Title: Intake upgrade worthwhile?
Post by: MadCityMike on May 17, 2006, 10:01:06 pm
Just wondering if the stock airbox & filter on a 94 AAZ equiped Jetta is decent, or would an upgrade be worthwhile?   I've seen the swiss cheese mods, but that still utilizes the same sized filter.    I'm not a fan of K&N type filters either.  I just upgraded the box in my 7.3L Powerstroke truck and wow did that make a difference in lowering EGT temps and quicker turbo spool up.   So I now have a perfectly fine stock airbox designed for a 7.3L that I was considering swapping into the Jetta.   I would think it would flow better then the stock one, but if the stock one flows enough that an upgrade isn't worthwhile then I won't bother.    Should I do it?
