Had a flat battery so tried to crash start down a hill, there was an explosion under the bonnet and my air box has been blown to bits.
Is this likely to of damaged anything else?

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

If your talking about the ICv muffler - thats common - I bypassed mine, disconnected the battery for half an hour(to reset the ICU), reconnected and started - problem solved.Comment

Apart from the box, everything seems fine. Think MAF is ok, but screen infront of it is destroyed. Now just to find a new box.Comment

Wow, that's some good work there
Why not consider a nice CAI intake while your there
If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.Comment

wow. A decent effort. I forgot airboxes arent normally cut up and missing most of the bottom like mine, hichwould make getting enough pressure to blow it up quite hard
did it get blocked or something?
