Just my two cents... the mk1 is already lopsided enough as it is with the single air intake on one side and none on the other... making one further back does nothing for symmetry. This is my solution...

We haven't made the cold air box yet that will come off of that pipe into the engine bay yet. Also we will be removing the battery perch there. I looked at what you're talking about in the pics above, and note that the vent from the other side is angled down... this will then be angled up on your car on the driver's side to allow for water to come in, etc... not to mention it looks funky with them angled up like that. I considered making a matching vent for the driver's side but then realized it wouldn't fit with the gas filler being where it is, so we had to shrink up the passenger side. This was rather involved, but in my opinion was well worth the time/effort. We are planning to sell this as a kit in the near future.
