A few kettles full of boiling water took care of mine, then I used some polish to remove what was left! No holes and you can't even tell it was there! Hope this helps

Air filter is done, anyone know if its any better with a forced cold air intake, it sounds amazing and seems to run fine without one, but if its any better with, ill get it done!

Not sure if it does make a massive difference. Technically the hotter air from your engine bay is better as there is less moisture in the air there, but the colder the air triggers a sensor on your intake as the colder air needs more fuel to burn efficiently. Personnaly I'd leave it for now with the colder weather coming and perhaps in the spring consider it then.

Isn't the hot air worse? Because of the way the engine works, if you put hot air in, it can't compress properly, and you'd actually lose power. You need cold air so that it sparks, warms up and gets compressed before being pushed out of the exhaust. I dunno, I could be wrong, that was just my understanding, that cold air is always better. |

Yes have to second this mate. You lose power with your filter sucking in hot air this is called "heat soak" and with how close the baleno engine is to the filter area you get it very badly. The colder the air is when it enters the better, this is why they created the "enclosed induction kits: BMC, Pipercross Viper etc everything is enclosed and has the cold air feed is attached to the filter so keeps the air cool as possible. I would get one soon as you can mate. |

heat soak is more commonly associated with turbo intercoolers. yes cold air is better, but directly taking in cold air from the front of the bumper will be full of moisture. technically the best thing to do is have your filter in the engine bay to suck in warm air, then have the pipe run through the front so it simulates an intercooler. i had a cold air feed from the front onto my filter but when it rained it just led the rainwater straight into the intake. also in the dry when it worked without sucking water into the engine i wouldnt say it made a notable difference.
