Re: Send-it 'back, NOS filter

["Dave Hall" <dave@hallvw.clara.co.uk>]

That sounds like the professional version of what I found on my
Variant (Squareback) from the PO.  He fitted a pipe from a T on the
pressure switch, through a 356 Porsche filter unit (big silver job),
through the rear panel and to and fro inside the rear bumper to cool
it a bit, then
back through a small hole in the plastic breather cap.  I don't know
if it worked; I returned it to stock.  I'm still waiting for the
rest of the 356 to appear, though!
