Hey guys I've seen how a few of you guys have your passenger head light cut out to direct hore air to the filter, how is it done? I was gonna just go at it but instead of ruining my headlight I thought I would ask here first and hopefully get an answer from someone that knows what they are doing lol.

 

hey, a guy that works at the Brooksville Autozone has it done on his 1G TSi. I think his name is Jeremy. Thats about all the help i can give on that subject.

 

Alright thanks Vic, maybe I will go up there and ask him...

 

Its not exactly rocket science, you can either cut off that whole section in front of the headlight, or use a cutoff wheel and cut out that section.. i have one laying around if your interested in it.

 

I have been contemplating doing the same thing to mine... But if you know how I am I have to have a back up before I go and f something up..

 

Check out arctic-racing.com and Im pretty sure he has it in his mod history. If anything just browse his site, its everything I want my 1g to be and will be hopefully by the end of summer.

 

Yea I mean I see where people cut them out and everything I am just wondering what tool people use, maybe use masking tape to prevent spurs??? stuff like that.. little tips that might help

 

I think masking tape should work. If you taped it off, outlined it, then used a cutting wheel with a dremel or something. Afterwards you could look into getting a little air duct to put over it. (Like a little piece of rubber so it looks clean)

 

Yea I was thinking maybe masking it then using a skil saw to cut it out... I dunno though. I am probably gonna make a direct like air duct so to say out of aluminum (since I do aluminum gutters for a living I have all the tools and aluminum to do stuff like that)

 

maybe a holesaw instead of free hand.

On my 2G, I removed the passenger side headlight anytime I went to the track. Its not too hard to take off or put on, but there is one bolt that is a huge pain to get to, I took it out once and never put that bolt back in.
