Months in the making im finally buttoning this project up. Last final questions i have is
1. I have a spin filter and housing from a rabbit i want to use but cannot manage to find a good spot to put it...
2. Do cone filters flow as good as a the stock airbox this thing is a big bulky pain in the ass to remove and install..

1.) make a bracket, it fits nicely in the same spot the rabbit filter fits..
2.) sure they flow as good, but you have to clean them 3x as often, being that there is no protection around them AKA AIRBOX..
my GLI has the charcoal canister taken out of the pass side fenderwell, and my intake piping runs thru that hole, and my air cleaner is down in the fender, kinda down by the power steering pump.. actually, the end of the filter is only about 1" away from the p/s pulley.
and uh, mk2 air boxes are CAKE to remove and install.. try removing the air box out of an audi 4k/quattro, then ell me the mk2 is hard?
if you have a TD air box, i would run it.. ive been looking for AGES to get a real mk2 TD air box.. would love to get rid of my intake system..

That's a MK1 engine bay isn't it?
Are we talking about MK2 fuel filter placement?
Because i think mine fits right behind the stock TD airbox, on the strut tower.

yes mk2. i thought about using stock location but seemed it sticks up to high to close the hood.

If you have: a drill, a piece of sheet metal, MK1 filter, MK1 bracket, an imagination, and just a bit of intelligence it is possible.

Is the stop solenoid getting power? There should be very little fuel actually coming out of the injector lines, it needs a few cycles to produce even a small drop of fuel out of the delivery valves.
