            Just put some down the cold side and front.
            That way no body needs fall out then
            For what this cost me so far I could have bought an S2

                    If you have a decent size intercooler heat soak wouldn't be a problem, which it won't be anyway. Well not that you'd notice to be honest. Plus it will sound a lot better. If heat soak was a problem people with 400bhp+ wouldn't use the big mushroom/cone filters.............

                      Hmm. I guess the engineers at Audi wasted their time designing all the heat shielding and air ducting to stop warm air from the engine bay getting sucked into the airbox. If only they'd known it didn't make a difference maybe they could have diverted the time into making the coupe door seals work better

                        That could be said about all the things on the S2, I bet they spent millions on development on the suspension but hey we all change the shock and spring cause it's better. I wonder why Audi spent all the time on that? The brakes are brilliant too..............lol

                            if the filter is positioned in a good spot soak is less than the box as my setup proved to me.

                            putting a filter next to the turbo obviously isn't as good as the shielded box.

                            if you have nothing more than rs2 spec then the airbox is your friend.
