I have been told that you can get a good noise out of the traditional airfilter by drilling the Airbox with holes. Has anyone done this and what doese it sound like? any pictures and coments would be good. and if you have a sound clip of what it sounds like. Cheers!

Can anyone confirm if the Leon Mk1 airbox is the same size on all TDI engines, or does it differ depending on what the output is? All advice welcome Dave
