Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    Have a look at the EVOMS intake for Mk4, awesome sound/function
    The EVOMS intake still legal in NSW? i thought they had to be fully in closed? they do look nice though. I'm using a stage 1 AFE that came with the car but I'm a little up in the air with it atm.

      It would be illegal then. It comes with a shield but the top is open. Just explained on my thread that i got done for that exact thing the other day, even tho the filter is technically fully enclosed when the bonnet is closed.

      Theres the BMC CDA intake too which is a fully enclosed carbon airbox, doesn't sound anywhere near as cool tho and I personally think my car has felt way more responsive with the EVOMS

        get some tin or something and just screw it over the top of the EVOM airbox?
        could you use a steel mesh like flyscreen stuff and say its enclosed?

          I just kinda cable tied it to the hole where the airbox screw went in. I went and bought a proper sized pod from super cheap and same things still happening. I'm just gonna run stock air box and get a new filter btw none of the pods I bought were oiled. Thanks everyone for your help
