   I have noticed that my BMC is alot bigger than the usual, i bought it off someone who had a track westie and didnt get the best picture of it before buying. Could this be a bad thing if the filter is too big i.e trying to put too much air in?
   
   Help appreciated!

   Im not too sure, i will have to have a look but i no that it is bigger because iv compered it to a friends and there is a big difference! Do you think this will effect the performance in anyway?

   The engine takes in as much air as it needs, having a bigger filter wont force any more or any less in.

   it becomes more efficient due to a better surface area so your engine will have better air flow!
   therefore it will give a beter throttle response but that about it
   maybe like 0.5 bhp aswell but jack all
   hope that helps
   do i get rep
