   putting a cold arm on it would be an exerlent idea other wise itll just suck hot air from around the engine, try fitting some ducting to it as well from the front of the car thatll boost the cold air feed over it.
   
   personally i think you should look in to the inclosed green everyone seems to fit to there saxo's on here it comes highly recomended

   The enclosed one from Kam Racing would have cost £86.50 with green filter.
   
   What filter have you got for it to have cost £90?
