Re: vararam vr-1b system??? (SPOOKY7640)
I have the Vararam on my car and I like it. I believe that it has given me a nice performance boost. But I doubt very seroiusly if it has give me 40 more HP, IMHO it is a worth while mod. :cheers:

Does anyone run their car in the rain or through puddles with the vara ram. I heard they may stall the car because they are susesible to taking in water.

Vararam is the best at getting cold air into the intake. 40HP worth? No way. But enough to make it worthwhile. Just have to use common sense when it comes to deep water ... stay away from it!!!

It's not as bad as the bottom breathers but the risk exists.
I've been hearing talk about vapor lock being an issue with the Vararam, though. :confused:

Re: vararam vr-1b system??? (SPOOKY7640)
I think their claimed horsepower rating comes from the old saying ".1 seconds = 10 hp". I have one and picked up over .3 in the quarter. In theory, thats like having "30" extra hp, supposedly. You gotta remember that it is designed to make even more power at speads over 65 mph.
Great system though. Woke my A4s second gear up.

90 Droptop, Did you gain 3mph on the H/C package or was it the stock internals. Thanks in advance for your reply. John :seeya
