If its "twisted air" you want, stick to the turbo charger. Air going through a propeller moving at up to 20,000 RPM is more twisted then any tornado can do. In...
<SNIP>K&N is only worth it if you value the messy and timing consuming experience of cleaning and reoiling the filter at $0. It will likely show no change in...
Do the 2002 Golf TDI's still have a snow screen? When I was playing around with the $0.02 Mod, I pulled the air filter out (just for fun), and tracing the...
Damn...every 30,000 miles...I'm pretty lazy. It's in there for 50,000 miles, and I still see spots of red. My advice...save the paper filter. Use that while...
Hi all Thanks to 'Paul Resch' for sensible reply. As far as I can ascertain: 1 gallon(Imp) of water = 10 lbs(Imp) (approx) 1 gallon(US) of water = 8.345404...
Just keep an old paper filter around. For the 24-48 hours your car is sitting there without a filter, as you wait for the K&N to dry. While your talking about...
You're lucky to live in a place where the fuel gets pumped by others. In the USA, only NJ (I grew up there, state bird is the mosquito) and the Peoples ...

I've driven many thousand miles with ticky lifters (not on my TDI but other VWAG cars) and seen no ill effects. Worst case, if one collapses, the car will...
