What is everybodys opinion of what to do with the snow screen in alh platforms. I just traded my 02 auto jetta with 173k in for a 03 golf 5 speed with 149k. In my old 02 I cut the screen out and got smoother pick up thru the rpm range. Tonight I changed the fuel filter and the air filter in the 03 golf. I noticed someone had drilled 2 5/8 holes in the air box. It had some nasty looking grit in it and the filter was dirty. I checked the snow screen and it looked like it had never been touched. I took a knife to it. The engine felt like it fell on its face at about 3200 rpm before I serviced it. After it was a hole lot quicker. I think I will tape up the big holes in tthe air box to help to keep it cleaner.
