(OEM style)... :rolleyes: ...Lower intake temps means denser air which leads to a smoother ride... :rolleyes:...Notice,I didn't say more power cos the actual hp, using this method may not be felt at all... ;)...perhaps smoother..ps. do you drive a GTI?? and if yes, what mods have you done so far... :D ...who knows, I may have met you somewhere before or at TT'sRegards & cheersGerard</blockquote>
