Run some cold air ducting to the airbox to give extra air

I drilled around 30 holes all over the wing side bit (its the bit that is kinda seperate from the main box). Looks like abit of swiss cheese! Sounds great. Better than my brothers 205 with K&N induction kit.
Now have Scorpian exhaust, sounds great.
Drill more holes, if not more make em bigger

would the PVD BFO Cone be any good for my 1.2 8V or is the drilled air box any better?

wont gain you any power, nor will drilling the air box really, maybe 1-2 bhp max! bfo will be louder and looks better, bigger than the actual engine lol! just get a cold air feed on it
