Anyone know how, I'v had a look but cant' figure it out style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" /> Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Edited December 4, 2006 by seat_mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
243 Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 I wouldnt bother routing it through there (even though thats where mine is lodged at the moment style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> )Apparently the coldest and best air is about 6in up from the ground.. I would suggest doing something like GTI_T has done with his GTI, Use one of the lower mesh grilles for the feed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seat_mike Posted December 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 Not really sure at the moment, its alright where it is but was looking to see if there was anywhere better to posistion it.

Silver! Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 (edited) If you got a pair of fog lamp aperatures for the lower grills could you not route it down there with no hole cutting? Would the 'trumpet' fir into the aperature?My side grilles shattered when I took them out. All the top grilles are plastic welded to the surround and you have to break the welds to get the grilles out.So be careful if playing around just for a look.Ray Edited December 6, 2006 by Silver!

ArosaPD Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Hi Mike, this a piccie of the front of the car with ducts fitted mate. border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" />Like I said mate, I'm not running an induction kit, but am running ducted cold air fed into airbox. One thing you will have to bear in mind is that, should you (in the winter especially) run in to flooded water that you could hydraulic the engine if water is injested into it. So be careful how you work it!!CheersMark style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
