Nice one dude, cheers!

Re: Air Filters - I have read about people who often track their car opting to stick with the OEM paper style filters, so while that may be hearsay I can rationalise as to why, though many, many people are running after market filters with their T5s...
Though in most cases air intake isn't going to give you the comparative gains on a diseasel unless you're running a proper dirty map and genuinely need more air flow.

yep, I was actually considering high-flow K&N stock-replacement filter, but decided not to bother because of cost and arguable gains. Maybe I achieved the same tiny gain with paper filter by opening the induction? Thats a penny saved
