should i drill my airbox?

no its in the old quarrey (literally!)

if your thinking of going there i would phone 1st! not the easiest of places to find atall (apart from if you know the place which i dont)

they did have quite a few cars there but for some reason i expected more... there were 2 mk2 8v's and luckily one was a digifant

 

Is it down the steep hill from the Rock Garage? on the way up to markham

 

its in springfield i think (wonder why i can't forget that ) then up through some streets. its not to far from a ford garage and danz bangers. TBH i wasn't totaly sure where i was in the end some guy said follow me which was kind of him. But the above should show where it is ? (well very roughly)

sure you dont mean arrow ford in pontllanfraith, anyway i'll speak to you tomorrow mate

 

yea i think thats the one! but yea speak to you 2moro m8

 

drill it. i'm doing mine tomorrow. my mate did his the other day and it sounds lovely. the only reason i'm doing mine is cos its a valver with k-jet so cant get induction kit for it, not unless i spend loads of money and the induction kit really isn't that visible under the bonnet. do it, you wont regret it. let me know how it goes

 

at the mo i plan on keeping it inless something starts going wrong! if it makes no difference to the engine as people say its worth keeping for the noise it now makes

 

I DID MINE TODAY AND ABOVE 3000RPM IT SOUNDS SWEET,THERES ALSO MORE RESPONCE.

 

likewise, slight noise at 2500rpm then around 3000rpm you really hear it sounds good with the exhaust going aswell

 

WHAT PIPE HAVE YOU GOT?I;VE JUST BROUGHT MAGNEX SYSTEM WITH MANIFOLD FOR MINE.

I've got a Magnex full system on my Mk2 with a JR Induction kit, and it is loud!!!! You need to keep the boot down to get the full noise out of it, mind.

 

i've got a full scorpion on mine. sounds lovely and i drilled my airbox. it sounds so grunty. i would prefer to have it slightly louder so i might cut out one of the boxes.

 

quite a few garages said fitting my 4 branch would be to hard.luckly i've found a independent vw garage who can.

 

I drilled about 5 2'5 cm hole in my air box a couple of days ago, the noise is not for me and im not sure if it isnt causing a bit of a hesitation in acceleration but im sure my moter needs a tune. it is an 86 8v ev code.

 

i drilled 17 holes in mine but they were only about 1cm if not a little smaller.

ive still got my original air box so can change it back with in a minute. but everything is still running fine and i'm still happy with the grunt at 2.5k and at 3k+ especially

 

17 ? What did you do ? Write your name in it

 

just drilled the hell out of the one side but only small holes though...
