* if you make this mod you need to ensure that cam cover breathing is maintained by not connecting the breather to the throttle body - it is blanked off on the 1.8t unit.

I've got a vvc inlet manifold with cold air and stainless exhaust. As you say, does seem to run better 😎

I'm curious. Why would you drop this in a thread with adults? It's almost as if the teacher's walked into the classroom of 8-year olds and passive-aggressively asked them if they know anything about the puddle in the corner.
