Is this something that only applies to the 30v 2.8, or does the 1.8T have it too?

I just popped mine out (rainy day mod) and cant believe how restrictive this thing must be. I thought you had to cut it out, which is why I didnt mess with it before...but it turned out to be a serviceable part held in by just one screw.

Should be interesting to see if it makes a noticeable difference in throttle response.

like pepples, gravel and sand...and also to keep nesting animals out of the airbox (not kidding) if you get a good amount of sand in the airbox chances are it could sandblast a hole in the filter and trash the MAF and all sorts of other parts...turbo etc. Not a wise thing to remove from the airbox...it's there for a good reason.

...which must have made it past the screen.

Even with that prefilter out, I figure its still not quite as extreme as a cone intake.

I'll drive it around for a while to see if I notice any difference, and if I dont it'll probably go back in. I was just wondering if it was in the 1.8T too.

Yes we have it as well...I've found all manner of nasty things in there...cigg butts...leaves etc...

that got past it into the filter side. Fine dust yes but sand or pebbles no.

It was on the inside, past the screen...call it very large dust or fine sand.

Must be the difference tween Texas dust and Pacific NW rain
