thats the problem with vag scene stuff have to modify the crash bar. think of the safety? have you told insurance company you have to mod crash bar? id imagine it will put premiums up a lot.

Todays work then..... front mount fitting


Decided to modify my crash bar to allow better flow, no point it being blocked off, and the bar has retained its strength as ive only cut a window out



comparison


in bits...







GTF sidemount


and on


and modified bumper


Plate will hide the holes day to day but good to take off for track etc for better cooling.
Drove home and car induction sounds deeper, seems to pull better lower down in higher gears but is probably just my imagination. Lag over old shitmount is minimal, 500revs tops id say, overall very impressed with the quality. Full turbo back system next, then hybrid turbo then put all my other goodies on and get it mapped
