Bora 4Mo Intake and cold air feed ideas

[Dyldo]

howdy all

So, i fitted my Modshack VTDA http://www.modshack.info/VTDA.htm and am exceedingly happy with the noise over 2800rpm and the butt dyno might be picking up a torquier bottom end and throttle response too.

but it got me thinking about VR6 and 3.2L intake positions and designs and I wondered if folks could post up photos and thoughts on their intakes - particularly if you have modded the cold air feed.

As far as me and my Bora, I will post pics later tonight but my initial fitment had to necessitate the removal of the stock cold air "trumpet" that plumbs the colder air from the passenger side front air dam. Ideally i'd like to get it back to feed a bit more cold air in there but it seems to work for now.

This is the neuspeed CAI that i have had for about 2.5 years now and i love it!

yeah, those neuspeeds looks sweet as, but the VTDA came at a good price and does offer legitimately lower temps going down the pipes (which is the main thing i guess). plus most intakes that have proper decent intake meshing/filters sound wickedly good.

curious, on yours do you get the increased exhaust sound all the way thru, or like me at higher revs like 2800rpm?

good to see you're making good use of the modshack!!

Absolutely mate - you got a BMC CDA right? I'll be hoping to take some photos tonight, just please forgive me if it ends up being dusk/night time shots.

Worked a treat on the Golf. Got my already insanely good mileage to be that much more frugal. Ended up averaging 1200kms to a tank on highways and 950kms a tank in city with many a diesel squirt. With the Bora after 1,000kms or so (and definitely hitting the loud pedal now) i am still averaging about 600kms a tank.

nah i got the VF intake. nathan_b has the bmc.

looking forward to some pics!

Looks very neat and toidy, where mine looks Ghetto Funkified - but one question: Where is your air filter?

The filter sits (or hangs ) just behind the left grille which doesnt have holes in it. So there is no problems with water getting in, but it still gets cold air from behind the bumper. If i want it to get proper cold air i just take the grille out. You can actually feel the difference. I love the fact that thewre is a grille in front because after about 30,000km the filter was still clean. I replaced it anyway
