I have a 1997 A4 1.8T I have a simple question on installing a cone filter without an aftermarket intake. What do I do with the sensors that are on the top of the air box once I have installed the cone filter? I plan to install the cone filter in place of the complete air box. Any suggestions and help is appreciated. Thanks.

 

go to the thread in this section that is titled most inexpensive Cold air intake. I have posted pictures of mine.

 

I just installed the filter today. It was simple, I just didnt quite know how the sensors were supposed to be setup. Thanks to your example it made it simple. I love the new sound I get from the turbo :

 

It may sound good but you just installed a hot air intake and your now losing power.Search for BEER MODS cold air intake DYI to do it better.

 

I understand what you are saying. I have an intake from a 99 civic I plan to modify and use to make a cold air intake. After removing the air box there is an opening going to the front bumper. It is perfect for a cold air intake and it will be away from all the hot exaust. I will do this mod in the near future, Ill try to take some pictures so everyone can see what I am talking about.
