Something I've been meaning to ask for ages. What's the point of the air intake pipes that lead into the wings on the NA?

 

On the turbo, these downpipes, off the main air intake pipes, lead to the dump valves. I would have expected bunged pipes on the NA, but instead you get this complicated (and from what I can see is pointless) mess of plastic that goes off into the wing.

 

I don't plant to use these i my rebuild, I plan to just bung the holes, unless someone tells me otherwise.

The TT has them as well but most have been pulled out. It's been so long since I removed mine that I've forgotten what they did..lol

I see, so I assume you've bunged up your holes?

If it's what I think it is they inject air into the exhaust to help with emissions.

 

Here's a guide to junking it

That's the AIV's bud. The ones im on about were plastic oval shaped vents. I think they came from the airbox and ran to the wings. I junked mine when i fitted the apexi.

There's a section on Robot's wiki page about these. he couldn't figure out what they were for either and just speculated. Then he removed them to fit a JWT.

You have the AIV's and the Air resevoir tanks for the manual clutch booster in the inner wings.
