When you going to force some air down that thing's throat?

LOS · « **Reply #2 on:** May 28, 2009, 08:07:24 AM »

LOL, I think he is going the vortex route

Take that engine cover off and polish the whole manny Oliver.
Also, Drill some holes in that air box and throw a k&N in there. You will love the sound till the blower apperati gets strapped on. If you want I have one w/ holes drilled and a k&n filter that I can sell ya. Let me know.

I'll polish the center later, going to hunt a metal valve cover in the local yard. The air box has a k&n panel filter and I still have the old k&n cone filter from my Corrado but I'm not sure I want to put it in there. The clone manifold definitely made a difference and I feel that I don't have to put in a cone filter.

Definitely V1 later down the road but not this year.

Oh where do I drill the holes? bottom of the box?, on my old 1.8t I cut hald of the bottom of the airbox

Yeah... there is a hole where the silencer plugs in... swiss-cheese that panel, or do like me, and just cut it out completely....

I love cutting stuff

, man since I bought a buff wheel for my desk grinder I've been looking around for parts to polish lol..

I guess something like this, it's a mk2 but you get the idea. No worries when you pop the hood

LOS · « **Reply #8 on:** May 28, 2009, 10:26:19 AM »

Yeah thats kinda what Im going for... I just need to polish my metal valve cover.

And no sales pitch, I was trying to help him out. Besides its just layin around my house.

Guess the iPhone didn't recognize VORTECH... it corrected it so shut it.
However i bought my Vortech on Vortex so I can call it whatever I want. I can call it a Barry since it just blows a bunch of hot air and makes alot of squeaky noises. Or what that be a Matt? LOL

LOS · « **Reply #14 on:** June 02, 2009, 10:10:07 AM »

Lower!

oliver · « **Reply #15 on:** June 04, 2009, 09:48:26 AM »

so wtf is sai incorrect flow detected?... the air vacuum solenoid that feeds to the combi valve is working, sai pump working, relay is ok, carbon canister frequency valve clicks ok... Looks like I need to pull out the combi valve and check the hose and valve itself: FUCK and we know it's a pain in the ass

my fuel gauge also reads 3/4 when i fill it up to full... something about the evap?

Barry · « **Reply #16 on:** June 04, 2009, 11:30:40 AM »

Easy fix Oli - put a 42DD SAI delete plug in, and get put a C2 chip in the gets rid of the CEL

problem solved

LOS · « **Reply #17 on:** June 04, 2009, 12:34:46 PM »

LOL I'm gonna sound like a travelin salesman here but I happen to have a whole sai system I put up for sale on the tex. If you need it let me know. As far as the fuel thing, could be your in tank sensor. Check you connections and your evap hoses and stuff. If not, could be the cluster too I guess

Giggidy · « **Reply #18 on:** June 04, 2009, 12:43:39 PM »

did you smell money in the air?? where's my remote?

oliver · « **Reply #19 on:** June 04, 2009, 01:55:48 PM »

ok readiness all pass... no cel on the gauge cluster actually but thru vagcom there's a fault... I switch the vacuum supply from the manifold to the solenoid that sends signal to the combi valve... it was put on reverse anyway I'll try to smog it and worry about it latter..

I need to make it since my roommate left the country.
And stop buggin me about the fuckin remote.. I threw away the box. I will see if I have it anywhere but if I have it, barry will get it.

Giggidy · « **Reply #21 on:** June 04, 2009, 08:04:08 PM »

I wouldn't have to keep bugging you if you wouldv'e gotten back sooner. And we both know you Carlos, there is no way you threw that box away.

LOS · « **Reply #22 on:** June 05, 2009, 07:24:00 AM »

Instead of telling ken and barry to ask me, have you ever thought to send ME an email or pm? Why would I have any reason to keep it? I dont have a fucking alpine/kenwood stereo... sorry you left it behind, I'll see if I can find it. But I threw a bunch of shit you left behind out. I sent you your damn toothbrush charger right? I'll give you the 10 bucks for a new one if its that big a deal. Jesus.

Giggidy · « **Reply #23 on:** June 05, 2009, 10:48:43 AM »

calm down there Hoss. I just happened to be talking to them at the time so why not just shoot you a text. And I DID leave you a message on FB like 4 days ago. I just didn't want you selling that shit on ebay so I wanted the message to get to you quicker.

LOS · « **Reply #24 on:** June 05, 2009, 01:18:35 PM »

How am I gonna sell it if I dont know where it is? Probably not even worth my time to sell it.
Ive been cleaning and packing shit up myself to get stuff ready to move. Probably lookin at moving out in a month or 2 and renting the whole damn house.
I didn't get a message from you on facebook... you sure you didn't send it to my dad?
