Does the airbox sit at the back on that engine?If so you will suck in hot air.Gti's/Vr6's the box sits at the front, so ideal for picking up a good supply off cool air.
I see what you mean.I'm still in favour of panel filter and drilled box on gti's over induction kits.You then get good air flow without the hot air problems.This obviously won't apply to the 1.8 engine.
