I managed to turn up to work late... after visiting the post office... then managed to abandon my post for 10 minutes while i assembled the latest addition.
Works a treat, i could swear its slightly louder... don't know about performance... but thanks shaneth for all your efforts.
My vote is onwards to panel filter!
I agree about the panel filter, but which brand. BMC are having a dispute with there Oz distributors. I have emailed Green Filters (polo guys in UK use them) but no response. I have been told that K&N arent as bad as some make out just dont put alot of oil on the filter. What other options are there.
I've ordered Pipercross (PP1599) from Revolution Racegear - around $78 or so.
I'll let you know the results.

I dont know a lot about them, but they do seem to have a good reputation.
When it arrives I'm planning on doing some testing with a vacuum gauge on the intake system so I'll post the results.
well the saga is finally over. If anyone has any questions pm me please.
Thank you everyone for your support and patience as i worked this all out.
Ok, my right hand was bleeding profusely from the side of my little finger from a sharp corner on the battery cover, however I finally got the little SOB fitted in!!! Yep, that's right, I have big hands, and it sure was a tight fit. :D In the end my wife volunteered to fit the screw back in, god bless her - finishing the job perfectly.
To get the new intake to to slide in, found that it helped to lift the whole turbo unit a bit i.e. lift it up - it sways a fair bit.
The old thing looks severely restrictive.
Only went for a short spin, bit hard to tell of any difference yet however my pug is responding beautifully to everything now that I've just done my 30k service and also I have my APR programme fitted.
I don't suppose anyone needs to sell theirs??? Missed the cut off :mad:
