Dam. I always knew these cars were small but i never thought that with the V6 in there that there would be like ZERO room for anything. Not a second fan for extra cooling, not even a n air duct for a ture ram air could even have the slightest chance of fitting in that engine bay. I understand why the PES G2 Supercharger guys are having such a problem with fitting an intercooler in there.

lol any body know of any thing we could get rid of to free up some room?

Secondly - And body with a CAI for the 2.8 know if there is any possible route for an air-duct to the frontgrills in the bumper? As in, when the stock air box is removed? lol.

Dam i bet you 1.8T guysgot more space in there then 2.8ers

This is simply a "Just thinkin in class cause im boerd thread" guys....

 

Yeah, I have absolutely no problems working on my car.. well, besides the spending money part.

I also have an mk3 jetta.. the engine bay is basically a box with a couple wires in it. I replaced the clutch on that car last Friday, way too easy.

 

 

Nice SC 2.8! Who's is that?

 

i did a custom true CAI on my 2.8 12v. The filter ended up near the passenger wheel well. I couldn't find my original post, I'll see if i still have pics at home.

 

you can barely see the filter next to the oil cooler, faceing downwards.



you can see the connecting tube below on the bottom left.

 

nice intake. question do you ever have any problems with water

 

I know I sure did

 

It used to be mine.

 

I don't have the car anymore, but for the 4 months or so I never had any problems. Only downside is you have to remove the front bumper everytime you replace the filter. Oh well...
