You are really putting together a very nice MY85'
Good work Mike, Im gonna be sticking with my RadCov'r for some time as I don't really see much ever coming up for the S3 that is both cost effective and right off the shelf (I have A/C etc...) but I really like the look of the lunchbox replacement.
Greg, your gonna love the fuel chip, the mid range torque (where most driving is done) is extremely fun. Its almost like a kid poking you to open it up all the time! good stuff!

Your '85 is lookin pretty damn nice also. I was also thinking about the RadCov'r. I want to do one "upgrade" at a time to get the full effect of the mod. And from what you and Mike report I am looking forward to the chips.
What would we '85 '86ers do with out Porken?

Hey, where to get those
Well it's almost ready. I got a snorkel intake from Tony (Toofast928, thanks Tony) a couple of months ago and I've been trying to get it to fit properly and work with my idea for a MAF splitter.
The Snorkel intake is designed and built by Kuhn Performance and it's supposed to be for the S4s. Tony had modified an S4 upper fan shroud to work with his application and I began with that.
The original setup was too long and was hitting the hood when it was closed. It was also not quite sealed around the ends of the tubes. I cut off about 3/8", modified the upper shroud, and added a spacer to make sure the tubes don't collapse, then I added some sealer and screws in order to make it air tight. The shortened tubes clear the hood also.
What do you think?
