First of all what does it mean as twin intake here, twin intake means you have two source of intake, so this means you get more air for your engine.
I am sure that MK4 owners know that our air intake system already has some sort of Cold air induction pipe, it goes behind the headlights but the air flow is very limited. This is why people say they get more power from aftermarket systems as well, it's not because the air is cooler is actually that they get more air, they get more air because the intake tubing is much thicker. So what I'm planning to do is to plug a secondary air intake pipe to the factory air box, most likely the bottom of the air box.
The advantage of this DIY twin intake is that it will never hydrolock unless you drive into bow river, because if one intake is blocked with water, the engine will suck air only from the other pipe as it has much less resistance. The second advantage is that you could possibly get more air flow than any aftermarket system. Last advantage is that is could be a very cheap mod. The only disadvantage I could think of is that it might look ugly...
I need suggestions on what pipe I should use, flexible pipes for gardening? And where I should position the intake pipe, maybe behind the bumper like the aftermarket systems?
