DIY: Air box mod

[poopypants]

BTW. I did some reserach in ETKA and cannot find any airbox part numbers that weren't missing the part you are having them mod. I even looked at German S4s as early as 03. I looked in 4 different countries for variations. None were found. They all show they have that port. Who knows though they apparently threw something on the early production models before they finalized the car or something. Interesting huh.

Very interesting. Why would Audi do that....

We have been looking into making a ram air kit as well. Except if you look there is hardly any room so we will have to build some kind of unique or flat piping to get it up and over that aux radiator.

It is on our current long list of new products to build and look into.

That would be uber cool if you guys can figure out a way. I would be interested in the future if you guys succeed. When i took the whole airbox out, i looked and prodded around to see maybe if I can make a ram-air of my own, but the space is way too tight.

Pretty much all manufacturers do this. If the car goes into production and they don't have all the parts they planned on they can just grab something that will fit from another vehicle that may only be a minor sacrifice. Just like when they do a changover, not all parts will go in on the same build date. They just phase the out as they run out of all the old stuff.

Pretty normal approach for cutting costs or getting the car to market to make the new car dealers happy who were promised a new model to sell.

We will announce it here first. It may be a while but definitely on our list of what to look into.

The problem with current intakes is with more than just the intake itself. Look for all the info and writeup in the coming months. We have the solution currently on our car and in the testing phase, among some other mods to be released soon.

Revealed? Shoot, are we going to have to throw a "jhm ram air revelation " party? It's a vent and a flex tube, not a whole new car model..

I hope we can throw a party. I don't care if its a old shoe and a cup with ducks on it. If its cheap and it works. Thats kinda the formula we all want to see.

If I knew the party was going to be this good, I would have stuck my D!ck in the mashed potatoes!!!

Cant wait JHM!!!
