NetHeads,

I sent this to the CorvAircraft list yesterday, but it occured to me that
you VW guys could appreciate this too.  Back when Troy Petteway had a 2180,
he built a nifty carbon fiber plenum for it that he said cooled way better
than the baffles and chafe seal scenario, which allowed him to reduce the
size of his inlets and pick up some extra speed.  Jabirus use something very
similar today.  Anyway, it's at
http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/corvair/plenum/ .  It sure is easy to do
this on the Vair, and Troy proved that it can be done on the VW as well...
