whats max bhp an aby airbox can take?

You can modify the stock airbox like me or Dest have done, the addition of a decent cold air feed helps too. I will be looking to try and get a cone to work well later in the year, got a few simple heat shield ideas. BMC should do well but is the same price as an RS2 item so no contest there IMO.

rather than a cold air 'feed pipe'

how about using stainless steel or alloy tubing and silicone joins with the cone filter on the very end of the pipe work itself? , located somewhere low down where the cone is directly in the path of the cold air?

worked a treat on a few zs180's i know, they alloy piped the entire inlet system with the cone on the end, and gave a dyno proved 10bhp gain. and the metal pipes showed a measured drop in intake temps.

obviously it wasn't a turbo car, not even an audi. but the method worked a treat.

Nice idea but there's just not the space. See my separate thread on cold air feed / heat shield.

I have no issues with cone filter. it is where the aircon pump would be on aircon. end is behind intercooler. top is about bottom of headlight.

its cold down there.

only place i could fit airbox would be in boot or on back seat.

Do you have a reverse inlet?

Nice and easy to do, and cheap too!

It is literaly just a 4" port used on a subwoofer to replace the standard smaller one. I got mine on ebay for about £4 delivered

dest do you have noticable gains? you are running homefry yes?

[dest]

Id say it makes a small difference, but for the cost and effort involved its worth doing anyway!
Yes, Im homefried.
You can hear a slight dump of air on gear change with it too
