Re: Some questions for the group....

you dont want to remove the oxygen sensor off any street engine, It is
illegal, causes poor gas, and poor power.  Get a fitting and have it welded
on.

You dont want to drill out your airbox (punched airbox) It or buy a pflow
type kit. they just make your car loud and suck hot air.  A scoop (ram air)
system is better because it draws cool air from outside the engine
compartment.  ABD now makes a kit to enclose your pflow to run it to a scoop,
why would you remove a airbox and replace it for the scoop?.....You shouldnt!
 Fashion yourself a scoop and youll get all the air you need, VW's have good
intakes anyway, so save your $$$.  If I recall a drop of 10 degrees is good
for 1hp or something, May not sound like much but that engine compartment
gets hot.
the reason you cant get a pflow is because a CIS(e) engine uses a mass
airflow plate over the airbox to tell the engine how much air is going in and
calculates how much fuel to use.
