It's a piece of pipe coming from the metering unit to the throttle body. It's made of metal instead of plastic, I'm not too sure if there is any real power gain or if it?s for sound/looks.

possibly good for a bit extra power if you add a decent airfilter /induction kit . i got one fitted . made a difference with noise when i drilled my air box . right grunty muddy funkster i can tell you . looks pretty aswell . nice stainless steel mine is . if you want one would recomend www.trimsport.co.uk . very helpful people and everything is hand made. :)

Got one on the Mk1, pipe is wider and more direct than original. Also I have got a Digifant spec throttle body on mine so hopefully i am getting better airflow to the engine. My car sounds like a demented wasp in a Jar when it opens up. ;D

did i see a can of red bull under your bonnet???  Or is it jus me?  You have a water deflector under there or is that the original plastic bit?  Just I've got one in the post and was wondering where to fit it, whether to remove the old plastic thing and whether they were any good?
