Air induction ideas for dci's?

[Barnett]

Recently got a dci and was thinking about doing something with the air intake (if it's even remotely worth doing), I've seen some people make a cold air feed coming in through the foglight holes and was thinking about doing something similar or just relocating the cold air feed.

Anyone have any suggestions? I tried a quick search but couldn't find anything specific to diesels.

Doesn't the DCI have a turbo? If it has, no point; the intercooler will do most of the cooling down after the turbo has boiled the air.

I just run the standard airbox, I've asked a ren specialist and they said it would make no difference what so ever.

If its sound your after, go ahead.

As Kazumz has said, no performance advantage (likewise with most induction setups on clios), but if you're after the noise, crack on because induction noise FTW.

For performance just get an oiled panel filter, your lucky to get any BHP gains but throttle response should be a tad better if the old filter was as disgusting as mine was after 10k miles on a new car.

Thanks for all the replies. I wasn't expecting much in the way of performance gains to be fair, wouldn't mind it sounding a bit less tractory though. Anyone have any recommendations for fairly cheap?

Hahaha amazing, maybe I'll just turn the CD player up a bit

If you whack in a Clio Pipercross Panel Filter in to your Standard Airbox you'll definitely notice the increase in sound. But if you are after even more then just get an induction kit.

Not sure if the car will sound even more diesel-y if you do this though? No experience with Diesels. I get goose honk from my panel filter but its only at a certain point on the throttle.
