TLicense Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 This thread is spooky, I was looking at exactly the same thing on Supraforums last night / this morning. I was thinking of using the template on there and making 1 out of 1.8/2mm thick carbon for when I go single later. Would anyone be interested in one?

wez_p Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 i'd be interested too the best i've seen so far is this one on MVP but they only seem to come as part of a package when you buy the filter http://www.mvpmotorsports.com/merchant/catalogpics/mk4/gary/pic05.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 just spotted this http://www.tdi-plc.com/supramk4tdiairbox.html no idea if it's good, it's open backed which doesn't sound perfect, just thought I'd post it up. Not sure about TDI, are they any good in general? I prefer the sound of TLicense's idea or the supraforums one I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLicense Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 That TDI one looks like it could be good. If they'd only gone for the closed back. I also like the idea of the MVP one where it keeps the feed from over the rad. What I'll do is have a play over the next few weeks and see what I can come up with. If it ends up any good I'll post some pics up and see if we can work something out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wez_p Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 there was a TDI one on ebay the other week the open back is simply to allow them to cater for as many air filters as possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markssupra Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Just had a look at mine with with the Apexi kit. Not as straight forward as I thought, cardboard, scissors and some sticky back plastic needed I think. Blue Peter moment coming. Not sure about the open back on the TDI one though.

uk-rich Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 i had the tdi carbon air box thingy when i had twins and hks induction, almost totally stopped ANY induction sound, which is not my bag ! when i went single i made this heat shield, it follows the contours of the underside of the bonnet, to create a seal. took the shield up past the turbo, to prevent any heat soak. ran a collector from the old intercooler duct (you cant see the funnel, but its the same size as the opening, to get all the air possible), linked to some 3" flexible alu tubing, which runs through the wing, same route as standard piping takes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markssupra Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Oh yes Wez, had a go at it earlier. Got the cardboard bit made. Managed to pick up the original intakes as well and making it fully enclosed. This will fit an Apexi induction kit. Ally cutting tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SatSport Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 also this seems to be important for extra cold air.... `Cutting up extra holes for intake I went and cut my air duct a little bit different, the air duct is taking the air from the front, under the headlight, but i wasnt happy with that, so i cut it to take the air from underneath, with a bigger opening hole now. I also cut a 3" hole that will be inside the air box, wich will give me cold air from underneath and from the opening hole from the front bumper bar.` http://img327.imageshack.us/img327/7409/makingairhole2wf.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Prawn Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 I have been thinking about the above and cannot see the point of fitting one. They look nice and shiny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
