Hey Gang!
As I have shared, I'm having a 2056 built for my 914, bumping up from the 1.8. For this build, I upgraded to new casting 2.0L heads (stock 2.0 valve sizes), and the larger 'gowesty' throttle body. - With the larger displacement, the larger valves, and the larger throttle body? - Do I need to be concerned with the size of the intake snorkel from the 1.8 air cleaner? - If I were to consider enlarging the diameter of the air intake snorkel, do I need to consider the shape (tapered from smaller 40mm opening up too 63.5/64mm at the air box? Maybe I'm over thinking all of this and the impact would be negligible for daily driving/spirited back roads? The intake snorkel is circled in red below:  Thanks, Ted |
