Induction kit/air filter

[goldie87]

Hi all,

I dont know too much about this but just needed some advice. I want an induction kit for the FR, its currently got the standard air filter but I want to change this for a number of reasons (so I can hear the turbo hiss more, quicker response etc).

I don't want to spend too much so wanted something at a decent price but the main question is about hot or cold air intake, I read a few threads which mentioned it should be a cold air intake, so what do I need to purchase to get this? As I believe a box standard cone filter will bring in hot air?

What do u see as a decent price??

To me a decent price is 400

To some people that'll be 200

 

[goldie87]

Yep, 200 sounds about right lol

Probs neuspeed p flo will be closest to that price that is a decent kit

Evoms is good And around 280

Cheers pal, neuspeed p flo looks good and there seems to be some decent reviews on it.

Classifieds cough cough

There is one of mine for sale in the classifieds. It's a cold air intake with an engine cover to suit. £150 bargain !!

You can pick up the evoms 2nd hand for £200

The one above looks a good bit of kit for the cash.

I think the twjn take has got to be the one, not because i have one but its the only one that has the air filter inside its own heat shielded tube. best way to keep the air temps down imo

Twin take is actually not a very good one if you look at 99% of the stage2+ threads most people run ITG or REVO now.

The Volkswagen Racing intake is a covered intake

 

[andypower]

Oh yeah i know and, revo and itg are fan favorites, what's it all down to though. What makes them better than other intakes?

Surely the air flow is fairly the same between each one. tbh i was surprised about the filter sizes on the two twintake cones where.

 

[AndrewJB]

Nah the airflow is alot less on some

No air filter? so your car is sucking in dirt n dust?

I've got a Neuspeed Pflo going for £100 if anyone is interested, it's just sitting in a box since I got my ITG

 

[betty_swollox]

[betty_swollox]

Ok pics to follow but its a work in progress, ive modified the mtc induction kit so I got rid of the maxigen itg filter and replaced it with a 90-80mm straight reducer to the oe airscoop the car sounds healthier and responds quicker no annoying woosh sound.
Pros
-more throttle response mpg seems alot better when not hacking it.
-no heat soak
-saved money and didnt have to buy vwracing apr enclosed induction kit mine looks similar.£ 420
Cons
No airfilter
Need to see how it goes ie maf scaling has already been mapped with amd stage 2 but not without filter
Need to cut up a 90mm maf sensor to have the meshing for protection or get some mesh from a civ etc.

Il post up a pic soon.-

Sounds like it may work well as long as you have your fuel trims in order with your maf scaling.
But as others have suggested I wouldn't run it anywhere without an air filter as it only takes the turbo to ingest something and it would be expensive.
Interested in seeing your pics though as I've modified my MTC intake but more the maf housing to sort fuel trims.

Always hear lots of good things about the Evoms, plenty of people seem to have them and I've never heard anyone complain.

Well made bit of kit.
