    Lightbulb Hole in standard airbox.

    If I was to cut a hole, the size of my fist in the bottom of the standard airbox on the VY L67 (the one with the stock growler looking thing) would it improve induction.?

    I would obviously cover it with some sort of flyscreen for bugs and other objects to stay out. would it cause the sensor to give error codes?

    cheers guys, soo bored right now

    found this photo on the L67 forum on L67torque.

    Would it improve anything or just wank factor?

    I wouldn't bother there will probably be no noticable improvement. If you want to cool the intake air from what I have read your far better off with an insulating spacer between the manifold and plenum, not sure how that works on a super charged motor though, you could check out the Mace website.

    Be careful doing that mod, if you get traction, you may reverse the rotation of the earth

    Two hole mod anyone? It's been talked about heaps in various form - those that do it swear by it, that's called "Cognitive Dissonance"

    Yep, I believe that’s what causes the placebo effect why people think their car is actually faster from the mod.
