Drilling airbox?

[marcus123]

nice, easy conversion?

what bhp u pushing?

I have been told that its a fairly easy conversion but dont quote me on that.

I wish my car was running fine when the site had a rollong road day at amd but had a few little problems. I hope to have it up soon to get it tuned as its eating petrol like a b!tch.

[marcus123]

nasty

do you reccomend the conversion then?
im looking for more power out of my 16valver

but then fraiser told me that you and him had a few races and he sed you couldnt keep up with his 16 valver?

9A block is a straight swap for the KR block

Just drill it, piece of piss to do and sounds nice. Optimal if you put an performance filter in there but still sounds nice with standard filter. Should take 10-15 mins tops.

LMAO@Fraiser. He is older and wiser so i thought id make an old man happy. TBH he did rinse me a couple of times, but since then i have had a new clutch and new linkage parts, i dont think he would come near me now.  

9a i have heard is a easy swap and well worth doing for easy extra power or even better as ive been told mines got a 1.8 16v top and 2.0 16v bottom end, will take some pics to confirm.

Can you take the box out completely and replace with a cone filter as long as you can get it to fit?

cone filters would not b the best thing o use if u want a little more get up and go ur safer keepin ur airbox and usin the k&n flat panel filter as these do take in a cold air feed tho the cone type filter takes in a warm air feed and that would b no use at all the only thing u gain from addin one of them is some note. safer off wif flatt panel and a few hole`s as some mentioned about there inner wing being already cut all vws r like that jst pull away the black plastic box and theres ur hole there a thing about that if u want cut the vent from the vw transporter off the wing off it cut a bit outta ur wing and weld it in over that hole and that will supply ur filter with a cold air feed

[VeeDubGTI16v]

you gotta keep the airbox on a 16v anyway because of the metering head

just done this mode to my 16v 1.9 190bhp motor. how nice does the engine sound now. this is a good and easy mod to do ur selves.
