Title: My new cold air feed trial fit
Post by: MAT ED30 on March 10, 2009, 04:27:18 pm
well guys thought i would try something new as i wanted to keep the aircover and its a trial fit before i cut a normal foglight grill up and have it sitting flush with a black wire mesh to go inside to stop it sucking animals up it  :evilgrin:

Looks interesting but I'm sure with all the extra air turbelence from that new piping, an intake like the carbonio would fare better.

Also and IMO, with a turbo car, you'll  not see any real world difference in post turbo intake temperatures  to make it worthwhile.

Yes but you still have the filter, no doubt an aftermarket one, in the stock location.   :smiley:

....No, but the rest of us might benefit from knowing more factual information. I've no idea which of you is right and it's even more difficult to decide because you are both people whose opinions/contributions I take notice of and tend to believe.

It still might end up as a cold air feed for a normal filter type cai like the evoms or be used to keep brakes cool

Mat ED30

Are you planning on logging your Air Intake Mass with this mod?  It would be interesting to see how your g/s is effected.

Hi Mat,

Sorry to dig up this old thread.....but I saw this ducting kit quite often a few years ago, but not recently.

Can you tell me where you bought the kit?

Do you think this could be used to supply a decent feed to the ITG setup?

....and last if all, do you think the ducting can be fixed securely to both sides? (if heading up to the ITG foam)  :wink:

Thanks  :happy2:


Anyone Else? Please feel free to chime in  :smiley:

Also check out NeilM's build thread:  http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,22082.255.html  < Reply #264. Though Neil's are ducts to the brakes - Very tidy solution for ducting anyway.  :happy2:

Thanks Ed and Robin  :notworthy:

That's the ITG ducting sorted out, well probably a nice winter project in the garage.  :happy2:

With regards to NeilM's "Brake Ducting" it would be real nice to incorporate both the Brakes and the ITG with the same pipes.
 :pomppomp:

I guess the main problems arise when trying to fix the pipe work securely. It will need to cope with the bumps, speed, vibration etc.


 :ashamed:Another Link im after......Can anyone remember the oem plastic air scoops that fitted to the front arms under the car or something???  :confused:
