Well finally got some of the full 80mm intake kit made this weekend gone. As mentioned before the feed to the air box is increased to 100mm, the air box is further modded removing the bulge on the intake side (there to cover the cross member on other vaux cars) then has an 80mm outlet with spinning (I am looking at making the box out of alloy and retaining oe fitments but not sure it warrants the costs over reworking the original item).

The AMM is housed in the same 80mm alloy pipe and then 80mm to the turbo 90degree silicon reducing elbow back down to 58mm.
This kit will also have the external recirc added but can supply to retain oe recirc setup and / or different size AMM if you wanted to retain the 70mm? (not sure why you would but does need a software tweak to run the larger AMM which I can also do if required)

This current kit is going onto a recent stg4 car so will be good to get feedback and if possible will try to get time to do a before and after RR session



















I will add pictures of the rest of the kit as I get time to finish (be 2 weekends time) as at Donny this one coming

Enjoy

Shiny new parts Looks good

Thanks I have a kit to be made for a vx220 n/a but it feeds a tfsi vag lump lol

[vocky]

why don't you just extend the main alloy intake pipe to include the amm alloy section, thus removing a joint and perhaps cheaper too

Neil very good point, when the pipe was made I was originally using the VXR AMM hence the 2 and AMM work was after. Consider it revised

Better starting making space for a VAG lump then

Ok top of the air box mod almost completed, tooling made for the trumpet and just need to form the trumpet and weld in!!

I need one of those airbox outlets. Would certainly improve my bodged attempt.

[Duncan VXR]

Wait till the sexy trumpet is in and is all stealth black - and my solution for the bottom section Loving having time to start doing custom work again!!!!!!! Hope to have the RR data on the recent stg4 vxt early Jan with this full kit fitted Matt can do just the airbox bits for you if thats what your after DG

[slindborg]

Is it me or does the 'hole' where the sensor goes through look like a turbulence hotspot.... Does the OEM AMM have the same hole? Could you not fill the gap with sillycone or something of a similar nature so that the sensor can be replaced if need be but remove the nasty flow area?

[techieboy]

Would be perfect if you could Duncan. Still struggling to get an airbox back in mine and certainly don't want to strangle the supercharger by not making the most of the pre-SC inlet side of things.

Identical to standard, would take a bit more effort to machine but could remove the gap as such - not sure it will make a much difference based onthe way air flow clings to inside of the tube. Not so keen on filling the hole with sealent as such

Well the tool is made to make future ones and the back section hope to have done this week and then it would be an exchange / or add a new item - so should be no problem sir. Could even wrap it like an xmas present for you

I am a tool

[rob999]

What are the costs then DG?

[Duncan VXR]

If you have to ask you can't afford it lol I am awaiting confirmation of silicon hose prices / recirc valve & clips etc etc so I can work it out tbh. Also this one has taken a lot of time due to making tools for making further ones and need to see how long it takes once at this point (which would be a lot quicker) so cant really cost it on the time I have spent on this one If there is enough interest would try to work it a bit further and do a group buy could get a batch made for xmas if required??? Also depends if you want the FULL 80mm intake kit including external recirc valve, uprate turbo recirc or just the 80mm intake bit I have an idea of cost but do need to check hence not stating yet, just been getting my finger out my butt and making it DG

[rob999]

About bloody time too!! Okay pm me an approximate price please Senor Slacker!!!

[Corey]

I'd be up for a group buy! The whole lot really, from turbo to air box depending on price obviously but I'm in no rush

[MrSimba]

I need one of those airbox outlets.

Me too please DG!
