Hey guys, went to fit my pipercross filter today, took the old airbox out as standard, but found two think that caught my attention.

There was this plug thing that was connected to the box. Took it off and I have no idea what it does, or where to put it on my new cone filter? Any ideas chaps?



And this feed came from the old box too, any ideas what it is for? I already have the input connected and this just looks like another one... Where would I put this?



Cheers chaps! Answers and advice is great appreciated!

the second one is the warm air feed from the manifold and heat shild. its to circlate warm air. just take it off if you have fitted a cone filter.

Well it was in the side of the airbox...I had no idea what it was either. I pulled it out and saw it was connected to some red wire, and figured better not yank it out till i know better. Cheers for that though S@M.

Just secure that thing on the red wire somewhere out the way, the name of it avoids my memory right now but you don't need it with a cone filter

the thirst thing is mounts onto a flap inside your airbox, assuming this is an early model. the flap opens when the throttle is open, jst a cable. just disconnect and tuck it away

It really isn't, 8v's don't have an afm.. It's as previously stated a vacuum hose that controls hot/cold air entering the airbox.. Just blank it off with a screw and tuck it away

As above, opens on idle iirc, uses the vaccum from the throttle body.

Blank the pipe and chuck it away.
