Blocking the passenger side has no consequences. It’s not there to cool anything at all

@Keehs360 and I are both waiting on ours to be delivered. You can get some of the effect by drilling out the snow guard. Certainly cheaper.
I’m still at March 12 for ship date. U?
@Javwohl gave me a stock inlet that he dremeled out himself. I compared those logs to the other one and say a dramatic difference. But the sensor is post intercooler so I can’t call my data precise by any means.

Same here. I hope it makes that big of difference or otherwise I'm starting to think I should have just dremeled out the snow guard. I also wish that I would have got a closed intake so it couldn't pull any under hood engine heat.
I had one. The injen evolution. But my kids got me the injen open intake. And I didn’t want to seem ungrateful. So I slapped that one on and sold the evolution to @Javwohl
Best move you made too.
I guess they saw how happy I was and they decided an intercooler would be next LOL
That's some good kids. You raised them well.

Can't disappoint the kids after such a nice gift.

Start talking about a hybrid turbo.
Thnx. Somehow all of my kids are so independent and really good with their money. I never understood that. I’m sure they got that from their mom, I was spending my money on dumb shit
That's they way it usually goes would spend the money on my suburban and my wife would save it for trips and other family stuff.
Dude I’d buy that and detune so I could run my stock downpipe. At that point it’s a waste LOL. With the is38 I can run a golf r stage 1 kind of tune and still retain my stock downpipe.Start talking about a hybrid turbo.

No plans for big power on that car?
Gotta track it first. My old track wrx’s best was 2 minutes 2 seconds. As is I have apr stage 1 and dsg tune. Intake. Exhaust. Intercooler will be on before spring. And I’ll be getting tires before spring too.
the gti isn’t very heavy, the autobahn trim is because of the sunroof but it still isn’t bad. I’m hoping for 2 minutes 20 seconds with all those mods. From there I’ll probably dive into brakes and chassis.
but if I feel I need more power, it’ll come from the is38. It just seems crazy to pay that much for like 40hp more. The gains aren’t as great since I’m keeping the downpipe stock.
the biggest thing will be the driver mod. I gotta learn how to work around the lsd lag.
