Hi guys its my first audi so I kinda new to the vag scene, been a vauxhall boy and I must say I will never be going back. I'm looking to install a neuspeed cai to m 2007 s3. Will I see any sport of gains when fitted? It's a standard car

From stock,you won't get big gains,but when you remap the car,you need the CAI,as the stock airbox and induction piping limit ariflow significantly.Hi guys its my first audi so I kinda new to the vag scene, been a vauxhall boy and I must say I will never be going back.

Is this really the case as others on this forum would have you beleive there is no need as the OEM airbox is totally capable at most some have said to smooth out the inside of the original airbox and us green cotton filter???
Maybe on the 8L Models, but the 8P definitely needs an intake to properly exploit the engine potential
At stage 1 you'll be okay with standard, anything above will require an intake
Possibly as it is an 8L that I have, though you'd think the engines not being worlds apart that the need for an aftermarket CAI would be similar.

I may well do the same,but I have to say in the ITG's defence,that it's been good enough for 500+bhp.Neuspeed is probably one of the worst intakes for gains for the S3 - still a decent intake but there are better out there for example the new Revo intake or the ITG (I have). I plan in the new year to change to the Revo unit as it has a better air flow rate than my ITG. STaSIS Revo Performance Online Shop. Revo High Flow Air Intake System 2.0TFSI K03/K04
I can see what you're getting at there,and in theory at least,maximum flow will be determined by the narrowest part of the system,as well as the point(s) at which turbulent air flow ensues.Fair enough everyone takes their choice, I have had the ITG on my S3 and that was great and I have the Neuspeed on my current GTI and that is also a good bit of kit. I'm not 100% convinced by the NEED for a bigger bore pipe before the MAF, I think a lot of companies bend the the results and attempt to blind people with Science in an effort to persuade them to spend £400 on what is essentially a pipe with a filter on the end.We are developing an intake in the new year as I feel there is a gap for a more reasonably priced kit with the option of different colour hoses and options. We will thoroughly test it and if I find there are huge benefits to a bigger bore pipe before the MAF I am big enough to hold my hands up and admit I was wrong.I'm sure I won't be thanked by people in the industry for airing that view but never mind.

The points at which bends in the system are placed,and how much attention is paid to smoothing those,plus any narrowings(such as large bore pipes prior to the MAF as you mention),will also be important,but you either go for trial and error,or CFD studies to get that right.
I think you're right on that,as it gets to the point where if everything isn't right,then the whole thing may not work as well as it could....I also agree that the Neuspeed seems to work well,and gets good press from the US users.I think it will be more worthwhile for something like your car mate when running huge power, as every last bit of air you can get through helps but for 'normal' stage tuned cars I am sceptical. I will test them though for sure. We will see I guess! For now though the Neuspeed is working brilliantly on our GTI.

Im planning on an intake in the new year, i was looking at the Neuspeed as it looks good value for money and get good press from the US guys, but i think i'll wait and see what you guys come up with, Keep us informed!!
Il also keep my eye on this I'm in the market for a intake had my heart set on the forge twintake but looking further into it it does seem to get mixed reviews.
