Apexi Power Intake - there is not one to fit newage and it is a restriction above 350 so woiuld actually be worse.
The car is still on the tmic and therefore the airbox works very well as supplying cold air rather than engine bay air..

Fair point about the airbox, but have never seen the air inlet on a newage one so not sure what volume of air it can pull through. Will take your word for it.
With regard to the Apexi, they do one for the newage as Dukeboy has one and it comes with a MAF intake pipe.
Not sure about the restriction above 350BHP as Rob's 2.5 literally came alive when the we swapped from airbox to Apexi. I drove it in both states and it was a completley different.
One was the drive home from the RR on the standard airbox and you could feel the torque drop away above 5500rpm. With the Apexi it pulled well through to rev limit..
