that car is dope, the only way i like that bumper is if you got a fmic to fill it, other wise imo it looks goofy, and those white rims are dope too

YelloA3GTI,
I am actually helping others. In the Car Audio forum (http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=231917) Folks are wondering about a PS2 in the Glovebox like Jason did. I posted a picture and everyone was asking for specifics. I was going to direct him to the thread so that he may share what he has done.
Please do say "Hi" to him. It was cool shooting the breeze with him. Thanks!

800-1000 derek.
and it doesn't actually net horsepower.. it helps prevent heatsoak.. thus allowing you to keep on the boost. plus it can cause pressure drop if not designed/installed correctly.
still looks badass though

thus allowing max hp right? not producing, but aiding in the production by other means, right?

werd, it allows consistency of power while driving. Maybe pick up 5-10hp. But a FMIC with to large a surface area and to much piping for the car it's on can also increase the turbo lag. http://****************.com/smile/emthdown.gif

heh

Flipp, pressure drop is actually a good thing. PSI is the measurement of how much air is waiting to get in the motor. Just because you get say, a 4psi drop, doesnt mean your making less power... You car is just that more effiecient in making power.

Re: heh (blackdub)

actually it reduces the temp. of the air before entering the intake manifold so yes it will add horespower. most people with them that i have talked to say they only feelt a power gain in higher rpm's though. and damn it looks good!
