A question to all Tiico converts. Has everyone used the intake snorkel
that is in the kit or have some left it off? If left off is there any
real difference in the cabin noise? The snorkel looks awfully restrictive
to me and to put it on there would detract from one of the main reasons
for doing the conversion: More power.  Has anyone sourced a K+N filter?

 I have finally finished cleaning the engine compartment of an eighth of
an inch of  auto tranny fluid sludge and will hopefully be bolting my
engine in this weekend.. I can't wait to fire her up.

I have not seen any Tiico posts in a while. How is everyone doing with
their's?

Has anyone made any progress in terms of the California registration
issue? Was it determined to not be an issue? I will be moving back to
Tahoe in the spring so this is of great interest.... the referee is going
to love me. I will be bringing my 85 Westy with the new conversion, as
well as, my 83 Rabbit GTI with an 87 Scirocco 16 Valve in it.

Thanks.

Tim
