Default Cold Air Ports?

I was just helping my buddy work on his TT and now that he has the headlight washers out I notice you might be able to run a hose to each of them to provide cold air to the intake. Ne one ever try this?

Default Won't work....

Not without cutting a bunch of structural plastic under the headlight. If this was possible it would have been done YEARS ago. I wouldn't do it.

Just remove the gasket between the hood and firewall for an 18 degree reduction in engine bay temps..With a P-Flow, you NEED it!....:-)<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/1574191.phtml">Cheap and easy</a></li></ul>

Default Where is this gasket?

Between the hood and firewall? My car gets really hot I need to cool it down. BTW just bought a pressure tester! I can run that with the boost machine still installed right?

and yes, the BM has no impact on a pressure test.
