Fitting RS2 airbox on ABY

[Pete_RS2]

I've just taken out the existing ABY airbox and have realised that the hole in this plastic shield which locates the inlet trumpet on the airbox is much too small for the RS2 airbox. I guess this shield must be different for the RS2. What have other people done ? Bought the RS2 shield ?

Bodge it?

[Sidspud]

Remove it completely?

[Pete_RS2]

Is it wise to do that ? You'd have to leave off the one which covers the back of the headlamp then as it slides into this one...

[Greg_S]

or you could just use a hacksaw blade and cut the whole to suit the Diameter of the RS2 one, file the rough edge smooth and hey presto.

Cheers Paul How much are they ?

Do you know how much bhp the RS2 box adds ?

[Martynf]

A whopping £4.30+vat Peter (on behalf of Paul).

How much BHP? if you're using Optimax like Paul, he saw an extra 23 HP with this and the modified K+N he got from Doug.

Thats a substancial rise from 'standard' then..... Normally the vw lads rave about k&n's but just change the airbox on ours and thats brill.....
