K&N Performance Intake Kit or Thyphoon for Mini on DS3 155THP

[GvarM_CR]

Hi, I'm new on this forum and on the DS3. I'm from Costa Rica and here there are not a lot of Citroen and DS3 only 3-5 units. I have a 1.6 Turbo Gasoline 2015 and I would like to know if I can install any of this aftermarkets intakes from K&N, those are for MINI 2013, the engine I believed is the same but I was searching everywhere with no luck.
Down the links for the parts:

I only have access to Amazon USA, UK to expensive the freight

Does anyone have installed one of this? Are the MINI intake compatible with the DS3?

Thanks to all in advance...

No but try FORGE they do kit thp

Everything on the engine is in the same location BUT the engine bays are different. The mini has more room in back of the engine than the DS3. So I do not think that would fit.

wellcome

plus the mini has a bonnet vent for cold air and we dont so having the intake at the back of the engine bay would be counter productive

Thank you for your answer!! and this Forge do you know if they can ship this to Costa Rica? Or can I make something similar with a K&N cone filter?

There's also a GSR Induction kit due to be released soon from Torque7, they will post to Costa Rica and a discount should be available to full members.

i did a diy short ram intake with a BMC cone and few bits of silicone worked well until i could afford the forge intake

Are you sure it's actually an intake and not purely cosmetic?

looks legit to me , next time i see one in the parking lot ill take a closer look

On the early r56 minis it was blocked, later they opened it to allow some airflow, I think more because people were bitching about it being fake than anything else

Thought that was it, I remember seeing one and noticing it was blocked.

I never knew that Probably cos I get all itchy if I get too close to Mini's !!

I actually like how they look on the outside, inside a complete no go for me.
