how to make your own 90mm custom intake
before I even got the k1 I had been looking at the tuning aspect, and realising these cars are bloody expensive, im not the type to pay £400 for an intake, no matter how nice it looks,
so heres your shopping list:
1x70>90mm silicone hose
2x90mm 90degree silicone hoses
1xmetre 90mm alloy pipe
5x80>100 jubilee clips
1x60>80 jubilee clips
Metal rod
Air filter of choice
Tools:
Air saw
Dremel/air grinder
Sanding wheel
Heres how to do it:
The scary bit is cutting your engine cover, once you have this in hand you’ll see how and were to cut, you basically need the maf pipe, don’t forget take the maf sensor out before doing any cutting as they are fragile!!!! You have been warned
You want to get the oval maf pipe to the stage were the coupler fits on,
Next you need a piece of alloy pipe 10.5” long, fit this into the coupler and then onto one of the elbows,
The next pipe is 6.5” long and has the other elbow and filter on it (I chose a ramair filter which can flow over 400bhp)
I then made a couple of brackets out of the steel bar, to hold everything in place, and cut my engine cover to suit,
Heres how it all looks now

Oryt just wondering where you anchored it to?
Same place the other kits do. There's a bracket next to the battery and then on top of the turbo heat shield

Shame you got rid of the Leon mate, but the work you put into cars is just great. So much detail!
Well,
Today I will be reunites with the Leon, I've pined for it since I sold it
The golf unexpectedly hurt my back so with that sold, I was stuck for another car, no leons for sale floated my boat, and as I kept in touch with the previous owner, I messaged him and we reached a deal.
Should never of sold it.
