    The Holey Grille

    young fizzy boy asked this question on my behalf before i signed up here.. but end result was good

    So as it was posted on eurosport.org.nz...

    So i was bored this Arvo, No Drinking buddies in town so i thought i would just start trying to make the R32 look a bit better for as cheap as possible.. ;D

    it wasnt much but hey it was better than nothing!

    It goes a little something like this...
    +

    equals
    &

    times that by 3 Hours and it equals



    Which proves that...


    is Greater than...
    &



    I too have a CAI.. but this i beleive has greatly benefited it its now got cold air blown straight on to it which is kinda a good thing init?

    Should be a very good thing, but i'm still not gonna do it to my car. The POD filter is just behind it, and i don't wanna think about it every time there is some water on the road (not that it happens often in Perth ).

    So is mine?

    water blowing on to it isnt going to do jack

    i knows as it was pissing down hard for the last 4 days

    is when you completely submerge the pod in a puddle thats when your going to have a problem!

    its was actually advised to me by the VW Techos to drive with the Grille out as the pod wasnt getting enough air.. it threw some readings out when they were running diags on it

    Definitely want to do this mod now. Looks so much better. Hitman, would it be worth using a heat gun before cutting out the pieces or do they cut out quite easily without it?
    I think I'll still get one of those air bypass valves when I get my cai tough.

    I used a hair dryer just to gently warm up the grill every few minutes or so, also you want to have a few spare blades as the sharper the blade the easier the cutting.
