Hey I've seen a few N/A 1.6l with gasser intakes on them. They look like it might be getting some more air or at least colder air then the stock N/A airbox and intake. Anyone know which intake manifold is used for this?

Anyone know which intake manifold is used for this?do you have the old style N/A intake with the filter on the front of the intake, right above the valve cover, with the little tube coming out the front where the air goes in? I've seen people drill those intakes full of holes to get more air than the tube allows.
I have my doubts about the "drill holes" in the airbox approach. At best you'd be sucking in hot air which doesn't help power much at all. On my normally asthmatic 1.6D, I have cut the front of the air cleaner and installed a 3" thinwall PVC pipe. The pipe points over toward the bell housing end of the engine. I'm acutally using a gasser valve cover and I've rigged the throttle cable support to fit under the pipe and support it so that vibration/fatigue isn't as much of an issue. I have a 3" flexible duct attached to the end of the pipe, and the other end of the flexible duct is attached to a plastic flange with a 3" thinwall PVC pipe on it that's bolted to the firewall above and just to the right of the master cylinder. I've cut a hole through the front part of the "rain gutter" to match the pipe inlet. So I have a "cowl induction" setup on mine. The air at the base of the windshield is at fairly high pressure relative to under the hood. It might give a slight power advantage at highway speeds.
