advise needed please April 25, 2023, 07:31:53 PM hi all new to the forum side of the golfs.I have a mk2 1.8 16v that I'm re-building, I want to put a side vent in the wing like a t4 van has, I've been told that a gtd air box has a side inlet for the air and will work with my engine is this correct or do I need to make my own and get a flexy to it thanks for any advice.
Re: advise needed please Reply #1 – April 25, 2023, 09:18:29 PM If you’re not changing the engine you’re stuck with the air box you have. A 16v has the fuel metering head on top and uses the airflow to control the fuel injection.A GTD, or any other air box will be no use to you.What you can do though is fit a pipercross bottom half specifically for k-jet.

Not sure this is available for late spec ones.
