I got the 1.6,i got a replacement fillter and run a ram pipe direct in to the air box from the front end,dont get any induction noise tho,but you get more cold air in!

100mm filter, 100mm **** pipe 90deg bend, 100mm **** pipe flexi

all air sealed etc, roared really well & made a massive (for a 1.4) performance difference.

on my vario's airbox I just took a 35mm hole saw to everything on the 'outside' dirty edge

sounded good.... but gave no increase

I had a green induction kit (P111) and a pipe feeding to it from down below!! Although I think it would be better fixing the induction kit somewhere away from the top of the engine...and having a pipe running to the top like all of the above :)

Just don't fit an induction kit to your 1.4 unless its shielded from the heat of the engine and can get plenty of cold air to it.

Otherwise, performance filter and fit a hose to extend from where it takes cold in from now to somewhere that it can get it :)

I wouldn't say it improved performance too much but mine looks like this.....

since you took the old neck off the origional air intake, and put the induction kit on , did you keep the normal filter on still, inside?

its a good idea! might try it if i get one later on....
