That's what you want...they are really good, nice sound and proven performance gain. On a mk4 at least.

(Not sure if they would work on a mk2, dont see why not i guess)

Tho personally i think induction kits are far more hassle then its worth on a mk2, esp if its just a sh!t one from halfrauds or something.

I'd go panel filter, either k&N or Green Cotton (these are meant to be esp good on VW's) and if its noise you're after just drill some holes in the side of the box...wing side that is

I've just re read the first page - see you have already thought of the panel filter route  :smiley:

I wouldnt worry about water ingress, last car i had I put a cold air feed in exactly the same place and didnt ever have any probs.

Only thing i wouldnt do is go driving through any deep puddles lol

To make your own ducting you could use something like this:


Get them at merlin motorsports, then just run up some piping

If you find a montego or maestro in scrappy, they use a plastic air intake that will fit straight in the slats on grill, or would push down inside wing where air normally runs into your airbox, an then pipe it straight into air box, bang on i think

Gloves, that's exactly what I was looking for...though the whole "puddles" thing is making me a bit iffy.

Beechy...might have to look into that, thanx guy
