They stopped production of the MK3s in 1997. Yours must be a late registered Mk3

I just drilled my airbox and completly removed the 90degree (original air intake angle) off it and ran a Cold Air Feed Directly into the box with some gauze to stop birds gettin in lol...

It sounds alot nicer and it seems to be more responsive (on my 8v gti)

I'll get sum pics up sooooooon.
