The next level. find 220/300bar injectors, replace the nozzles with 0.230 and put an ASZ turbo. custom remap and yes clutch 240mm. for full potential. and it will be a flying bug with very little fuel consumption
That opening for the air intake snorkel you deleted: The R32, and the "V6" (aka also VR6) Audi TTs had that larger opening, with a corresponding larger diameter snorkel. Of course, all those parts: No Longer Available from the dealers, so it's used part sources, only. So, IMO, you're just mimicking that much larger filter-box to air-snorkel hole those performance models had. And: glad to hear it improves things! Might be worthwhile not picking up hot engine bay air by DIY'ing your own larger snorkel to pick up air from the outside, like stock so you're actually getting colder/denser air in, which'd help with power and efficiency, both. I've only owned Jettas TDIs, so I'm not familiar with the cramped nature of the Beetle engine bay, other than looking at salvage cars and fixing a friend's Beetle 2.slow radiator fan. The Golf/Jetta both pick up air up front at the highest pressure point just below the start of the hood. I was familiar with most of your previous mechanical mods, but the air snorkel/airfilter/intake pre-turbo I hadn't really heard as much about. I'm gonna go look at the Beetle's snorkel pre-filter box now and compare to what the other mk4 cars use. I've been planning to source out the larger OE parts from the R32/TT so I could 3d-scan them, and replicate the larger opening, the larger pre-filter air snorkel parts, and the larger MAF housing opening and Now, a question or two: Did you need to turn the ECU any for the larger/less restrictive intake? Or, does the MAF housing kept the same size keep the ECU thinking that not enough has changed?
oops, I see I left a thought unfinished: Re: 3D-scanning: I'd like to - get ahold of all those larger R32/"V6" TT intake parts - 3D-scan the different openings and larger diameter air pipes - 3D-print the different openings to retrofit our normie-sized air boxes or - Make templates to enlarge openings accurately across the "fleet" of mk4 cars I have This idea/approach is due to me having a handful of TDI mk4 cars in the yard. Buying up all the larger than BEW "rare"/now-outta-production air intake parts for five cars would be prohibitively expensive. Plastic-welding/bonding an "exact" copy is more up my alley, both budget and DIY-ethos wise.
I see what your saying there are many 1.8t and vr6s in junk yards where you can get them very cheap I was given the advice to remove the snorkel by a rep at kermatdi.com and if anyone knows vw diesels it's those guys plus removing it will get you some induction noise if that's something you like
As far as the ecu a tune with always get every last drop of power out now is it required for this modification no in fact my car is still on the stock tune with everything I've done to it
@@gearhead4266 I have a 170,000k 2001 beetle ALH. BRM intake - Malone adapter - EGR/ASV. I gutted the cat but left it on. Stage 1 EGR delete, snow screen removed, and now looking for a BEW intake pipe. I have the lift pump but haven't installed it and also looking to remove the EGR cooler.
i just added an 11mm pump to mine and holy crap
I dont have a welder, vcds, or a lot of knowledge but thanks bro, still ideas.
Excellent tips. Thank you.

Great video man

I'm glad to hear they made it larger but it is still a restriction

I need that 11mm pump for my golf
Looking for Inturnel parts for the fuel injection pump
You need a stage 1 tune with egr delete
Only if you want the check engine light off

Do you have a link to get the BEW intake tube?
whats that metal piece that is in place of the pcv? is that a separator?
It's from kermatdi.com it's called the "puck" and yes it's a oil separator
