Air intake without a spring-loaded part of the airbox

Post by whsfrancisco »

Hello! :D
The question I am going to ask seems absurd but it is the following, I wanted to know if it is possible to remove the air intake box (leaving the air filters) by removing the tube and the housing?
But there is one thing that prevents me from doing that ... I don't know if it influences the operation of the engine because the exhaust is also connected to the air box. :roll:

The part I want to remove, I don't know why it has a spring and why it separates the "exhaust" and the air intake. How that spring works ahaah?!

If I remove that part, does all the hot air that comes out of the engine return to the air filters? Or did volkswagen kind of created a way to reuse the used gases ? :?
