standard airbox ???

[Lewis_S]

on my mk2 ph2 1.2 16v the air box has a cold air feed, however this is stupidly tucked in behind the headlight which must be restricting the intake...

has anyone ever modified this themselves ??

i was thinking of getting a K&N perofrmance panel filter and modifying the cold air feed on the standard box.. is this ok to do ?

i can get a pic if u want !

thanks

It gets done alot, its worth while if you can be bothered with the effort lol

there is a duct behind teh grill that directs cold air right to this cold air feed, its very efficient where it is.

on mine i had standard airbox, modified it a bit to let it draw more air, larger feed going to the same place and K&N panel filter, went well!

what did u modify in order to get the extra intake ???

cut the airbox open, cut out the seperator between the 2 chambers so its just 1 big chamber, chop out the square bits inside (bits that look like an RS front grill!!) seal it back together, sounded mental too!! lol ill find the video of it before the exhaust went on 2 seconds
