Not at all, the airbox is sealed and also has a drain just in case. ;-)

The trumpets go through the bulkhead into an airbox, a wheezy old 1.9 8v just wouldn't cut it, not by a long shot!

[Dave106Rallye]

No, i'm not stupid enough to put a mount on upside down... the exhaust sounds just fine... not that you can hear it for the induction noise...

[Dave106Rallye]

yup.

Nice job! ;)

Arent you afraid of rain/water coming in from the bulkhead? VERY nice car btw ;)

[olieryan]

close fit with those tb's! you really could do with a gti 1.9 engine with twin 45 webers ;)

@Dave106Rallye was the gearbox mount upside down making the exuast being a pain in the ass. lol

[djbazzmaster]

i hear leaks : )? water?

[antonyr123]

@Dave106Rallye Yea, The engine is very stiff so i know there pressure on the mounts.

I heard u can fit a 16V engine to a older S1 without cutting out the inner wing and welding a S2 mount in place. Any ideas ?
