I've been thinking about this for a while and its been really bugging as to whether it would make a difference to the cars performance or not...

Basically I think it would be a good idea if a scoop was made that sat along the bottom of the front bumper, the idea being that it funnels the air through a filter and then into the engine but has a sort of 'force' induction effect. Obviously, if my idea stands, it would make a greater impact at higher speeds, or am I underestimating the amount of suction that happens through a throttle body?

Has anyone seen anything like this before?

you mean like a totally standard gti6 air intake system?


it works if you have throttle bodies and a big maxi type airbox, otherwise, I doubt it makes much difference other than not sucking in hot air.

I have an air filter that sits behind the front foglight hole so it should get a good feed of cold air, but it doesn't feel much different to other 6's Ive been in apart from the noise. I think you need to be going over 80 to get an appreciable difference from ram air. I know bikes with ram air systems did this to get around EU power limits, as they would produce lower power on a static dyno than in real use.

I always thought that the standard air intake was down under the grill to take advantage of the pressurized air behind the bumper?
