Aluminum CIS airbox?

[Per Lindgren]

The airbox from the WR urq engine I'm going to install in my car 
(temporarily, I'm ditching the CIS eventually) is also of aluminium, but 
is bigger than this one, but yeah, this GTI one might make it easier to 
install. The only thing I would be a bit concerned about is that it 
looks like it has a very small filter area.
