Re: Cold air?

I have an Autotech CAI in my Jetta 1.8T. The filter is right behind the bumper vent. I drove it around 2 months last winter and in a fair bit of rain.
There havent had any isses with it so far. I do my best to stay away from puddles though

Re: Cold air?

no way, 1.8t all the way, yea i wanna drop my car just like in the pictures, its sitting stock height right now.

hahaha yeah man that would tight for sure!! is your car a 2slo?
we'll have to do a shhot once my car is dumped otherwise it will just
be stock shots and thats not very cool at all!

your new wheels look tight man!!! its funny cause I considered r8 reps pretty hard

Re: Cold air?

The PSHHHH sound got annoying for me after about 6 months.

I had a short ram intake and I felt like it was bogging down the car, not sure why, so I bought a K&N drop in filter for the stock airbox and I am really enjoying it, plus it is almost like a cold air intake anyways if you see where that snorkel goes.

No PSHH noise but the turbo spool is still very audible. I'm pretty sure there is a "swiss cheese" modification you can do to it though (as in cutting holes in it like swiss cheese)

Re: Cold air?

Yea thats my car, and i would like to go with a long filter, it looks cleaner in the engine bay. i was just worried about all this talk about hydo lock, but if i can shorten to a short ram in the wet seasons, then perfect!
Mike we should do a little photo shoot with the 2 door, 4 door indigo blue combo, would look sick

Re: Cold air?

I got the P-Flo from a 1.8T on my TDI and just to be safe you can get a splash cover from Outerwears. I found the Outerwears cover a good $20 investment because the P-Flo is not totally immune to water getting into the engine bay.

Re: Cold air?

go with the long filter , ecs has a two piece unit its cheaper and you can swap the end arround so you have a short ram in the winter and re install the long upper in the summer thats what jeff did

Re: Cold air?

You can suck all the cold air you want, but no matter how cold that air is, its going to be heated as soon as it touches the hot turbo. Therefore the "cold" aspect of an intake is pretty worthless on a turbocharged car, what most people like about them is it makes it easier to hear the turbo spooling (louder) since the muffling aspects of the stock airbox are gone.

I think a "cold" aspect is the same regardless of turbo or not. Heat transfer isn't a constant. So yes, 30 degree air coming in might get heated to 60 passing through the turbo, but 10 degree air will come out colder (even if it's 40). So your net "cooling" should be pretty similar and net you the same heat loss advantage (which I agree isn't that much).

The hose to the box isn't so much about temps as it is about pressure and removing negative boost points (compressing the air as it is forced into the stock box). Still lots of debate cause it's hard to prove hp gains. Vagcom does confirm more airflow though.
