[QUOTE="Golfer, post: 923188, member: 15668"] Installed the ARC airbox. Pretty simple stuff, the only "real" difficulty, if there was one, was removing the screws that screws the airflow sensor box to the original airbox (which houses the air filter). other than it, everything else was pretty much unscrew here and there, remove this and that and then install on new airbox and finally install airbox to airflow piping. The results? MAGNIFICO!!! The sound of volumes and volumes of air being sucked in is magical.. like sucking in air with your mouth and with your teeth clenched.. only with more base. the car reacts much better than before. above 3k rev, you can actually hear more and more air being sucked in by the turbo. i have not checked statistics but i reckon turbo lag is reduced slightly. power delivery is faster and even smoother than before. listening to the sound of air being sucked in and then the release of boost by the BOV and then air sucked in again.... wonderful!! noticed that water temperature fell slightly (low 80s) before, it was around mid to high 90s. don't know if this is weather related, cause its getting cooler at nights now. EE9 - does your aftermarket filter give you a nice sound when you rev the car? the car is even more fund to drive now. The only thing I am not certain is the sound that the filter makes after you release the accelerator to shit gears at high revs. it makes a funny sound, i am not sure what the cause of the sound is, however, i suspect its got something to do with plenty of air going in and suddenly stopping. any ideas??
