Inner Wing Resonator Delete

As above what's involved in removing the inner wing resonator box, any parts needed or is it just a case of juggling about what's already there.

You can just remove it mate, no modification needed... I did this and fitted a dedicated Cold Air Feed from a Fog Cover in my front bumper.

Cheers mate what diameter and lenght of hose do you need to do that

Depends on the size of the hole in your bumper I guess, I luckily had a garage full of crap... and so an induction pipe from a 205gti is actually onto my fog cover, then used a piece of cold air piping that I had lying from a K&N induction kit I fitted to a Mondeo 7 years ago and fed it into my airbox.

Haha, DIY Motorsport all the way.

Yeh, its easy enough.

Ive got of one the Moto GP Delete Elbow installed which (to me) turns the OEM air feed into a more "direct" feed and still looks OEM from engine bay (that appealed to me).

Took me about half an hour to do,

Jack drivers wheel up and remove.

Remove any undertray body trim "push clips" from underside (think I done three in total),

Peel back / out inner wheel arch lining,

You should be able to see the large OEM resonator, which on my car (Hawkeye) was secured by one bolt (M10) on the inner wing between where the air intake enters and exits the inner wing,

After undoing the bolt, it does take a lot of "jiggling" to get out, but hey, nothings easy!

Well not much is easy, apart from the new elbow going in and fixed in place using the OEM bolt.

Result, not much difference at low speeds, however pick up in each gear is definetly more responsive in mid to high (erm ) speed (overtaking! )!

However! I just removed mine the other day, it does use more fuel (which being a company car) I have to "kind of" justify!

Probably no more fuel than anyone fitting another third party direct feed induction kit though.

There are a few notes on Scoobypedia (see link below), however this is not a complete how-to yet. I did it for my slightly mod'ed MY00 Classic a while back. No noticeable performance gain and a whole lot of extra turbo sounds from the engine bay. I didn't do it again for my newage.
