Why don't you think the airbox counts as an intake mod?

The rules state, only one intake mod is allowed. If you've changed your cooler, you must have the standard airbox. Granted it might be harder to dick you for it given it's an airbox, but if a cop wants to be an ass about it he/she will get you for that IMO.

How much power are you after, in my research i have found that the standard gtr airbox is good for 300awkw any way (some say closer to 350).

Ive got 350kw. Thats all im after, no need for anymore, just want cooler air going in. With the bonnet im looking at it has a vent right where the arc box has intakes.

Legally expensive :ninja:

But worth it if you have the dosh...

Actually, near impossible to tell unless they go ripping your front bar off, but it's still technically an intake modification replacing the standard side mount with an ARC...

Not that I don't believe you but I'd really like to see dyno graphs to back that up. Not being a smart ass here, actually being serious - do you by any chance have any? I've often wondered just how much difference, if any I'd see.

ARC coolers are rad, I had one (and still have a damaged but air tight one for an R34 GTT in my roof). Not sure what you mean about legal, unless you mean the factory mount replacements, which yeah - you'd get away with.

      Its also worth mentioning that 30 years after it left the factory and god knows how many missed oil changes since, there is every possibility that one or more lifters are ticking because they are sticky/gummed up. To resolve that you need to pull the cams then pull each lifter, disassemble, clean, reassemble, soak in oil and re-install, and they should come up good as new.

      What air filter are you running? Is it a panel filter in the stock air box, or a pod filter? Is the air filter the type that is oiled?   If you unplug the IACV, what rpm does the engine idle at?

      Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
