I moved my battery to the boot and sited my BMC CDA where it had been with the inlet just by the hole between the chassis rail and the inner wing, it made a massive difference so now when driving the inlet temp never goes more than 5' over the ambiant tempreture, even when it was hitting 30' in the shade in Spain in the summer.

I notice you have an inlet temp of 43', what sort of temp does it normally run at?

Also how do you get 28mpg? I never see much over 20 except on a long run where I can get it up to 30+, bet you've got the upto date version which has UK gallons.
ive cut a section out of it to so its sits neat and looks more like factory standard. Air intake its on a standard zs one and im doing some checks and then putting the itg back in to test the difference in temperature. I got over 35 mpg the other day using high octane fuel and ive fitted a magnet to the fuel line to test that too

It'll be interesting to compare inlet temps with my findings.
