Question regarding stock airbox

[COOL COUPE]

The rubbery piece on top ... It heat soaks BIG TIME in hot weather ... I see it sort of directs air to be pulled near the top hood area for fresh cool air from outside. Is it better to simplify remove it? It's a restriction ... Removing it will increase the volume of air to the box... Thoughts? Back in the old days we would take a circular drill bit and do the air box mod ... Chop chop ...

i funneled air to that piece so it goes directly into that opening. it definitely helped with the heat soak

Do you have any photos showing this setup? Really interested in how this has been done

This is for the fk8 i believe. I recently enquired about this air duct but once i checked under the bonnet i realised it would not help the 1.5 set up unless we actually fitted this to the lower bonnet where our air box opening is. I am looking into ways to draw colder air to this opening but its still early days!

Non Type Rs are using this as well.
