i think the problem is when you put a cone filter on, shouldnt be a problem with just drilling the box

Not gonna make a 12volt sound beafy, just make sure you don't drill the lid on the airbox - i've seen it done

lol
ive spoken to a few people with 1.0s who have drilled air boxes (standard filter and k&n panel filter) and they have said it doesnt effect the car one bit...
he also sent me a couple of vids with it done and it sounds pretty nice tbh, doesnt sound like a 12v at all..
i wont be going over the top with the holes though, just want some induction noise...
only thing that messes up the 1.0s air flow is by fitting a big cone filter..

Did it on my 1.6
sounds completly different now. think it does pick up a little better too although I maybe imagining it
Dont have to drill it just knock out the restrictive pipe in the middle and unclip the bottom pannel and the side closest the wing. Can put it back together then if you dont like it
Drives supercharged Tec with torque
