Slid in the new one and worked like a charm. I'm still a week-10 days out on the finished product as I'm having a custom die made to get a little more efficient flow at the inlet flair coupled with more inlet velocity.
This inlet will have over 500% more length than the stock airbox outlet and all of it a polished, one-piece design for far smoother and higher velocity thru the MAF and into it's sensor wire. And when pushed into the airbox it can either sit flush up against the MAF screen retaining ring or against the MAF screen seat when running without a screen.
First pic is stock 90S airbox lid
90S airbox is almost identical to the A4 airbox so fitment on both cars is a no-tools project. Simply unsnap airbox lid and push in by hand. Additionally there's a wrap of 3M black high-temp vinyl electrical tape around the inlet O.D. where it slips into the airbox outlet to form a vacuum/pressure-tight seal so no air can be sucked from around the flared inlet.
