Be forewarned: unless you got a genuine VW elbow, odds are the new one will fail much sooner than you might expect. The aftermarket ones might as well be made of licorice. I have the collection to prove it.luftvagon wrote:The sad thing is problem gradually became worst. I guess as the engine heats up, and rubber softens up, this thing falls even deeper and obstructs the air.
Also, that obstruction you mention is only going to be an issue during warm-up. The AAR is supposed to be completely closed under normal operating conditions, so the obstruction would only be mimicking the normal operation of the AAR. I suggest you check the operation of your AAR using the excellent guide in the AAR sticky.
My ultimate solution was this: http://www.boostcontroller.com/index.php?category=377. The 0.500 ID part works perfectly with a bit of trimming. The elbow has 10" legs, so there's enough left over from the off-cuts to use in a couple of other locations.luftvagon wrote: I will be soldering a copper 90 joint so that there one less thing to worry about.
