Doesnt the standard air box go nowhere near the trumpets though.
I realise you should have the ''socks'' on the trumpets, although the long version that covers all four rather than the individual trumpets, but i thought TBs acted as (As shocking as this sounds) A Super super induction kit?

They do, but you still need to use some sort of filter! I would have thought the standard air intake pipe was a bit restrictive?

The standard air box has nothing to do with the filtration apart from "housing" it.
The standard air box is for silencing & delivering cold air. Something like the ACT/Longmans/Jenvey airbox is good for silencing, looks smart & can house a single filter for all the trumpets. The socks aren't an ideal solution as the bodies literally suck them in!

Also, unless that airbox around the trumpets isnt air tight, its going to be sucking a lot of the air coming of the radiator.

Because it looks OEM and is effectively a cold air feed. I think it's designed to be used like this

i see... good point, do you have an after market panel filter in the standard box?
as im torn between using the standard system like you have or use a filter canister say like the BMC??
as at the moment im just using a very fine mesh that i have fabricated witch i do want to get rid of lol hence i me asking as i want to do this asap really.

If you don't use the Longman airbox (or similar) you'll just suck in hot air from the engine bay. You also need to filter the air.
There's nothing wrong with the standard Peugeot airbox and it allows a filter to be used. I have a K&N panel filter in there.
A cone filter could go on the end of the Longman box but wouldn't solve the hot air issue. If my set up was good enough for Longmans then it's good enough for me.

Edwards solution to filtering is very good. The K&N filter has a good flow rate and the standard airbox solves the hot air issue. It looks neat and the cold air is fed into the system as Peugeot had designed. If the airbox wasnt in the way of the gearbox I would have gone this route....Good one mate

Spike, are you happy running no filter?
I wouldn't risk running without one.
As it's a road car I'd just stick with the standard Peugeot air filter box. It works fine. It's tidy, tough, durable and it's free!
It might be a little restrictive in terms of air flow (compared to having nothing) but I really wouldn't worry about it. It has more advantages than disadvantages. Power is great but not when it comes at the cost of ruining your engine!
I really don't like the look of using fog light holes to provide an air intake. They look a bit 'I'm desperate for 1 bhp' and the air pressure can vary as the car changes speed. That will confuse your engine nicely. They also suck in water too. and flies.

It is a little worrying if the airboxes take so long to build. I was thinking that yesterday when I had mine off the car, if I broke it what would I do?
I'd find a local aluminium or stainless steel fabricator and get them to build one. Hotels need stainless bits making so I'd approach whoever does this kitchen equipment etc.
So what are you going to do about moving the injectors into the manfiold and going back to the original fuel rail?
