Bad Hombre No, there will be no benefit, neither in performance nor sound. The only thing this accomplishes is increasing the amount of water and larger debris going into your filter with out any benefits
An App like Torque can show the difference before-after the modification,olny this way can find if there is a benefit (for example lower intake temperature).
all aftermarket intake boxes are made this way both 2 holes are open even the passenger side are blocked of so no air flow to engine... its actually better then aftermarket and it gives a bit more air and the stock box is not flowing any worse then aftermarket it just needs a intake pipe and its money
Always appreciate educating my stupidity as I did not know the MK 7.5 had a 2nd vent on right side. Where as I drilled 3 rows of holes MK 7 and of course the airbox portion.
I bought my mark7 used man and that air box cover is broken so all the air just goes straight in lmao, is that bad? Should I buy the cover for 40bucks on ecs? Appreciate any feedback brother@@LastHumansGarage
On the MK7, with the hood closed, there is no 'direct' air feed into that side, foesnt have the vents like yours on the driver side, only the passenger side. I suupose doing to mk7bis just a waste of time with no difference?
Haven't watched any of your videos in a while, you were in a MK6 GTI, then a Subaru and now back to a MK7 GTI it seems? Just curious what made you switch back from a Subaru, just curious.
The only thing I noticed is that the inlet temp is 2 degrees colder over all and the oil is 3-4 degrees colder. But removing the snow guard inside the airbox gave better spool and flow..
@@LastHumansGarage almost did it about a year ago but I do drive in quite a bit or rain. This mod seems safer but if there isnt a difference I wont take the risk
Air is air it’s going to come in the only two places where there’s real restriction is the filter and the inlet elbow at the turbo I think the rest of this is a waste of time. Good video though thanks.
What r you talking about, over 100 km/h the wind hits with enough force to to make the water going in more like spray, and with the intake sucking like a vacuum, it will suck in all of the water no matter where you place those holes...
The r600 plugs the hole going to the engine (passenger side) and is wide open just in front of the air filter. I don't see any difference between this DIY and the r600, oh no I'm wrong there is $ 400. Good job man!
I believe this is a complete waste of time. The stock set up will give the engine all the air it needs. Question you should ask yourself is why VW engineers sealed this off to begin with? Are you smarter than the engineers? But interesting video nonetheless although misguided IMHO.
Actually.. logs have sown colder air.. it would be better if I sealed off the passenger side exposed to engine. but you are welcome to your opinion like anyone else.
Car engineers have many variables to deal with. One example would be noise emissions. You'll see lots of modern cars/bikes have odd shaped filter boxes and oddly attached reservoirs - majority of this is to reduce induction noise. I'm not saying this car's intake duct is sealed off for noise reasons, but are the engineers smarter than me or you or anyone isn't the question to be asking - it's to find out why it was put there.
@Bob Did it OK, so let we think... the whole front part in this case is something like system of conected wessels. The presure of ram air is the same on both sides (left and right) The extra holes on the right side makes no sense due the whole pressure of ram air goes under the bonnet via the gap on the left side... no cold air come thru the holes to the airbox, the holes just equalise the pressure on the duct wich coming thru from the left side, the flow of fresh air slows down ... Itś all physics in this case Bernoulli's equation...
Hey, glad to see you also going this route but just a pointer have a look at this part it's used to close off the left side vent to the engine and helps with more air to the intake. Rear air intake trim plate Part# 5Q0129849
Try little test...cutup some dry sponges to fit in those blocked off openings drive around when it's raining and see what happens...wet sponges probably and ask yourself where would that water have gone if those blocked openings were opened up. The block off plastic piece for the air inlet on the right hand side is the only mod I'd do as it's a "factory part" which I believe you've already done. Above all IF you have done this mod being discussed here I hope you're not still using a stock "paper filter"...it will get destroyed
@@LastHumansGarage ...I'm back, just a thought why. not drill some smaller holes on the bottom of that modified air inlet? I figure when your in a downpour and water collects below the large holes you drilled if you had smaller holes on the bottom plastic air pressure should push the water down the smaller hole and the path of least resistance (big holes) would still allow air flow. That's IF you're worried about water into the filter box or have you noticed everything being good the way it is?
Brother, nicely executed, indeed a reasonable compromise in between improved breathing and risk of water ingression. I have another mod you may like, which is less well known in the GTI world. Check you inbox ;-)
@@LastHumansGarage It's additional air going into your airfilter. The stock pass-through into the engine bay is not needed for engine cooling. It's like the snow-gird at the bottom of the airfilter housing.. Of course, if you plan to swap it for the WRX you can ignore it... ;-)

Have had mine opened up completely since 2015 with no problems
Private Eyes no, nobody would be able to feel a difference. Too minimal.
correct
if there's no noticeable difference then is it really even worth it? (srs question)

Since modification, have you'd any water going into the filter box or turbo inlet by washing your vehicle or rain?

cool man,
Good tip thinking about driving in the wet. Great video as always 🤙
Thanks 👍
Thanks for this video ! Done this yesterday ! Its perfect
TIGHT
Really good job, gotta get myself a christmas tree bit!
i have two brands. everyone needs at least 1 in their arsenal. my gold one will cut metal as easily as the plastic.
LastHumansGarage what brand Xmas tree but is that, I just have a cheap harbor freight one.
LOL It's called a "Unibit"
I might even drill 1 size bigger holes, not sure...
nah

dremel the vent as well

dont remember, i dont even have this gti anymore.
Do you notice a difference in driving? Thanks!
i wont be driving for a few more weeks.

Are you using the stock air filter?
naw i got a afe dry drop in and removed snow grate. intakes are useless on this car except for noise.
Have you noticed a difference?
naw

yoyomama!
Thx for ultimate enlightment!
Have you noticed any difference? Not cool to drill holes without giving feedback on what you have experienced.
lol. its killer.
das muss man komplett auf machen , so ist das zu wenig
It’s not a Christmas tree bit. It’s a step drill bit!!

it would have gone to the bottom of the airbox, and then out the airbox drain hose like its supposed to..
