i was messing with my PCV system today and relized that at full throttle you are sucking in alot of nasty fumes not helping your engine. now the cool thing about the A2 is that it doesn't get sniffed so emmissions don't really matter, since the PCV system puts the gases before the throttle body it will be easier to either divert it or get a breather filter and stick it on the end of the PCV valve. then pluging up the hole to the throttle body and restoring vaccum. so you are still getting rid of that nasty air, you stop any oil blow by and getting your throttle body all nasty and you might grab some power at full throttle. and this might make your engine run better because it is pulling in all fresh air.

I dunno dude.... I think this is one hose you should leave alone... I think it's pretty safe to say you are only gonna get like 1hp at full throttle from this... This oily crap lubricates the valves and throttlebody believe it or not... Also, I have found that because the entire inside of the intake manifold and throttle body become oily like this, it also traps dirt and dust and crap that happens to get by the air filter... Which makes it very easy to clean out...
I dunno. Just my opinion.

You could coil up a copper tube and fill it with freon, that would cool down the air... ill post some numbers if you want.

And you have to run a compressor to compress that refrigerant at a cost of 20-30hp off the crank.
