i have my air filter in the normal place at the bottom of bumper. With winter kicking in i dont want to flood it and iv seen them mounted on the throttle bodie with a extra flter for the idel control. Is there any performace gains or losses by doing it this way, any other ideas would be welcome

It will more than likely suffer from heatsoak, the better thing to do would be to fit a standard airbox for over the wintertime (which is what i do).No worrys of dreaded hydrolock then  ________________________________________ Audi S3 Black Edition |

last year me and a mate rebuild his 6 engine because of the filter was down by the bumper, resulting in 4 S shaped conrods and a damaged crank! after seeing that id never mount one there.. we mounted his on the end of the tb with a short pipe, hasnt been a problem and been like that for 12k or so now________________________________________ 230 hp 2.1 16v XU 205 rallye on jenveys Project thread here309 3dr K20 Type R |
