    Default airbox mod

    Just done the airbox today on my lunch break.
    Can really feel a difference on pickup. Anybody else felt a big difference after doing this?

    Just did it on my 1.9CDTI 150 Auto and it is amazing the difference.

    The best difference on mine was not so much power or acceleration but how smooth it went through the gears from 1st to 6th.

    I did the Mod and my car started reacting eratically and i strated gettin a rough start up with smoke coming out the rear, so i put it back together, i am gonna try again though soon when i buy a K&N Panel Filter and then take Battery off for 30mins see if that helps

    really does make a difference... also, stick the K&N filter in, that makes an even bigger difference!
