drilling bottom or air box



What is it with you guys, the stock setup does just
that: it draws cold air from behind the front bumper.

If you think that it goes faster, you had better come
up with serious numbers, or else it it just snake oil.

As an added bonus, IMHO it looks ugly. I ain't putting
no kitchen ducting in my Scirocco...

Please get serious, get real improvement to your
motor, something that will work. Exhaust, Cam,
porting...

Cheers.
