Didn't really make any difference to be honest!
Probably got more heat from the exhaust heat shield/radiator!

if anything, but a proper one on like a viper, which is heat proof and connects into the ducting (these work ok with vaux) but IMO i wouldnt bother
viper will strangle the car

It's going to be more of a test than anything. Not as if it is permanant. If I don't like it I put the box back. Simple as.

No, don't say PVD because they don't supply K&N filters.
PVD supply Pipercross induction kits - PK154 for your vehicle - £87.99, in stock and will be with you for tomorrow if you order before 1pm.
Alternatively, a PVD panel filter - £24.95 and also on the shelf.
Add a cold air feed for 20.99.
Carriage £7.95 on induction kits, £5 for panel filter.

I phoned you and you did not answer. I am now away for my chips and cheese

My mate has an Astra Sri Turbo which is the same engine as yours. He has just put a pipercross induction filter on and scorpion exhaust system. He got a 14.997 at Santa Pod a couple of weeks ago. I'd say go for it.

Don't you dare fit one of them stupid fuking things to your Turbo mate!!
Just de-restrict your airbox and fit a decent panel filter mate.It takes about 15 minutes and you will notice the difference in throttle responce and it does give it a bit extra BHP.
U2U me for some details mate.Oh and you can change it back just as easy as you changed it too

We rolling roaded Vicki's Astra Turbo before and after fitting a Pipercross - it gave about 8bhp throughout the rev range!
All cars vary with filters, but very few Vauxhalls with lose power with one fitted.
