Induction kit choice?

[jamespearson]

Hi all

I have a seat leon fr tdi 150 and was thinking of putting a induction kit on but not sure on what's best to put on it? Had mixed reviews on the 57i kit and a Honda s2000 kit but what do you guys recommend? Don't wanna spend stupid amount of money and I hasn't got to be a kit I could just get a cone for it

Thanks!

Don't waste your money would be my advise, standard airbox and uprated panel filter.

Second that, custom heatshields are available on ebay for £25ish. Think the JR's are around £50 from them direct depending on size!!

What like it's the Honda s2000 filter on the tdi?

Speak to Richie on here and get one of his heatshields much better quality than the ebay ones. Mine fitted like a glove. Here's mine fitted but I did have it Powdercoated.

They are mate really solid and well made. The eBay ones are really flimsy from what I've heard. Mine fitted perfect no adjustment required at all. You can spray them yourself but I got mine Powdercoated for £20.

Here it is after I got it from the Powdercoaters

The cold air feed will do more good than a heat shield in most cases.

Guys, there's absolutely nothing wrong with the standard filters for the following reasons:

1. The paper element will flow more than enough air to support far more power than your engine will ever make.

2. The standard filter doesn't contaminate your maf sensor with filter oil, rendering it useless

3. The standard filter actually works as a filter. Ie, it stops dust and debris from getting into your engine and wrecking your valves and rings.

4. If you want induction noise, drill holes in the bottom and sides of the standard airbox. This will give you the noise you want whilst still having a working filter.

I've had K&N panels, pipercross, BMC CDA, Jabba shielded cones, Green open cones, CAIs behind the bumper, everything you can think of. The standard filter is better at it's job than any of these.
