Induction kit sucks in hot air since it sits too close to the engine, do a search/read the sticky at the top of the forum!!

Fit a cold air feed. Vent pipe 1m long, from lower grill infront of radiator to underside of the cone with cable tie

Do as above, but plumb the pipe into your airbox. It's all good!

IMO drilled airbox with decent panel filter and cold air feed is BY FAR your best bet!! I had a ram air closed induction kit and changed it for drilled box and it definatly pulls through revs smoother and all the flat spots have gone!! Sounds quite raw as well
