Thanks for your advice, but I just can't.
The space for the stock air box has been occupied by water pump for years, and nowhere else to mount it. (if you get a chance to glance round the engine bay of a Punto, you'll know what I mean)
...
Anyway, about the air filter "myth", I've read some. I'd say they are very "interesting". Opposite opinions are everywhere, just like everything else.
In my own car & my own experiences, the cone type K&N works the best. (with proper heat shield)
About the so-called "stock type" plate filter from K&N, I think it's indeed useless. The area is just too small. In this case, stock filter does sometimes perform better. I know it because I had tried it. But cone type is another story.
This somewhat injured turbo on my car is the 3rd one I have. And I had also used K&N with the first 2. Their compressor blades were not like this.
So, it's quite "interesting", eh?:wink:
(Actually, as I'm getting older & older, I found it's harder & harder to distinguish truths & myths :? )
