You could use some surge tanks mounted inside the car. My motorcycle has ram air and uses surge tanks to keep rain water out of the airbox. Basicly they work by allowing the air to slow down via an expansion chamber. All you need is a drain to let the dirt and water out of it every once and awhile....;)

That's what i have been thinking of...

For the rain I split the tubing to the enginecompartement in two.. The upper tube goes to the engine, the smaller under tube goes to outside the car an let the rain and other water floud back besides the rearaxle..

I like this one a lot, a little more subtle (not the car ... it's not that subtle :cool: :cool: :cool: ) than some of the other methods. It would take some work, but ...

Cheers!

WOW! I never even thought about a surge tank of any sort that would be a great I dea, but I have to think about where to put it because I'm planing on putting audio components in the back (easily removable, of coarse, for auto-x)so if you guys get any more ideas let me know!
Thanks for the Help!:D

You could always move your fire wall in a few inches to get more space. I move mine in 10" and up 5" in front and 10" in the rear so I can hide the future turbo away from road debris and V-8 owners eyes. You could mount the surge tank in the created space. Besides if you make the fire wall panels removable you can get quick access to your engine and transmission...;)

I've thought about doing that for a while, and keep switching between wether I want to or not:silly:

There was an article in the September 2003 issue of VWtrends thats gave me the idea of doing that.:)

I will have some pictures of my firewall soon, If you want I can post them.:D

Sure.:)

If you do, would you be able to cover the entire fire wall, so I can get a better idea on what I might do?:haveadrin

Sure can do. My car is in 10,000 pieces right now so I can take a picture from any angle.:silly: I just have to finnish up a roll of film and have it developed onto a photo CD.:)

SWEEEEEEET:D

can't wait to see them!

Should have them by Monday.:D :D

Thats great man!!:D

I'd really like to see how you did it, some pics (other than in a magazine) would be nice!:D

Thanx!

Not quite done but you get the idea.
