Its a VTEC scoop. It sucks up air to make VTEC crack harder

Its probably just sucking up cold air to the engine compartment. Without seeing what its truly doing who knows why a VW owner would put such a thing like that there. LOL maybe its a horn... After all it IS a VW lol

That is called a velocity stack, very popular on ITB setups and motorcycles. Also popular with the local ricers in my area that swear it gives them 70hp.

It allows the engine to breath easier
