Cupra R Induction kit vs panel filter
- Thread starter tarche2
- Start date
Prefer a cone for the engine bay look and the noise but as I said a panel filter gives a little
Bit more kick low down, but you don't get to hear the turbo .
Yeah the issue I have is I am a 33 year old father of 2 and should know better than to still be modifying cars!
It's probably less embarrising for everyone if I keep the car from making too much noise.

Hahahaha fair point. It doesn't help having 2 motorbikes aswell.
result imo as they don't go in it 
Haha quality38 with 3 kids. I put a cone back on yesterday, I got a turbo, I want to hear it. My cupra is stripped and mapped and the family don't like itresult imo as they don't go in it

I've got ten years on you buddy, but I've never grown up.
My son loves the noises the car makes. He was telling me to get another loud exhaust when I had mine done. 8 years old and a proper petrol head. Result.
On topic. I have a JR cone filter with heat shield. The heat shield is the important part tbh. Add a cold air feed too,Even better.

I don't plan on growing up anytime soon mate. Na engines need cold feed the most, intercooler does the work for turbocharged engines.

Intake temp (at the air filter) is important on any engine, turbo or N/A.
Intercoolers do cool the air, but only by a certain percentage and only once the act of compressing it has already heated it massively.....The intercooler does't have time to cool it back down to anywhere near the ambient temp, so the colder the intake air the better.
If for example the air temp at the filter can be reduced to 20C instead of 30C, then that 10C difference carries all the way though the system, so the air entering the cylinders will be roughly 10C cooler as well.

Of course along with the filter, if you then add a Badger5 TIP it will add up to 19 more horses when mapped. Happy days!
