    Sorry I've never tried it before I've just read that its a bad idea to use pvc cause it will melt.

    so i made this and its freakin awesome; but i cut out a small portion of the wheel well also. does anyone think that it will suck in brake dust or any thing that will hurt my engine? i just think i will have to clean the filter a lot, but any suggestions would be good.

    Has anyone had issues with water getting into the intake with the filter sitting in the fender behind the headlights? Thanks

    its pretty easy to do without bumper removal. You can just remove the headlight for access.

    I was thinking the same thing. I think I will convert my FWI to this style.

    I guess i missed something, but what kind of milage and performance gains can you expect from a series II N/A

    furthermore what can you expect from tuning the computer with the FWI?

    I have read on an other site that you can drill a 3-4 inch hole in your airbox and run tubing in the fender. Has anyone you no tried this? I think it sounds like a pretty good idea but value the opinion of others.
