On my 1.4 it has a airbox on top of the engine and I want to put a short ram intake or something similar instead for cosmetic reasons and for a better sound but all the ones i found are for engines with with separate air boxes like on the bigger engined golfs. So how easy is a custom and how would i go round making and fitting it :) or does anyone know of a kit available ??

You already have a cone filter :huh:
-
yeh :) i wanted to have an induction kit which means i can get rid of airbox is this possible or should i leave it standard ??
-
Do you now have 2 air filters on your car? :grin:
-
If you have two filters then major fail. Major. Does it even sound louder with the induction kit there? The airbox is what quietens the engine down, and you've still got it fitted...oh and you'd have lost power from having the filter there, its sucking in hot air :smiley:
-
i need something to put in to replace the airbox is there anything available
-
only thing i would replace that air box with would be a 2l 16v :grin:
-
i wish haha
this is a pic of airbox removed could i just put a silicone pipe from where the butterfly valve is down to bottom of engine bay with filter on end and then have separate small filter for oil ??

Just to clarify, is there currently an air filter inside your air box as well as the cone filter or is the airbox empty? :huh:
-
just took external filter off and replaced filter inside box :) originally had no filter in box just external filter :)

You might want to remove the throttle body and give it a mighty clean.
Doing what you want to do of running a silicone pipe with the induction kit is just going to cost a lot for little/no gains. Not worth the effort and money.
-
i would clean it but i don't wanna break anything ahha any advice ??
-
Easy. There are 4 allen bolts holding it on. Just remove the accelerator cable and any vacuum pipes, and be careful peeling the throttle body gasket off as you'll want to reuse it or buy a new one if the old one is very old. Use carb cleaner or petrol to clean the throttle body with a toothbrush (old one ofcourse).

il do it now :)
