As can be seen I'm struggling with the 120mm trumpets in my ph1.
Any way of making them work?
Will they work with the filter hitting the underside of the bonnet? Or am I best to go down to 90mm trumpets?

Ye I think they're SFs.
They definitely angle up off the head, the manifold is at a tiny angle upwards.
With it hitting the bonnet, will I lose performance? Less air flow?
The small grill on a ph1 (cut most away apart from the base into larger piece) looks like it will force the air ulwards

Looks like I might need some 90s then 
Have you got a photo without the filter on mate?
I don't, there about a 15/20 mm gap
I didn't realise you were using this filter its been cut to pieces no? That's never going to work even if you change trumpets, the filter has caging inside. Like I have said, machine the manifold ideally, rounded sausage filter and 120's should have more room. Remember when driving forward them trumpets are only going to get higher. Come buy my 90's and I'll lend you my filter if its delivery time your struggling for another filter.
I will be changing the filter, but I can't find a 100mm sausage one? Biggest I could see was 65mm which suite the 90mms.
Think I will be taking them mate unless someone has some inside knowledge.

you prob wont like this idea, however you could always cut the trumpet and use 90 degree samco hoses to angle the filters down then use individual cone filters??
Don't like that idea lol.
Getting some 90s at the weekebd

didnt think you would but its an option
Can'you just get a deeper backing plate?
I have ktec ones with 120mm trumpets and I'll be needing to remove some of the inside of the bonnet.
Morgan has hooked me up with sausage filter, but its actually 120mm so won't really solve any issues im just going to take the 90s off him, have spoke to jenvey all I will lose between them is low down torque so ill survive!
My next issues is mounting the polo radiator! Who's done it and what's the best way?

That sounds hilarious, and would look hilarious too!
Are you selling the 120s?
106GTI / NovaC20LET
Mount it using the front crossmember and the mounting points on the front of rad. run a strip of metal between each point using drill and bolts then drill thru the crossmember parallel with the strips you have made then run 1 larger bolt thru each strip and thru the crossmember, then put the nuts on tighten them up and away you go.
Maybe, if the offer is right.
What i was thinking, just wondering if anyone knew a better way!

polo rad all i've done is used the rubber feet at the bottom and used a small bent piece of ally plate and used self tapper nut in 2 the cross member and rad, don't want it solid mounted with all metal brackets as the vibration will cause the rad 2 crack... give me 5 mins i'l see if i can get some pics of how mines mounted

Think that's pretty much best you can do with polo rad as its plastic covered you can't weld any brackets on. I got Corrado/sirroco alloy rad I can sell you, then ya could just tig weld a few brackets on rad, that's what I had to do with my nova's intercooler as that had nowhere to mount to. Although that will require a tig set some ally filler wire and fairly skilled welder so if I was you id prob go with the polo crossmember idea.

2 little rubber grommets or something similar between the crossmember and rad with eliminate the vibration.

the hole to the right of where the rad is sitting is where the original Rad used 2 line up with, as you can see i've used the rubber feet to locate the bottom of the rad and also takes up any vibration you'l get, covered a good few K with the rad mounted like this and had no problems

Could of told you they wouldn't fit. 90s are a squeeze on a ph1 bonnet with a decent filter, let a lone 120s. Swoops down lower than the Ph2
106GTI / NovaC20LET
Fair point, no reason that shouldn't work just as well.

just simpler mate, i have seen the way you mentioned but they hadn't used and rubber grommets anywhere hence why i mentioned the cracking etc which is what put me off about it soon as i saw it
It's fine should sell the 120s for more than getting a set of 90s!
Ye I was thinking very similar to yours mate thanks
