Euro Sport is the only tuner that I know of that has a cold air intake
for Motronic 16V's.

You may get the same results with a fully modified factory air box.
There's really not much room to run any hoses to a well placed scoop,
unless you're willing to give up one of the passenger side headlights.
I have considered putting a NACA duct in the passenger side front
fender right next to the airbox. I modified my airbox by first
removing the Hemholtz resonator, and then using a 2 1/8" hole saw to
cut two overlapping holes in the side of the airbox that faces the
inside of the passenger front fender. I then used a Dremel tool to
finish it into one oblong opening. If there was a NACA duct opposite
that opening, with some sort of seal between the airbox and the duct,
then you would achieve a true cold air intake. As it is, air flow is
much improved, and probably yields the same hp gains as the Euro Sport
setup, plus I think it sounds cool. Not to mention the price, free!

After spending some time with a friend's 16V 'rocco, I would like to
attempt some sort of cold air intake for my 16V Motronic. I have the 4
round headlight setup on the front. Has anyone managed to run duct
work on
an A2 with the 4 round setup to get a steady flow of outside air? If
so,
any tips or, better yet, pictures of your setup?
