    But the point is, you need either the whole kit OR the original airbox not both.

    But that is an induction kit, for your car, that's all the kit consists of.

    Glad you may get it sorted out now.

    I think you're looking into what an 'induction kit' is too much.

    An air filter is just a filter, nuff said.
    An induction kit is a filter, plus whatever else is needed to make it fit / plumb pipework together etc.

    In this case, the 'induction kit' that company make for your car, consists of joining the filter to the standard airbox.

    however, there's loads of different types and brands of induction kit.
    My golf for example, a K&N 'induction kit' consists of an air filter, a rubber hose and 2 clips to bolt the filter straight on.
    The kit i have consists of a massive alloy pipe which leads the filter down into the bumper.

    They're both still induction kits, you just need to do your research first to make sure you know what you're buying

    in my opinion i would have gone for a full refund and get them to buy a new air box and go somewhere else, they messed it up once whos to say they wont bodge it up again.

    But your choice and your money i hope for you they dont mess you around best of luck

    Ok, this thread is beginning to read like another bell end error. So be careful.
