i suppose the easyest thing to do is replace the box with an induction kit !! but if you feel like modding your air box then undo the top so it reveils your filter .... take the filter out ... and carefully remove the plastic cover thats over the hole where the air comes in ..... jobs a good'un put back together and enjoy a little more freedom
Cheers for that,already got the K&N,and in a past life with VW's had induction kits which to a certain extent I didn't like and wasn't that happy with......is there a proven i.e. measured bhp increase with the airbox mod?
Is the airbox mod worth doing without changing the filter? Anyone?

Certainly helped mrs Gsi's 2.2... Ripped that bit out about 3 hours after returning with the car from the dealers..
I'm going to have a go this week and take it out and see what difference it makes.
It can only do good in my eyes.
I'm still studying which air filter to buy or play around with my own design, seeing as we make filters here.
wondering if I should mod the box also...still under warranty as well...will vx be happy with this? interested to see if it makes any proven difference....got a K&N still to go in, so might kill 2 birds with 1 stone, so to speak..
iv'e done the irbox mod today and i think it's made a difference albiet small.the car (signum 2.0 t ) seems to run better.i also have the k&n panel filter.you can hear the turbo more and when it dumps the air between gear changes,was'nt expecting that but it's a pleasent sound.one thing i do know is that the plastic funnel in the air box is a pig to remove but worth it.
The airbox mod didn`t make much difference to mine, but when the K&N went in it was a huuuuge difference, i don`t know how much was down to the airbox being done as well ...
well said that man.
