What exactly is the benefit here
Why is the left side of this box that leads to the air filter so open? I'm no mechanic, but would there be any benefit or downside to partially block some of that openness to have more of the air from the grille pushed through to the air filter?
On the 26 GLI, the air comes in from the passenger side of the grille since the drivers side is blocked off, and with that, it would seem that in order for air to make it to the air filter, only what doesn't shoot straight in through the gap, then turns right, then down, then up again actually makes it to the air filter, and then turbo..
