Air Intake setup... why cant we POD it...?

[EVN-88G]

That's annonying.

Gonna have to have a look round bunnings or a hose place now!

In regards to bunnings, what size pipe are you after, i work at bunnings. If you are after a black silicone pipe about 2inches or larger in diameter, you are out of luck, the majority of pipe that we sell is the clear polyeurathane pipe used mainly for garden appliences that can come in various sizes, but does not flex well or turn corners withough creasing. Anything else will be exactly what snowy bought (ie. does not have a smooth internal surface) My best bet would be Pirtek, they specialise in that area, maybe even clark rubber, but that may be pushing it. Any other questions regarding Bunnings products id be happy to answer, even though im not getting paid for it, lol

Stuff it, I am going to email them and see what the go is with showing a pic of one product and then sending something different, I'll give them links to the manufacturers web site to show them the two products. They obviously think a hose is a hose is a hose.

I don't expect much response but it'll get it off my chest, not that I'll be losing sleep over it.

Found some interesting reading here on effective locations for siting the cold air intake.

Can I suggest everyone show what they've got currently set up? I'm looking around for ideas right now... I'm not interested in reading articles about different ideas, I'm interested in yours!

Here's the thread on mine, basically the same setup as Snowy's, except I'm using a modified standard airbox, as opposed to the EVOMS. Works well, you get some nice induction noise under acceleration, and with the APR r1 DV you get a small whistle. I don't like to draw too much attention with lots of noise and lairy bits, but like the performance and just a little bit of a hint of what's going on underneath the hood.

Just one thing; you removed the inlet and that feed that specifically directs the air to the MAF - is that a good or bad idea? I was worried to remove that pipe, because i figured it'd make air flow directly into the MAF/plenum.

Spot on Gavs! He'd be horrified to find all the parts on his car that came from a Golf and had the VW emblem engraved/molded onto them.

No wait... the engine cover is different

Hehe, I knew at least one part would be missing the VW symbol,

Hey wait! .....isn't it moulded into the underside of the engine cover.

Not sure which part you mean sorry. The only part I removed was the funnel that runs from under the grill to the intake. Not sure if you mean that, or the channels in the bottom of the airbox. In either case, haven't had any adverse affects and there are no error codes being logged.

I have just deleted 2 pages of dribble that do not relate to the original post. Keep it on topics please.
