just to prove that the 180 DOES suffer from heat soak me and matt reid played around with the air filter on the rollers. we compared an induction kit in the wing (open cone) and what would have been an induction kit located in the engine bay (again open cone) and with the filter in the engine bay it lost 4bhp over the filter located in the wing. so to all the owners that have a filter in the engine bay.... PUT IT IN THE WING!

i thought it would suffer but to loose 4 bhp was quite a shock. Reidy also reckons for the people that are running open cones in the wing (like i am) we should run a CAF to the filter from underneath the car.

hope this helps a few of you!
