If it looks like this then I dont know of any induction kits but you will still be able to get a filter type one, try K&N, but its not really worth it over the standard one tbh

problem is due to the position of your airbox and multiple pipes, it certainly makes it much more complicated to build an induction kit.

What were you wanting to achieve, there are other simple ways to make more noise you see.

i thought this would be the case, seems a weird set up...

tbh all i want to achieve is more induction noise and also be able to hear the turbo spool and dump more...

sounds pretty decent standard tbh, but i thought with a aftermarket induction kit it'd sound a lot better...

An induction kit would make it better imo yes, but with that set up, unless you wanna make your own its unlikely to see one for a while.

So you can do a few things...

Fit the filter http://www.knfilters.co.uk/search/appsearch.aspx?gclid=Cj0KEQiAjZGnBRCOuJOUo9Xd0sUBEiQAPbicN90_ will make slightly more noise.

Check what DV you have, this is the dv+ for the mk3 roc 1.4 single turbo http://www.gfb.com.au/performance-p...e-06-06-onward-99001760?searchtype=autosearch

It may be the same, for instance the mk5/6/7 gti is the same too, but you will have to locate it and see if it fits, a picture and an email to gfb would probably suffice too and AMD sell them on ebay. It will make more of a tsshh noise but not a extremely loud one.

You could always change the exhaust but thats a bit expensive and wont help for turbo noise.

What you could do is chip it, i dont think a map is out yet, but a dtuk box is. This will increase turbo noise slightly also, as its performing more under load http://www.diesel-performance.co.uk/vehicle-seat_leon-(2013-)_1.4-tsi-150ps

Besides that mate I dont know, seems thats the curse with having a special EA288 engine :)
