Which induction kit?

[wightman]

As some already know im after a re-map, but now im thinking to hold back and get an induction kit and maybe a system (de-cat)back before i do, to get the best out of the re-map at the time, so whats the general norm with induction kits? do peeps on here have them, if so what make? ive seen the average , Kn57i for around £90 , jetex do one for £72 , also a few pics would be nice so i can see what the crack is with the location of it.

any help

cheers

You will only gain noise from an induction kit,standard airbox can be modified to flow better with a larger pipe feed.Exhausts on s3's are good to start with,a3's benefit from having the front pipe and cat as well,not much gains from a cat back alone.If you decat then you will have problems with imissions,lamda faults etc.

Yeah thats what i thought about power gains , i would like a bit of noise tho, as for the zorst, could the lamda not be put in the same place? if a bespoke system was made? and as for emissions

It depends if your car has a twin lambda set up,ifit has you will need a cat of sorts.

ABD LAN and a big eff off Green cone filter.

Makes you car sound like Darth Vader with a cold (in a good way )

Little or no effect on performance though.

I didn't log it with VagCom, but I tried the stock airbox, a big K&N and no filter at all. I couldn't spot any performance difference. It only makes a difference to the sound, as others say.
One good thing about more induction noise, is you can spot a dodgy DV easier.

Interesting article here about the "benefits" of replacement filters etc.: http://www.max-boost.co.uk/max-boost/intake/intake.htm#highflowreplacementairfilters
Some interesting links on there too.

The BMC CDA makes a great noise. Cheaper than the Jabba kit too.
