I've tried Drilled Airbox, K&N, BFO and Viper on my GSi and I would definately recommend the Viper( Bit overpriced though)
Then, as above decat, chip, inlet etc.

i wouldn't drill the airbox it may let more air into the filter but it will be warm air from the engine bay which will cause power loss.the viper routes the intake air from outside the engine bay cold air = more power.
if you have a k+n type induction kit build an airtight box around it with a cold air feed pipe from the from grille/bumper area.
better still move the filter out of the engine bay, don't know if it's possible with a corsa but i've done it on a previous car (moved filter into the innner wing)

u can drill the air box and fit a new cold air feed to it so u only get cold air to it, easy to do

what are u talking about u tit
u dont drill the side of the engine, u srill the side on the wing, do it dont let hot air in, thats the whole point, and its been proven that a dilled air box gives more power than a k&n induction kit, because THEY let in hot air

what is better,
an induction kit with a heat shield on the engine side of the kit, or a drill air-box?
