#580 is now SUPERCHARGED!

Jolly Roger, is it mounted to anything in the engine bay or is it just hanging from the throttle body?

Yup...just look where Ldub said (connects from the "red coupling" to the top of the fenderwell).

Here is my setup... the Hotshots intake hacked up with a VW intake. With a BBK air filter.

Cyrk, I likey-likey that setup best! Source and part number, please?

Sorry everyone else - but I've never been much of a fan of CF, and I prefer the consistent-diameter tube in Cyrk's setup.

Thanks for pointing out the mounting brackets, everyone - seems simple enough to fab up something like that with an old Erector set.

Just remember, metal pipework will heat up as the engine temp rises and will warm the air as it travels through the CAI to the throttle body. C/F will heat up as well, but the heat is not promoted through it. One of the only reasons I started looking for a heat dampening material to go with. C/F seems to be the best choice, for now, but does come with an ugly price tag.

Oh, and a friendly reminder to fellow S/C'ers.... check that belt tension. Just checked mine Saturday before taking her out for the weekend and she was pretty loose. Cranked the tensioner a bit and the difference was totally felt in accel.

VehiGAZ, The top part is from a VW Golf (I do not know the part#) and the bottom part is from the Hotshots intake from this form way back when. I had recently powder coated it with some heat resistant crinkle black. Over all it has been a fine intake setup I would like to make a heat shield around the filter.

The top part is from a VW Golf (I do not know the part#)

Cyrk, do you mean it's a stock Golf part, or it's an aftermarket part for a Golf? If aftermarket, who is the manufacturer? What model/year Golf?
