Technical What is this!? Air Intake Piping
Pipe between number 3 and 7 - there's a box on the underside of the piping - what is inside it?!
Pipe between 3 and 7 is the main pipe to throttle body..the pipe 4 is the one that sucks air in from under the bonnet to filter box..if you look hard on the car you will see a little slit where it sucks air in.. the box on the underside of the pipe you refer to is there as a baffle/resonator and the one on the pipe 4 does the same..
Main airbox has a replacable filter when it gets dirty.. thats your guided tour of your cars filtration system..
Now dump it and get a gsr one..lol

probably nothing.
probably a resenator(sp) box they supposed to save air till you need it

You're surely not considering dumping air intake filtration
I replaced mine with a BMC panel filter which improved the airflow at the top end of the rev range, because i don't think the old one had ever been changed, all flies and crap fell on my face when undoing it :yuck:

A turbo would solve that problem nicely
My investigation ended up in a smooth silicone induction kit improving peak power by 10bhp.
Adding a turbo to the 1.8 would mean a more resilient gearbox, toughing up all the rods and basically beefing up every aspect of the engine. Turbo-ing a mass produced NA engine would involve a lot of work - which i don't have the time or money for! Old-School, with your induction kit is your design similar to the OEM design (in that it takes in air, goes down to the panel filter and then back up to the throttle body) or did your results take you to the idea of almost a straight filter to throttle body solution (with a litlle bit of piping!?)?
Reverse to the flow it comes out of the throttlrbody doing about a 90 degree turn going forword and doing about a seventy degree turn going downwards ending up below the battery with the filter element.

It was not a serious suggestion.
It'll shut me up... mainly because I'll be drooling
I think I can't get out of this one.
What do you mean by that? I saw yesterday the version Novitech did and the engine was holding together with the gearbox for quite a while and is still tunning.
Want one?
am coming over later in the week if i have time, and swaping you a broom for 1
