Look what arrived in the mail... :biggrin:
So I get to work with some help from my little assistant. Installation was pretty simple, except some of the clips that held the air pipe onto my car were different than the ones in the instruction manual and taking them off was a major pain. Guess it's something to do with being an "old" GTI.
In any case, 45 minutes later, all done...
Left the car running for about 15 minutes so that the computer could get used to the new airflow, then took her out to fill her up with gas... throttle is a bit more responsive, she's behaving a bit better and there's a slightly nicer noise coming from the front (guess the intake chamber is more pleasing accoustically than the old plastic one with the lid off). Very pleased with the result.
More to come, hopefully by the end of the month...
