Intake for 206TSi

[kook]

I've been reading through the same guys site for the last few days, plenty of good info there for sure.
I did remove the snowguard, there's never been snow where I am. I was going to start modifying the factory front intake cutting out the right hand side but thought if I'm getting an intake what's the point. I'll be doing the intake, hose & inlet pipe all at the same time. R600 intake obviously, still just working out the hose & inlet.

- me neither - I'm in Perth too

When I went to mod my OEM intake my right hand side was already open through to the airbox. The car was 100% stock when I got it so I doubt it was modified. Unless I missed the bit to cut out?

Yay! another Perth Passat 206 R line owner.. quite rare where I am.. I think I have only seen one/two other White Passat R-Line Wagons in my suburb..

This shows you how to do it. Just undo the 2 torx bolts on top and you'll know soon enough whether it's been done or not

Thanks for the link - turns out mine was not modified, but thanks to a multi-tool, drill, files and knife that's no longer the case

I've only had mine since the start of this year. I've managed to meet a couple more guys since then (grey sedan & white wagon). True though - you don't see many Passats in Perth and I bought mine out of Townsville.

We should join one of the meet and greet sessions organised by PVWG. I know they have weekly coffee catch ups on the weekends.

Good to hear. Does it sound any different? It should definitely be getting a better supply of air, especially when you're moving. It's strange why they blocked that side off. I had a look at our Golf 1.4TSi and the airbox side is open from the factory. There is no air coming in from the other side at all. I was going to modify my Passat but ordered an an R600 from ECS yesterday. It looks like I got the last one as now they have no stock. Aus$760 delivered and tracking says here in 8 days.

Not that I can really hear but I've been in traffic to and from work so no real chance to hear at WOT.

Congrats on the new intake. I'd love to hear it when it's installed!
