haha it's weird for me seeing the chevy logo next to ecotec

Oh yeah, I keep forgetting you Eurofags have Vauxhall and Opel instead.

Also it turns out the old intake may have been the source of my engine problems. Like the knock sensor constantly going off.

While reading the installation instructions for the SRI, I noticed a step where I was supposed to remove a drain hose.

My car appeared to be missing said airbox drain hose.

Coincidentally, the inside of the airbox was all gunked up.

I want to go through my car when I finally move and take some time to fix it up a bit. :j

I got to take an odd shot today after installing a satellite dish

Roofs are cool. The problem with getting drunk on them though is you might fall off. Never done it, but I've seen it.

well if I were drunk I would struggle to access my roof

the choice is ladder to the flat garage and across or out the bathroom window

I took the window route

neither are good plans because my ladder sucks

Just drove my car with the new SRI. Whew lad, it fixed everything.

Added a bit more power, sounds far nicer, and now the engine is no longer suffocating under a dry filter that does not even work right.

Nice 😄

I've been considering modifying my box intake for an extra cold air feed because I don't really want a cone filter sucking in warm engine air

but I'm also super lazy

I think there are heat shields available that somewhat stop warm air intake

here's an example of the lack of heat shielding with a cone filter

@LOGiK you would frankly be better off with a whole new intake really. One with a heat shield and cone filter

Whatever power you lose from sucking in engine air is made up for with the heat shield and more heat resistant intake

Its the reason i went with one. Lots of research, amd the general consensus seemed to be that a whole new SRI with heat shield is best for turbos.

I know box mods are enough for s1 tuning and the shitty sr gearbox isn't really up to more than s1, I don't need more than about 300hp so the box mod is the cheap way to go, but I'm very lazy

I guess if I see a z32 afm with a cone filter I'll grab it and remap

I'unno, those SRI's are pretty easy to install.

As long as you remember that there's supposed to be two gaskets in it.

Don't forget that.

I forgot that until I had mine fully assembled. Had to take the whole fucking thing apart again.

Turned a 30 minute install into 2 hours

Volkswagen AG has more Nurburgring lap time records than any other brand, including the current fastest. Keep in mind these are the people who make Porsche.

all modern VW's have Audi engines and they're usually the same ones put in Audi cars so its not rare to be able to bump up your VW by 50-100hp simply by swapping in some Audi parts.

oh, and Lamborghinis are VW products too, and not just in name either, they've audi TSI V10/V12's.

@radeon When did Lamborghini drop their 40 year old V10?

they haven't used the exact same engine for 40 years

Alright, it's the battle of the North Atlantic boys:

2017/8 V8 Vantage, vs Mustang.
