GTT Cold Ram Induction Kit

[neilw]

Hi Folks,

I received my GTT cold ram kit yesterday and have just fitted it, it went on very easy and only took a few minutes. I haven't drilled the holes that roland recommends, has anyone got any pictures of holes they have drilled? Also does the panel come out quite easily or does it need to be done while it is still attached?

Thanks,

Neil

I just drilled mine with the airbox removed. Have to be careful though because there are brake pipes behind it.

Yeah I noticed them when I was fitting the new filter. What size and how many holes did you drill?

[Root Ginger]

Two holes, 60mm I believe.

Use a point to mark the centres of the holes with a dent. Drill a pilot hole just to make sure then use a hole cutter. The plastic is pretty slippy (especially if you've cleaned under the bonnet) and this should ensure the drill bit and cutter don't slip.

The holes, as well as allowing more air in, also increase the supercharger whine in the cabin.

A fellow Aberdonian with GTT kit - fantastic! That's just the start.....................trust me !

I drilled 2 x 50mm holes in my back plate although have thought of drilling a few 10 mm holes just to get a wee bit more airflow.

I was reading your post about going down to GTT the other day, I thought their must stuff must be worthwhile if you were going to drive all that way for it! I normally get bored of motorways by the time I get to Cumbria!

I didn't drill mine.........just attacked it with a stanley knife and cut out a big square-ish hole

I bet it was, probably a good bit quicker as well!
