Please dont take this the wrong way guys but dont you think it all looks a bit of a mess under the bonnet?? For the sake of a supposed couple of BHP increase which Im sure you can hardly notice?? I know that Fiat had to produce an intake that would suit all climates in all countries hot and cold and I would agree that all that plastic ducting of Fiats looks a mess but dont you think that a K&N filter in place of the cheap paper filter in the original fiat set-up would be just as effective as the green filter??
Dont get me wrong, I am all for improvements that can be justified. I am just being a little devil's advocate
It doesn't apply to the induction for the pre 1999 version of the Barchetta because the induction is not finished yet, but on the post 1999 models over 10bhp peak power improvement has been repeatedly reported by people having fitted the GSR induction.
The location on the Green filter on the picture is way to high up in the engine bay. Try to bring it much further down.
