Hey, i was wondering what people used on there x16 / c16 with the powerbox manifold to link there air filter to the throttle body, what diameter pipe do they use as well?
I'm looking at this at the moment: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310221694624&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
Any good? Pictures would be good too!

ahh, well mine is a C16 so it does have one  well a "Air Mass Meter"... i'm presuming they are the same? And the diameter is different on it than the throttle body...so i may have to make some adjustments! Any ideas?

hmmm. You could maybe use a silicone joiner to go between the AFM and the throttle body? Like this -

Then try and find a fairly short 45 degree angle induction pipe as I don't think you'd have enough room with the one I've got

I've been looking at things like this but the AFM outer diameter is 70mm and the throttle body is 60, i was thinking of buying a 45 degree and cut it down with a link on and then the filter! Its like an extra £10 for a little link of silicon haha, silly prices!
