Plug it. It's worth the 8 bucks for the plug and cap needed

DIY please?

 

[NoRegrets78]

Hardware stores and autozone should sell the plug I used. Home Depot has the cap. Make sure you get a hose clamp for the cap on the firewall side. The pic I didn't have one cause it was a test fit.

why do we need to cap the firewall hole?
it doesn't go anywhere right? :smoking:

 

[ratboyyy]

x2, yea i didn't do it either, works fine

You know, you could just pull off the pipe, plug it, then put the pipe back on :biggrin:

VW folks will never know, and you won't have to worry about capping lol.

it is worth it, but u should go with eurojet or neuspeed throttle pipe, gives u better performance than a3 pipe

SO, how many horsepowers am I adding here?
Should I wear a helmet?
Will the addition of boost get me laid more?
Will other things happen also as such?

Neither, I was going to use the plug. Should I not?

 

[rysskii3]

well if ur gonna go that way, then u will see some throttle response improvement, but not much. i would rather go with the real throttle pipe. well thats what i did and it was a big difference.

So, I got lazy and just stuck a big rubber stopper where the silicone connects to the plastic noise pipe. :laugh: I even closed it and it looks stock. Maybe its because I had a few beers before doin it and got lazy. :drinking:

Test drive tomorrow. :burnrubber:
