Right so I want to change my Air Box to an Air filter on my Mk7.5 Fiesta Black Edition 140 - But I have noticed there is a air sensor attached to the unit if i fit an air filter will this cause me any issues if the sensor isn't plugged in?

Cheers

I think he means changing from being inside an air box to being an open air filter.

 

If you change it to an open air filter just make sure you put the sensor along the pipe that connects to the air filter. 

You need one of these to replace the airbix lid, then fit whatever filter you like, most induction kits would come with this duct.

You know an open airbox can potentially reduce performance?

I didn't know this, do you know how?

It will suck in the hot air from under the engine.

Hot air is less dense which means less oxygen for combustion.

So an open airbox is more for "sound" rather than performance?

Exactly.
