Cold Air Intake suggestions

MJG · 08-11-2011, 10:37 PM

I am not aware of any aftermarket cold air systems for the MKIII Turbo.
The stock air filter intake pulls air from the space under the front headlight bucket and is quite effective. Having said that, many owners opt for a high flow filter (I use the AEM dry flow) and build a custom system.
One option is to route an intake tube all the way to the space under the right headlight bucket and put a filter on the end. This will get the filter out of the hot engine compartment enviroment.
Another is to build a box around your aftermarket filter and draw air from under the headlight like the stock system.
I have an air scoop mounted in the right corner of the grill. Flex hose is routed under the right head light to the cut out for the factory air intake. I do not consider a cold air intake, however, it does supply cooler air to the filter when driving.
I can take some pictures if interested.
