Hi there.
I've had mine fitted but at the same time they wanted to use my car as a Tester car so I didnt fit it and its been enclosed in carbon fibre box. Contrary to popular belief there was quite alot of heat soak with mine however with the new set-up there's alot more power throughout the range and its out performing a BMC that was tried on the car.
Will post pics ASAP

Mine was held with a fabricated bracket I think

If you could post up some pictures that would be greatly appreciated :)

I had a look for a BMC CDA kit for the MK4 Cupra but couldn't seem to find one :(

Its a shame ITG don't make a maxogen kit for this car yet.....

The BMC are proven to be restrictive @ over 200bhp

I fabricated a bracket and used the original airbox mounting point :)

Do you have any logs to see how good the airflow is mate?

Thats all I could get today.
The Pipe terminates just before that carbon fibre there seems to be a fabricated steel connector and then the filters attached to that. I'd imagine someone would knock that up for you for under £20

Cheer for the photos, that looks to be a very tidy job :)

Its a shame I don't want to relocate the battery :(

:) Cool... But it will ruin the colour scheme!

:lol:

Not over fussed about the colour scheme TBH mate.

Only red things in the engine bay are the filter and strut brace. Might paint the strut brace green :D
