That box does absolutly nothing, I rember reading on DSM.org that it was like a intake silencer or something, but anytime you have a FMIC it is eliminated so....destroy it some more!

To add more mystery... my 95 Automatic TSi AWD, built October 94 did not have this box. My 95 Manual TSi AWD, also built in October 94, DID have this weird ass box. I took it out when swapping the 16g and piping from my old automatic, so I can't comment on the effects of just removing it alone. I think I still have it somewhere.... weird thing.
