Product release - Driver side air intake scoop

[George Ab]

Just a comment to add to the discussion... I love this extra intake grill/scoop idea and believe in the in the benefits. I like some of George AB's comments too... I think the vw oem intake block from the e-golf isnt a good move though. To me, that blocks air flow when moving to the rest of the engine bay. I think there should be a perpendicular block instead that the allows fresh air to enter the bay but disallows the oem intake to pull air from the bay...

Good thoughts. Living in the Northwest, I am not too concerned, but your point is valid and someone who lives in a hotter climate may want to consider.

This is where I got the idea from: http://www.golfmk7.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17170 I noticed the cold air intakes on the market do not seem to put too much attention on air cooling the engine. http://www.golfmk7.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17170 This intake claims to decrease inlet temperature by 26°F.

I installed that GTD piece & noticed my IAT increased drastically, it was pretty bad around 160-170º on a 70º evening. This could have something to do with the diesel wanting warmer iat? opposite of our motors.

Granted this is WITHOUT the driver side inlet ramp, which may change the air flow characteristics.

I've since removed the GTD piece but will do more testing once i get my ram grille inlet installed.

Ok guys I am done taking preorder sales. Here is a picture of some of the options. Remember if you have a hole already cut you will need to contact me with measurements for a special fit.

I will be shipping out just the top vents first.

I am having someone with a bigger aftermarket intercooler than myself test the scoop fitment to ensure it clears the inners under the vent.

Thank you everyone for your orders and support. I will open up sales again after I clear out some orders.

I didn't see your PM until now. Am I too late?

For the preorder prices yes. Now any other orders will be at full cost which is $5 more than the presale price. So $35 and $70.

Matt,

So to verify, you are shipping top vents out?

I have an existing hole cut; however, it is exact size of existing cutout on other side so it should be fine.

 

[2slowvw]

Yes i have already started shipping out a few. I just ask everyone to remember I am not a business, I am just a regular guy who makes these after work and in my free time.

thanks!

Did you notify the people you were shipping to? Just trying to gauge where I am on the list?

Will this work with a golf r. My car doesn't have vents on either side like the gti does.

Pop your hood and take a picture of the front of the grill from a foot back. I am not sure where the Golf R intakes its air from. If the intake system looks like the same system for the GTI then it should work.

Hi, I received the the grate plate today, pulled the grill, drilled and cut the hole, looks good, almost like it belongs there. I won't be driving today or tomorrow, we have rain and snow again, lol. Great job, thanks for a smoking deal!!!
