B7 125TDI Passat budget CAI for under $60

I always wanted a CAI for the Passat but no off-the-shelf intake that would fit, plenty around for the Mk5/6 Golf, the price for a intake ranging from $300-$600, so I got creative over the last few days, all for under $60!

Generic carbon intake off eBay for $33 shipped, 3" silicone couplings from SCA for $22, Bunnings stormwater downpipe $2.50, some household plastics and araldite glue. I don't care how it looks as long as it works, I know the white doesn't match the engine bay.

Hey 9090GO

what changes did you notice after this mod?

Hi 9090GO, do you still have the top cover of the original intake with all its clips in place and are you interested in parting with it?

I am interested in this as well what sort of performance change has it had, has it not increased your fuel usage though??
