Re: [gti-vr6] AIRBATH SYSTEM

Hmm ... I am a bit confused ...

I thought the Airbath system works for routing cold air from the front
spolier to the filter , that is, a ram-air / cold air effect.  I believe
that would work and would create real HP.

However, I don't think this effect can be done on the dyno, where the car is
stationary.
