flow hence increase power. This has been proven using vag com logs with standard set up, then with flap cut out and panel filter put in and all gaps sealed. The mass air flow increased dramatically, a cone filter has also been logged and is worse than the standard set up! All it does is make it sound louder and almost gives a false sense of increased power.
Remember just by giving derv's cold air (and a lot of it) it will make noticeable gains.
Hope this helps

At the front where you connect the air pipe from the flap to the air box it still has gaps (not huge, but you can see them) where air is leaked so by simply sealing that area up your mass air flow is larger due to it being sealed off completely!
I used duct tape.
If your going to use this then make sure it is the heavy duty one you use.
Is the green filter/PD160 intake solution applicable to all SEAT diesels or is there a separate intake for each car? In other words, could i do the same set-up with the same components on a Leon?
well the parts are from the mk4 ibiza not leon, think the set up would be different to be honest, doubt it would fit leon.
Ok, thanks for explaining, i still can't see that engine temps wud be that bad, especially when moving as there is a constant flow of air through the engine. Any wAy i have just reserved a pipercross foam filter from halfords for £60 so will collect and fit tomorrow
thats quite expensive, you get them for £40 max on ebay. next time you drive your car once you stop pop the bonnet and touch your engine, it will be hot, even if constant air passes through it the air heats up because engine temp is so high...
Explain....
I work for virgin mobile sales, I take home a monthly bonus in bonus bond vouchers, I tooke home £650 last month £800 a few months ago lol at least £300 a month on top of my wage
Any other places apart from Halfrauds? Got to be better ones than that!
