Title: Bonrath Power Rohr
Post by: stevesmitMK2Gti16v on 06 September 2003, 10:01
Anybody fitted one of these to a MK2 Golf 16v? what effect/benefit's do you get? its it worth it?

Below is some info. I got from the Bonrath web-site
BONRATH POWER-ROHR The Power-Rohr replaces the inlet pipe between the metering head and the throttle body. As it has a bigger diameter than the original plastic tube, it improves the performance of the engine. For example, a VW Golf I GTI fitted with a BONRATH Power-Rohr and a K&N air filter shows a marked increase in power and the engine has more mid-range torque and upper range deeper sound.

Won't make much difference really. The main difference is using induction kits or drilled airbox with sports filter, as this stops the depression in the airbox and greatly aids airflow into the engine. This power rohr thing will make a bit of noise but not do a lot else. I'm not convinced !  :-\
