Induction kit for 1.6 ?

[Barakka]

I need an induction kit for my 1.6 as the standard air filter is strangling my engine now the PowerFlow exhaust is working correctly...

The question is what choice is there for the 1.6, K&N do a 57i kit, but i've read on here about them being none-too-clever (put politely), Ram air list one but it is imaginary... I believe Pipercross do a viper but i'm not after spending £250 !

So what are the options..? if you have one, what do you think of it? Are the green ones any good ?
(It's a MkII engine)

TIA

Don't touch green or K&N, cotton filters are nasty.

You want a good foam filter with a nice smooth bellmouth intake. Either PiperX PK700 or ITG. Then you need some pipework to connect it all together.

I take it I would be looking at the Universal fit ones from PiperX and ITG, what size would I need ?

And the piping would be to replace the solid plastic piping to the current filter box ?

Yup. The OD of the throttle body is just over 70mm. I'm using 76mm which fits fine.
