I read a magazine recently that tested an airbox (drilled) and stock
filter, then
used panel filters and then replaced the whole thing with cone filters.
The panel
filters showed the best results over the stock filter. The cone filters
were quite
pathetic. You only seem to score browny points for looks of the cone.
Might work
better if exposed to more cold air. Maybe. I don't know.

I'd reckon it's where it is because shortest distance to the turbo
intake. :) How
about: where's a decent space to put it in that crammed engine bay? :)
