Testicles is it! The smallest piece of piping I used on my Sei was 45mm, 15 is tiny!
Sorry my bad! He said throttle body! I thought he meant breather pipe!
On topic - it's a quick enough job to take off the airbox so do that and whip out your tape measure
Been looking at posts for Induction kets. The latest being Mk2 specific and there are a lot of older posts.
Could anyone advise as to what kit is best for my 1.2 ELX convertible?
All feedback greatly appriciated.

hi 70/75 mm
Make them up with some universal angled samco hoses and some aluminium tubing. Thats what I did on my fiesta.

Looks cute but its breathing warm air from the radiator.
Heat shield behind the rad is defelcting the heat and theres a cold air feed forcing air towards the cone
air feeds dont really do much. always best to take the filter to the cold air, not the cold air to the filter for best effects.Heat shield behind the rad is defelcting the heat and theres a cold air feed forcing air towards the cone
they do at high speeds
Done this before, but in my experience showing too much filter to the cold air they get dirty very quickly and end up blocking it, unless your ok with cleaning it every few months.
thats why behind the front bumper is a good spot. not a huge amount of dirt as there is still a degree of air flow restriction but far enough away from the main heat providers to stop it sucking in hot air. mine is fitted just infront of the battery but i have "reused" the original inlet and twisted it around so its not sat on top of the engine or manifold. not fantastic, but not a bad spot really. any induction aint gunna be great if ur stuck in traffic so it all depends on how and where u drive to how affective it will be.
