Clio Induction kit advice

[Alex M]

Yep Ive got a piperX ind. kit and it is well loud although i have reservation about power gain (it might be a loss), it does whistle and when you switch the engine off, it continues to make a whine for a second or two.

Ben, what did you go for after taking you r one off, i.e. what seems to be producing the goods, and did you ever have cold air ducting to it

If you think you are loosing power i have to ask you one question. Do you have a cold air feed pipe? The clio makes a lot of heat in the engine bay and it could be zapping your power.

mine had 2 cold air feeds and still lost power

b****cks, was putting up with the lost power cause was going to at some point make up a cold air feed, with possibly a sealed air box surrounding the PiperX filter. Was going to do it in transparent plastic sheet, but you reckon it will still lose power.

As in, do you think I should persevere with trying to get cold air fed to it, or give up and folow another solution

will putting cold air feed in give it a louder noise?
I noticed that the part that the indcution kit fits on restricts the air as well. Is it possible to take all this plastic off?

just put ya airbox back on, youll notice a lot of difference

mines louder now than it was when i first put it on (4 months ago) i did reset the ecu though, but i doubt this did anything
