   get it a good cold air feed. i fed the pipe off mine underneath the front bumper. with mine on it seems to pick up alittle quicker and it sounds quite nice to. dont forget you will need an oil brether as well.

   We love it :d Jon here has one on his Polo and its transformed the car sound wise. Sounds like an angry bear is trapped under the bonent when you nail the throttle...which is nice...

   can you not pop to your nearest halfrauds and buy one? i wouldnt recommend you leave the pipe hanging off.

   i wouldnt fit it unless you have an oil breather mate. you will need a 66mm pipe i think to fit it to the inlet.
   
   this is what mine looks like at the minute but i was thinking about having the air feed for it coming from a fog light but havn't figured out how to do it yet

    I would just wait until tomorow mate, the wait will make it better lol. yeh just get the breather and aslong as you have the hoses/pipe work, some jubilee clips etc it should go straight on mate
