I have a similar setup with the BMC type one from the bay. Although I have directed the cold feed to the standard intake. Wonder how much of a difference it would make if I had the feed from the fog light.
well it just strikes me as odd the way Peugeot themselves have done it on their standard airbox. The airfeed has to go in through the bonnet gap, down, into the filter, back up and across to the resonator box and back up again and across to the throttle body of the car.... it just seems a long way for the air to travel before it gets to the engine.
With a fog light feed, the air simply has to go in, and straight up into the engine... air is lazy, think of it that way... it'll always take the easiest route. And the best thing is the faster you go, the more air is shoved into the feed.
And cheers again guys, I'm quite proud of it
and glad I could help by recommending where I got it from and the sizes I used for my particular setup etc... I know that the BMC CDA is something like 85-150mm or something like that? the outlet size of the Apollo is only 70mm or something like that but it has a larger open surface area and gets wider as the filter sits in the housing. The cold air feed pipe is 70mm diameter also.

cheers Joker, hows your S/C suiting you?
I've heard along the pipelines what you were doing for a little while now but didn't tell anyone. I wish I could have mine done, who knows maybe I will surprise you all one day.. or throttle bodies or soemthing of the sort. I used your guide as a rough base idea for the setup I ended up with so thanks again for your initial research bud
okay, part numbers people will need if they're going to copy my setup:-
RC-5052 - K&N filter (add AL for blue, AB for chrome, AR for red)
85-6001 - K&N 80/70mm reducer
62-1320 - K&N crankcase breather filter
5 or 6 x 75/80mm (or over as they will tighten down) jubilee clips
1 x 15/20mm jubilee clip for crankcase filter (again, go slightly oversized as it will tighten down)
*IMPORTANT* 1 x 8mm or 10mm small piece of steel or aluminium to insert inside the crankcase breather filter so the pipe retains a circular shape (so when you tighten it down with a jubilee clip to secure the crankcase filter on the pipe, you don't ovalate and squash the pipe therefore restricting flow and idling speed which could result in tickover and idling being messed up) <<<< learned that the hard way
:p tip - I ended up sawing the end off an 8mm socket from a socket set to give me my insert pipe
for the connection to the throttle body:-
either aluminium pipe with a 110 degree bend or a length of silicone hose (see
JOKER's original setup) 70mm internal diameter, about a foot long in total with the angled bend starting at about 4 or 5 inches.
1 x piece of 70mm internal diameter silicone hose, about 6 inches long for where the filter attaches on (if you went for the aluminium pipe option) otherwise one long piece of silicone pipe (see above) should do.
and also LOTS of cable ties for the cold air feed to fog light
especially if you're going to be tieing it to the towing eye. If your cable ties aren't long enough, join them together
The important thing was that the filter missed the radiator and also what looks like a small clutch arm or clutch related part that comes off the front of the gear box (see picture below) note the small round thing that sits behind my Samco silicone hose
It could create a problem if you dont get the length or angle of pipe right.
that is all, I bope that the ebay seller gets those filters to you as quickly as he did mine
