Hi all just got my filter today took about 5 minutes to fit.

Just wondered if anyone else has this problem (If it is one that is)

There seems to be a small gap in the filter housing in between the gap there is filter so don't think there will be any contamination issue's just wondered if anyone else has had this.

It just makes for a nice seal, mine is exaclty the same. Let us know how you get on with it mate.

Thanks for your replies, its put my mind at ease.

Hi. Had the filter in for a few days now and has deffinetely made a difference in performance on cold starts and in bottom end. It also seems to be alot better than standard and higher revs in higher gears as it seems to sound like the engine isn't working as hard as the foam breathes better than the paper

. LOL

Will it fit R56 Cooper S auto?
How much is it shipped to Sydney, Australia?

my email: n_lee2000@hotmail.com

thanks

TallAndy · Feb 22nd, 2008, 08:44 AM

I'd go for the full alta induction kit if I had an S

Got chance to drive an R56 with the itg tonight & can personally recommend the Cooper filter v highly !!

MUCH more torque esp in 6th

&

IMPROVED fuel economy by over 15%

filter pays for itself in no time with current fuel prices !!

MrMini748 · Apr 9th, 2008, 03:06 PM

Have there been any comparisons of the ITG filter vs. the Alta one.

They're both foam so do they both produce the same results as judging by everyone's responses on here I'll be getting one

Vecchio Engineering · Apr 9th, 2008, 05:53 PM

Slightly off subject here, but we now have the Cooper S R56 JCW filter in stock!

MrMini748 · Apr 10th, 2008, 08:37 AM

Oooo and how much is that? Can it be fitted to a standard R56 S or is it a replacement filter for the JCW only?

Is the ITG filter worth the extra ~£30 over the Pipercross or Alta filters?

Vecchio Engineering · Apr 10th, 2008, 08:44 AM

I’m afraid the filter will only fit the JCW airbox. The filter is priced at £55(Inc vat). There is a good reason why we only stock/sell ITG filters.

MrMini748 · Apr 10th, 2008, 09:05 AM

Ah ha ;-)

Do you stock the JCW replacement air box?

You can't buy this seperately for the R56MCS. You get it as part of the Works stage 1 tuning kit.

MrMini748 · Apr 10th, 2008, 10:09 AM

OK maybe I'll pass on that one then...

Think its a toss between the Alta and the ITG. Considering a BOV adapter too...

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

It'l sound like a Leyland bus

MrMini748 · Apr 10th, 2008, 11:09 AM

Oh dear - not even a Routemaster

LOL

Heard it gives a noticeable change though - performance wise...
