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,

    I'm gonna ponder this today, but agree Scott is definately on the money. What's the chances of moving the battery back, or drawing air from the passenger foglight shroud area?

      Don't think you could move battery, it is well secured. I have the sports pack so I use both fog lights... Or did you mean somewhere else?

        He probably thought, to relocate the battery to the boot.

          The turbo inlet is also tiny. If ther must be a bend before the compressor inlet, theres merit in keeping the pipe diameter smaller, as it keeps the air velocity through the bend high, which keeps flow into the compressor happy when its spooling (coming on throttle). This is a design feature vw have employed to improve "driveability"

            It might be worth measuring the pressure drop as was done on the last Polo...
            I can see what you are saying and that the flow looks restricted, but if you test it you may see that the intake is not overly restrictive and that cash could go elsewhere...

            From memory, it was the MAF that posed the biggest restriction in the last Polo GTI.
