with real oem airboxes being as rare as hens teeth and most aftermarket "performance" filters ending up as a hot air intake with reduced surface area....

im looking for a somewhat oem replacement airbox from a different vehicle thats more available.

ive seen a few on ebay that are similar but im wondering if anyone knows of or has already figured this out before i start buying random airboxes and wasting my money.

thanks

jim

BMC CDA connected to the throttle body with the OEM intake hose/tube. This way the distance between throttle body and filter remains the same. And it sucks up cold air. That is how I have fitted it in my to GTI6 converted phase 1 XSI.

Only thing to keep in mind: avoid puddles. The opening is facing the tarmac… so might act as vacuum cleaner Wink

been there, done that. Sad
fitted the air intake to a fog light hole on my second gti6, drank a puddle, totally effed the engine.
sounded like a bag of spanners afterwards.

ive went and got a 2.2 hdi boxer airbox off of ebay. looked close enough to a stanny airbox but the things waay too big, bloody clutch cable brackets a pain.

its hard to find an oem airbox with the 76mm / 3" diameter, the peugeot rcz airbox looks like a good contender space a fit wise but i cant find its tube diameters....
