Revo induction kit 3.0 V6T

Boydie · Mar 25, 2015

Anyone purchase one yet or have it fitted?

What are your thoughts?

What other options are there?

I think there's an induction kit of sorts included in the MRC stage 2:
New intake pipe (looks to have a bigger diameter)
MRC high flow panel filter,
And an airbox mod.

They modify the existing box, but think it might be to just smooth the inside as it looks the same from outside...

They put a k&n filter in mine

Can't say I've actually opened it, but that's interesting considering they say it's an MRC panel...

I have it fitted, what would you like to know?

Boydie · Mar 27, 2015

@sixpot cheers

What did you pay?
Notice extra noise/whine?
Any difference in mpg?
Noticeable performance?

Thanks

They are not cheap (£500 odd) but use a special coating on the metal induction pipes which reflects heat. They also come with a heat shield which helps to keep a cooler Air intake.
With heavy throttle input the supercharger whine is quite noticeable, but it is quiet at other times. I cannot hear an induction noise like you would get with a n/a car.
As it is part of a package I don't know whether it makes any extra power on its own.
I have a little clip of it when I first got it fitted, and tested it on a private road!

Ooh that sounds good.

I think I'm having a crisis!

It can't be a panel filter the box doesn't take one. Even the OEM filter is a cylinder.

Really, didn't know that, will have to go take a look later

Boydie · Mar 30, 2015

Yeah it's a cylindrical filter for OEM

I have the AWE Tuning induction kit which allows extra supercharger whine in to the cabin (but not excessive)

The kit installed looks OEM as it uses the same airbox, just with a different filter and induction pipe without all the resonators inside.

Just throwing this out there as there's been a bit of discussion about supercharger whine/noise - more info here, p34.

Apparently there'sd a resonator attached to the intake between the air filter and supercharger, as well as insulating foam in the engine bay that directs s/c noises down. May remove them and see what happens!

Keep us posted.

How much is the awe tuning intake?

The filter itself is relatively cheap I think: http://www.awe-tuning.com/awe-tuning-s-filter
Not sure on postage.

Are there any benefits to buying the entire kit? i.e. any gain to be had from it, or can you get the same effect by removing the insulation on the OEM pipe?

I'm still waiting on a quote from Stattlers up in Sheffield for GIAC stg2 upgrade & awe intake,awe chargecooler...

Yep, K&N cone filter in the airbox here then...checked today, although already looks like it needs a clean on the intake side after 10k miles
