I'm not sure, you've got the pipe that comes down from the throttle body which goes into the main airbox with the filter in, then there's another box connected to it via a pipe, as far as i'm aware there is nothing in it

Thing your talking about the resonator part under the intake manifold?
Best thing to do is sack it off / fit a bung, you can buy the bungs i think, its a common mod iirc... | Dyno Power Runs & Steady State Facilities Available, Just Ask Anytime |

Resonator box is just to change the induction noise of the engine. Its not needed but you may find the car to be noisier under load if you do away with it and blank off the hole.

So its not needed then, what about the resontaor box the darrenjlobb was on about, the one under the intake manifold

Well if you get rid of that you will need a bung. As Cully said, it is there for pulse tuning but some people say you gain a tiny amount of torque by getting rid.
