This kit replaces it with a full carbon fibre enclosure that keeps hot engine bay air out while feeding the turbocharger through a smooth, oversized inlet path. The result is cooler, denser intake air, less restriction under boost, and a far more audible turbo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe enclosure matters as much as the filter. An open cone filter sitting in the engine bay draws heat-soaked air and loses much of what it gains; a sealed carbon box keeps the filter fed from the cold-air duct instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufactured from genuine carbon fibre with a gloss twill finish, and supplied complete with the airbox, inlet tube, filter and all fitting hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFully Enclosed Carbon Fibre Airbox\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeals the filter away from engine bay heat and feeds it from the factory cold-air duct, so the intake temperature drop is real rather than theoretical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOversized Carbon Inlet Tube\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA smooth, larger-bore path from the airbox to the turbocharger, replacing the corrugated factory tube and the restriction that comes with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHigh-Flow Cone Filter\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA large, washable and reusable filter element, sized to keep flow up over the life of the kit rather than needing replacement each service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGenuine Carbon Fibre Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGloss twill carbon throughout, which is lighter than the factory plastic airbox and insulates against radiated heat far better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAudible Turbo Induction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA noticeably sharper induction note, with more audible spool and diverter valve action under acceleration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDirect Bolt-On Fitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUses the factory mounting points and the original cold-air duct.
