Clio Aftermarket Filters & Heat Soak

[Martinlird]

I’ve had FI cars previously, and they seem to have suffered with heat soak, only using a foam Cone and air feed etc. Even with a heat shield.

But it seems to be the norm with a 200t, to use a (for example) Pipercross Foam Cone.
Is it less of an issue with these Clios?
Running a DIY cold air feed and foam cone?


Is it worth the extra £160 for the ITG?

Thanks in advance [emoji4]

I read that too... pretty impressive.

I just wonder if that’s all to do with the bellhousing, or if a new filter, cold air feed and some kind of diy heat shield may hit similar figures?

Heat soak is only really a big issue at slower speeds really, the blast of air from the front of the car is pretty strong at speed. Just dont put your filter behind the rad, obviously!

Diy cone filter will be fine, nothing too exotic needed on turbo mate.
