RE: audi 2.0 head

Yeah, I had the same problem.
I cut a hole in the rain tray (soon to be covered with a bulging piece of
sheetmetal welded back) and have not had a problem since.
If I was to do it again, I would have lopped off the ends of both manifolds
and swapped em' filling in the old cold start end.
This mod also required shortening and re-running the metal tube for the Aux
Air regulator.
I still think it was worth it though.

		4.    Just plain looks cool :-) 
		5.    Cannot verify, but I've heard the runners are longer
than the 81

		Just thought I'd throw that in. 
		I can send pic's of the setup for those interested. 
		
		



	hehe... I did that same thing a couple years ago on my Rabbit. After
the 
	groove that was worn into my drip rail though, I think it would be a
good 
	idea to move the cold start valve.
