<x-flowed>>Damn Brett, where do you come from?  Not hard to find a scirocco 50mm
>intake?  It took me 2 years to find one.

How hard could it be when I was still seeing them advertised in
European Car of all places?  I'm not sure it's still an item today,
but a few months ago it was.  Most of the tuners advertising now don't
mention our cars anymore.  Of course you'd pay top dollar, and I
mean $1,000 when I say that.

I've talked to my father about getting me one, he lives in Germany also,
and from the yard people he's talked to, they are not willing to sell
just that part.  It's not that don't exist, it's just that they won't
part the engine/head/intake out like that.  Maybe it's just where he
lives, I don't know.

A NOS glovebox cover that has the 16v emblem?   Seriously, it's been
superceeded by the non-emblem glovebox lid, just ask Mike Leach.
