Defo oe mate I was looking into diff setups but the oe box and cold airfeed are a good design

[Nottswoody]

Will the standard box fit onto my samcos??

[Andyturbo!]

Is it a samco telephone hoses? Like the original

[Nottswoody]

Yer I thinkso it came with them on I haven't cut them in anyway I just bought the standard filter case and haven't had time to check

[Andyturbo!]

Utter dog sh*t ;) they sit right next to the turbo!

O.e is a good setup to be honest. Ive got the big filter on mine for the noise really.

[Nottswoody]

Just fitted it back on and were did all the noises go?? No woosh no waste gate nothing.. Don't know if I like it.. Changed the exchaust at the same time from 4" to 2" I can hear all the rattles of the old lady now... Another job todo.. Think I need a dump valve now :-)

Yeah you do loose all the noise when fitting an oe airbox which is shame as it does allow you to hear all the other rattles and bangs which you never knew you had! :D

For me is all depends on how you want to keep the look of your engine bay, if you want an original look then standard air box is good (as everyone says does work well) but if your willing to move stuff about and fit air filter up front of the car then i go aftermarket filter all the time

[SCHWARTZ]

Please don't put a dump valve on it.

Does the o.e air box not sit next to the turbo?;)

[Nottswoody]

Yep but fed air from the front and sealed from the heat.. I see both points if you want noise go after market if you want clean air and silence go oe. I went o.e. still pulls the same..

Does the o.e air box not sit next to the turbo?;)

Yup, and shielded from that nasty hot air in a nice big sealed metal container which is fed by nice cool air from the front of the car! :D

I always felt the standard set up made the car pick up better from low revs :agree: No noise though :wasntme:

[Nottswoody]

Just came to work in the 5 and with no one around on the a610 gave it some size 9s and it's strange no noise but still plenty of boot!! Can't wait for my AFR kit of the scoff and then the t28 comes on :-) that will be a happy day.. Back to the noise I'm 35 and it keeps the mrs happy it being all quiet by day.. Can always change it for track days..
