I've been looking at parts for a 5 speed swap. I see notes that say 1.9 OMI or FWD OMI. What is the acronym trying to convey?
OMI meaning in Car-part listing

Weird... Here, OMI means Old Man Intake and it has ZERO to do with a 5 speed swap
Not a clue what they are saying

These notes were on car-part so probably not old man intake.

That is the VW code for the O1M 4 speed automatic transmission in the mk4's?(among other VW's also)

Behold, the newest version of the legendary "Oldman" intake pipe.
If you look at your intake pipe from the airbox to the turbo, you'll see it's a twisted mess. This is not the best for flow.
This OMI intake pipe streamlines this twisted plastic mess that came from the factory and give the intake a tough sound to boot.
The benefits:

The benefits:
- Retains the factory accordion hose to allow movement of the engine which differs from the movement of the air intake system.
- Gets rid of the unnecessary CCV heater and connects to the CCV puck in its current position.
- Easy install with some room to manipulate it for desired fitment.

LOL like I said in that other thread, 17 years is a long time to be on a forum. I'm sure there is a long long list of stuff that could be mentioned that only old timers would have a clue what the heck is being discussed... but I can't remember right this second.
That said, I still can't figure out what OMI means in this reference... I feel like the I is for interchange because that is used all the time in salvage yard terminology, but I cannot for the life of me figure out the rest.
