  • 1.8T Cleaning up the engine bay

    So has anyone on here removed the SAI, N249, PCV, EVAP. Im thinking of cleaning up the bay for spring. Any input would be appreciated.

    In reference to this vwvortex diy http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=3111538

    I have not, a few guys have on vortex and it would prob be a good thing to ask them since all the parts that came with the car are in a sense necessary but can be tweaked.

    I would love to do that to my car as well...but make sure in order for a cleaner looking bay that you will need to put in alot of work into it.

    Its worth it in the end tho imo.

      thanks, i know we don't have any law on emissions in alberta so with regards to that part should be alright to do. Im also flashed with Revo so I should be able to take care of codes easily regardless (after further reading simple ecu flashes do not get rid of cels, you'd need to have a BT file loaded).

          I did it on my old car and didn't see any advantage, maybe was surprised to find a lot of gunk in there when taking things apart.

          Probably wouldn't do it unless you are on a BT setup or something.
