Alright so I've been searching forums left right and centre for a good clear hand of help but I found it to be near impossible. I have a 2000 Punto with the 1.2 8V. The airbox is broken and since I already wanted one anyways I really want to fit an induction filter to it. MOT testing isn't a problem I work at a garage (and no I don't mean it in a dodgy way) and our MOT tester has already talked to me so that we can at least to a mock test on it to see if it all goes well.

All I need however is where I can find a kit that will fit the engine and preferably fit it behind the battery so that's it's as far away from the exhaust manifold as possible. A link a name, anything of the sort would be fantastic!

Thank you in advance everyone.

Hi,
Obviously it is open to interpretation but the MOT Manual section 8.2.1.1 says

"Emission control equipment fitted by the manufacturer: missing, obviously modified or obviously defective Category Major"
If a engine breater pipe is connected to the airbox then it is part of emissions control equipment and any obvious modfication should be a fail even if the car passes the exhaust emisions test. The MOT emissions measurements do not cover all type approval requirements e.g. NOx, hence the no modification inspection.
