cheap enclosed induction kits ?

£45 doesn't sound cheap for one....

Cheaper than a £100+ pipercross , BMC, or ITG filter

I imagine the ebay jobbies are fine for what they are, as long as the filter inside isn't restrictive

Can't see it making a difference on a 1.8, but if you're prone to driving through fords then being able to relocate the air feed to somewhere that doesn't suck it all up and hydrolock your engine can only be a good thing.
