[QUOTE="who444444, post: 110640, member: 3381"] Well that flat spot just off idle bugged me too much as I don't like having to slip the clutch to take off so.... I already had bought the glacier bay grab bars from home depot per canukxxxx setup and probably someone else's also, ( really a lot of threads to sort through ). So I decided to make up another set of runners combining more than one idea. I had an extra set of stock honda intake elbows so I cut them just above the bolt ears and mated them to the grab bars. I'm doing one at a time so I can make them up to an already mounted intake. This will ensure an exact fit from head to vw plenum. The main difference from my first setup is I'm going to insert 1 inch schedule 40 electrical pvc conduit inside the grab bar from vw outlet to just before 90 of grab bar. This will make it like dan's 1 inch runners and also will allow me to easily remove the pvc to check other options. I left ears on grab bar flange and used quicksteel to seal grab bar to honda flange. A little heat on the pvc allowed me to insert the pvc into vw plenum and also allowed me to flair the other end for smooth transition to grab bar before 90. I also beveled the pvc to paper thin at ends so there won't be a lip for fuel mix to hit.We will see if this setup gets rid of flat spot off of idle. I'm kinda doing one runner a day so it might be a little while before I check in with an update. So a little bit of joe's choke and a little bit of dan's 1 inch runners and canuckxxxx grab bar and mix it all together. I hope this makes a little sense as when I read it back to myself it seems confusing. Just have one runner done so far and following are 2 pics showing what I'm rambling about. pic is of the runner that has the offset. 1 more like that and 2 that are straight shots, but this does get rid of the s bend in the other setup. Still no welding involved and anyone can do this. We will see if it works better or not. dave [/QUOTE]
