    HELOOOO.

    Fitted my new PiperX filter today. CHEERS EUAN! Thanks for being more organised than me!!

    Just one question. I find that when moving just above idle speed, like in Qs n stuff, the car tends to kangaroo a bit.

    Could this be an unwanted air restriction? Is this normal?

    Ewan, not sure about that, remember you're shoving more air in - is your ECU coping with that (ie enough fuel) at low speeds/part throttle? How's it going when you're on the move? Does the MTH conversion compensate for the Induction changes, or is it set up for the standard air box and should it be upgraded to suit the new set-up? Any ideas anyone?
