drilled airbox.....on a uno-point-dos. Pikey style FTW

[danmay]

hi, i'm dan and i've drilled my airbox

the noise has defo improved, get the whole 3000rpm noise at 2.5 now which is better, sounds a lot more throatier and seems to be quicker too, although this could be my subconscious 'i've done a mod, i'm determined that it WILL have made a difference' mood

so there you go all fellow poor 1.2 owners, i have done it, it does sound good, and it cost nowt. resuuuult!

Nice intro.

I do a lot of those mods! The "I've done a mod so I'm determined it'll be better" ones.

pull the engine cover off, take the filter out and drill loads of holes on the bottom of the airbox, pics at the weekend if you need them!

Hello Dan, welcome to the group, I understand it has taken alot of strength for you to stand here before us and own up to such traits.......... !!

When I first read this, thought you meant you drilled into your exhaust box! lol. THAT would have been SO pikey!

Simulates the PTSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH sound of a Turbocharger blowing off, with the use of a small speaker hidden in the engine bay.

I have heard of it before, quite common. I know a few people with the old 3.2 TT's used to do it.

Bit pikeyish for my liking though....

I've seen tests where drilling airboxes has given better power gains than open and enclosed induction kits! So maybe not that pikey a mod

i've seen them and to be honest i'm pikey, but not THAT pikey even my pikeyness doesnt extend that far!

i'm convinced it has made a performance difference though, my dad drove it last night and without knowing what i've done proclaimed 'feels quicker than i remember it does this little 1.2 shitbox of yours'

PIKEY MODS FOR THE WIN!!!!!
