[urq] How to quiet an EFIed 20V?

[Chris Miller]

Is the stock urq airbox restrictive at the typical chipped 20vt levels (say
270 hp)?  I'm hoping to combine the stock urq lower airbox with the airbox
from my 7a coupe quattro, if there is room.
Has anyone tried to fit an early S2 airbox without much inner fender
manipulation?
Chris

Yeah.  Go back to OEM airbox and get rid of the dingy K&N junk.
