This is the intake I built for my 97 golf. It made made a significant increase in power and reduced egts.

its obviously low mounted..
or photo shopped..
idk how well it would flow either..
mk3 intakes are known to be quite restrictive..

Would you mind going a little (lot) more into the "I made it" part? Scavenged some parts off something else. Looks cool. Details please.

Looks like a mix of ABA intake manifold and the original AAZ

So it goes from a single plenum, to short runners, to small plenum and back to short runners? How do you know it made an increase in power? Dyno results? Props for trying something new.

That looks like a mess. The original remnant of the AAZ manifold plenum would cause turbulence from the ABA manifold part, eliminating any add on benefit to the MK3 ABA manifold. It would be better if the runners just fed into the head instead of going into another plenum. If the dyno/test numbers prove me otherwise, however, then okay. Still skeptical.

The intake just fits under the hood. It is mainly ABA 2.0 intake with most of its holes welded up. I ran it with a schwitzer s1b turbo that was low hung. I drove with this setup for 2 years but never put it on a dyno. The main benefit that i found was a reduction in smoke, reduced egts and the car would not bog as much before it hit boost. Towing up hills the car would never go above 1200F.

guarantee if you would have used just the ABA manifold, with a different flange welded on, it would have been much better than scabbing a whole intake manifold onto the side of the stock plenum..
congrats for building something different, but i think it could have been gone about ENTIRELY different..
