With the JCW tuning kit comes some changes to the Air Intake. Can anyone tell me what the changes are compared to the the stock MCS? The only difference looks to be the cover. It now says John Cooper Works.

I am new so thanks for your patience with my questions.

 

JCW Kit filter is a cone and normal fJCW and MCS is not a cone.

 

The JCW kit has a different air filter element as compared to the factory cars. As Ck28Kid mentioned, the kit for the N14 engines has a cone filter. The N18 kit doesn't have a cone, but does have a replacement filter.

 

I have the JCW Kit and my filter looks like this.

Normal MCS and Factory JCW comes with something like this. Very similar to K&N Filters

Ya .. i wonder why they factory JCW's have normal looking filters and not Cone filters.

 

Because its cheaper that way.

 

Has anyone tried the DoS filter that replaces the cone filter in the Tuning Kit??
