If he wants to ruin the look of the front of his car, he could always remove his OEM front bumper and run with nothing on the front, and save himself the 200 notes for the aforementioned Aero/BTCC/ReferenceSport/K1 bla bla bla bumper
I need some high quality ducting, as I will be removing one of my fog lights, and using it to fee extra cool air to my ITG! Does anyone know where or any links that they sell high quality and durable ducting? Cheers.
BE VERY, VERY carefull I had a bottom [ low air intake] and almost had a engine seize due to water pick up. Only use bottom intakes on the track, OUR roads are unpredictable and subject to flooding with very expensive possible engine seizures. !! try a pickup somewhere near the to top edge of the bumper - which would be out of the way of most road water?!@?
I installed a air ducting via the fog light some time ago. I used some90mm black metal wound ducting from ebay, which was quite reasonably priced. The only probalem ive found with that ducting is the fact the copper(?) wound inside the duct has gone a bit rusty so im thinking of spraying it or something inside.
Basically I have modified the fog light grill by adding a fibre glass shroud behind the hole, as there was nothing for the ducting to connect to on the back of the fog light grill. it seems to work well although I have no idea if it makes a diffeence to airflow or not.
There is a nice big hole perfect for 90mm dutcing just below where the air filter sits so its quiet convenient.
Not had a problem with water ingress as the filter is still pretty clean, where as when I had thr air filter located behind the fog light grill it got into a right state
The fog lights option can be easily turned off in vag-com.
I never had water problems in my ducting pipe and filter is always dry after wet drives. However it does work because the dirtiest part of the filter is the bit where the ducting is pointed right at it.
You can keep your foglight and grill, there is a big enough opening in the grill to allow airflow. Then as DanGB did you can put a funnel to catch the air and ram in up the tube to the filter. My 3" tubing (no front funnel)
exactly like mine mate, however I have the opening of the ducting in the centre grill as the edges have better aerodynamics due to a piece of plastic directing the air that way.
Should be fairly easy to do, im gonna tackle it this summer or when the weathers better and just put it behind the fog like above pics although the k1 bumper is different so maybe try the side vent Poverty and then you can keep your fog not that there worth using anyway.
