intake air grommet
So, I got to wondering if the rubber grommet at the end of the intake is supposed to rest against the fender, or is the lip supposed to be tucked into the fender. I really don't know, but perhaps someone here does.

At least on the turbo, they have a little lip/channel that straddles the sheet metal -- much like a grommet would. So it's not on one side of the other but rather on both sides at once, loosely holding onto the sheet metal. Cant say for sure the n/a is the same, but would be surprised if it's any different.944er wrote: Wed Jun 17, 2026 12:32 pm So, I got to wondering if the rubber grommet at the end of the intake is supposed to rest against the fender, or is the lip supposed to be tucked into the fender.

Thanks Tom. I'm not where my car is right now, so I'll take a look when I get back to her. My recollection is that there is a lip on the inside, but I don't remember forcing the other lip inside when I checked the belt tension a few months ago.
