i hope the filter is not exposed from underneath. You dont want it to suck up water

I had a very similar set up on my mk4 gti, and never once had an issue with water in the three years I had it.

You'd have to hit a fairly massive puddle to worry about that

or drive into the ocean

Haha yeah i don't intend on doing an insurance job on it just jet. I dont think ill have a problem with the water as its still protected from the wheel and a fair way off the ground still. Ill get back to you if any problems do occur!

I got the following email off a guy today regarding some mods for the bora.



"Hi Nathan – thanks for the email, the best options are to look at what you want to achieve – performance wise – it’s a case of air induction kit and exhaust system and Revo Software upgrade. All of these will give you around 35kW increase in power.


This increase for an normally aspirated engine is huge, I have attached info on Milltek Sport exhausts and a photo of one of our preferred air kits."



Do you think 35KW is a bit of s*#t?

I would say so. Tell him to prove it by Dyno. And is it at the fly or wheels

[mikinoz]

i have done some research about a setup including headers, full exhaust and software upgrade that are quiet popular on the r32's. The dynos show about 205-210kw on the r32's and i believe they are around 175 stock (please correct me r32 owners if im wrong) so thats an increase of around 30kw at least and apparently the gains for a v6 bora are quiet similar. Having said this im not sure what you have been quoted for the above work but this setup runs into the $8000+ mark.. ouch. definately not enough bang 4 bucks IMO
