Scirocco Cold Air Intake

[drew at scirocco.cs.uoguelph.ca (Drew MacPherson)]

This is designed to bolt on to the fuel metering plate housing in place of 
the entire black plastic piece that the lower half of the airbox (air 
filter housing) clips to.

You then run piping to a K&N cone filter located out front where it can 
pick up bugs, stones and water.

Will it mean colder air and more power?  More air, likely - as the 
restrictive preheat valve is no longer in the picture - and this is likely 
more important.  Colder air does not necessarily mean more power with CIS 
and CIS-E because they are not able to factor air temperature (and 
therefor air density into the equation) to adjust the amount of fuel 
accordingly (not some CIS WUR's have atmosphjeric ports for high altitude 
compensation.)   However, cooler air from the front of the car is better 
than hot air from the engine compartment, which is my a mod like this is 
superior to a swiss-cheesed airbox.
