SEAT Ibiza ?? Cupra Air Intake

Reason I ask, spoke to a guy yesterday who had the BMC CDA fitted, he said he noticed a BIG difference in the 5000 to 7000 rev range which is where mine does flatten off a bit and does feel a bit strangled. A lift in that range would be useful for track days, and I figured it might be due to a restrictive inlet, and since mines chipped, it may need more air over 5000.
So I had a look at the inlet today. The airbox itself looks ok, would just act as a still-air-box, but the grill in the outlet of the box, and the inlet above the radiator would seem to be the main restictions, and they're the main areas a CDA would fix as far as I can see. And seeing as the CDA is around $1200 to $1500, which I dont have at the moment, the stuff you have for around $160 would seem like a good deal!

Seat intake
If you were going to do the whole intake change you would be absolutely mad to spend 1200-1500 on a device to filter air.
If you HAD to do it, you would surely buy a K&N apollo. google it
But in my personal opinion, why ruin a nice looking engine bay with 'out of place' dodgey looking intake bits.
Just buy a BMC panel filter and a forge Turbo inlet pipe and seat cupra intake from Guy Harding and also a new diverter valve.
This is what i have done, at first it didnt make much of a difference apart from making the turbocharger more audible. But over a few days of driving it seems to pick up a bit harder and rev a little bit more freely.
I can imagine it would make a more noticeable difference on a car which has been flash tuned.GTI. Leather.
