Title: 1.6 AZD air intake upgrade
Post by: 1.6mk4GOLF16v on 12 April 2012, 14:01
ok so i took the engine cover of which holds the panel filter and i came up with a few ideas
just needed a bit of advice on if itll work or not

the engine cover also has the cold air intake on it but it has the potential to allow more air if i was to drill out the opposite side (red X) would this work?

got rid of the little white hot/cold air intake flap as it looks very stiff n the valve which isnt connected to any part of the ECU didnt look like it still moved neway

looks like a maze  :grin:

Ditch the whole lot, a friend had a 1.6 mk5 golf with a very similiar airbox and he put an open end airfilter on and that made a suprsising amount of difference
