Started 7 months, 1 week ago by l3lacksheepsquad
Total cost ~ $70 bucks. I think it turned out pretty clean. Idea thread : http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=3389915 First thing I got was a New Beetle intake tube from the 2.5 motor. Part number- 1C0-129-684-BE Next a 90 degree bend from SiliconeIntakes.com : http://www.siliconeintakes.com...c496c A 3inch filter of your choice, mine is from SummitRacing.com The white hose (...

Nice! I would make my own if I didn't have a Carbonio.

Why not extend it down a bit further so it's not right in the engine bay picking up the heat and vaporized oil? Good idea of using the beetle piping and doing it yourself.

l3lacksheepsquad replied 7 months, 1 week ago
Any vaporized oil should be in the crankcase breather tube... I feel safer with it up higher, my car is really low and I don't want it near any wetness, besides it's behind the headlight which is a good spot for air flow and away from any mechanical parts.

How does it sound? Noticeably better throttle response?

I have a modded exhaust too (cut the center muffler) so it's intake until about 3k then exhaust. Both of them at fairly subtle, even when you wail on it. It's quieter than other open intakes I've had (16v and VR6). I can't really say much for driveability at ...

Looks nice! How much did the whole thing cost you?

l3lacksheepsquad replied 7 months, 1 week ago
I did a lot of smart shopping... Silicone elbow was 17 bucks. Filter was on sale for 21 bucks, I had a 20 dollar gift card I think it ended up being 6 bucks with shipping. The Beetle part was 26 bucks (dealership employee discount). Hoses clamps etc were 10 bucks. Comes to 59 dollars 'round about... Damn I did good! The pipe for the MAF insert was 18 bucks shipped.

Soo glad my car has a MAP not a MAF Looks good though, mines a little shorter. I may end up doing it sorta your way to get it away from the engine more.

Quote, originally posted by Jettakid18 » PS its not a Cold air intake. Do your research. cold air intakes go outside the engine bay to grab air unheated by the engine bay. Because cooler air has a higher density (greater mass per unit volume), cold air intakes generally work by introducing cooler air from outside the hot engine bay. However, the term "cold air intake" is often used to describe other methods of increasing...

Nice, do you have it bolted down somehow, or is it just hanging out?
