anyone have an idea?

[DubwayDan]

just seen this on golfmkv.com and was wondering what is the point in removing the insulation?

is it supposed to make the supercharger noise louder?

ive just asked :)

go for it dan, more noise and less heat id think,

I doubt the claims of extra power are founded. As soon as it was up to temperature there would be no advantage as it would still reach the same operating temperature!

It would definitely give a little extra whine though, but a supercharger whine isn't the nicest sound IMHO.

thanks guys, any extra supercharger noise is a plus for me 

drown out the sound of those noisy injectors..

cheers for the replys

How did you come to aquire it Joe?

less retained heat in the supercharger = lower intake temps.

Less insulation also means = Supercharger WHINE!!!!

Dan,

I have this too...

I'm assuming you mean the insulation under the bonnet ???  There other places that arent easy to take out


I'm tempted to take the bonnet insulation out now

[DubwayDan]

i shall be doing this at the weekend if i can borrow a ramp 

richi- it is the insulation covering the supercharger right down the back of the engine, not the insulation on the underside of the bonnet
