I've got a P reg, 1.2 8v Corsa...

Now, i ihave a K&N filter;

a) Do you advise fitting it? (heard something about flat spots etc..)

&

b) Connected to my airbox is a pipe from the manifold heatsheild to the airbox, also some sort of sensor. If i disconnect these will it effect the car?

Pipe wont affect it.

But its better just to get a panel filter and drill the underside of the the box.

Flatspot just means its sucks in hot air from the engine and bogs down for a second.

I've drilled my airbox already, and have a panel filter in there, but i thought the K&N might make it sounds abit better than it does..
If not, i just won't fit it..

The drilled air box and panel filter will be louder,well it was on my old 1.2.

I did have a K&N 57i on my old 1.2 and i took it off got fed up off it bogging down.

flat spot is caused by lack fuel not caused by heat soak

I have a pipercross on mine and yes it does make a nice roar but it can suffer from flat spots

I only notice it sometimes (for example if i've been stuck in traffic for a while) apart from that it's all gravy

edit: 20valver is right imo

but it can suffer from flat spots

I only notice it sometimes (for example if i've been stuck in traffic for a while) that is not a flat spot what that is power loss caused by heat soak

well after i had changed from the k&n back to the airbox, it stopped the flat spots.

Heatsoak is simply lost power due to hotter (and less dense) air entering the engine/combustion chamber.

think you should do a group buy on your modded airboxes 20valver.

then we can all drive with more power and no heatsoak/flat spot

No because your manifold changes when the clocks go back.When u set the time on the dash,it picks up on this and the manifold lets off cold air instead of hot.
