    VWvortex Project Car Week: Project 24V GLI Part IV - Bolt-ons

    It won't just be this one article either, Cherise is a slave driver.

    There are 4 more in the works and I am working on adding a 5th. Fun stuff to come.

    On a naturally aspirated car I believe a CAI has it's benefits, though the effect by itself wouldn't be all that noticeable. It needs the other mods to work with. Seeing as you have a newer GLI with a 1.8T that is a different story. Your turbo is already pulling more air into your motor so you can't really force more into the turbo.

    Which one of those covers the custom turbo system we're putting together for you?
