Finally; A functional intake

[eurocars]

I couldn't really find a better place to mount it. Im not to worried about how it sits as-is. The hood prop is the only troublesome part. You have to have it situated perfectly so it wont rub. Its do-able, but tricky.

Don't see how it's possible to spike 31lbs...Im not calling you a liar but I have Revo on highest boost setting and it'll hit 24 if I'm lucky

have you considered just shaving the lower mount for the hood strut and switching to a 2 strut setup like the JDM crowd does?

Ah I see, my bad. Did you fix how close the filter was to the headlight housing? Also are you going to make a modified shield to cover some of the filter or anything?

You did a great job btw. Looks good.

I made it that way initially because the top tab on my headlight was broken and the filter helped support it. I cut abotu 1" off of the end of the tubing and it sits fine now. I haven't really found a need for a shield around the filter.

How are you planning on extending the MAF wire harness over there?

 

[eurocars]

over where? the maf housing is tucked on the underside of the intake. there is plenty of extra wire to reach the maf

If you cut the bundle and separate the MAF wires, then yea I suppose there would be enough to reach.

 

[eurocars]

im confused. are you saying that the maf wiring wont reach the maf on my intake or are you talking about a tsi intake?

That is what I was asking, but sounds like you have it under control. Disregard.
