man so many topics around tdi induction kits.... please these wont make any difference or it can even make things worse.

 

[Gazwould]

Pointless.

 

[jordanb123]

iknow about all the threads on induction kits im not asking that. im asking if anyone has one of these ?

 

[Jonathaan]

Nope to answer your question,

But as stated above, flow tests have been done on the air boxes and allow maximum air flow. I have had a open cone and a panel filter. Neither made much performance difference from stock. only difference is noise, open cone gives like a Darth Vader noise on gear change, green cotton and my piper cross give a slight ttsshhh on gear change.

The only time i would think a open cone would be of any use is when a larger turbo is fitted and you need to overcome the standard flow rate, but this would not only require filter it would need revised induction routes.

cheers dude yeh all i want its the Tsshh noise like a Wastegate and i herd there better from a cone but if your saying that piper cross one then il go with that do you know if this one is paper or a foam oiled one because apparently the foam oiled ones Mess the turbo up?

 

[jordanb123]

all i want is the TTSSSSSHHHHH noise like a BOV or Wastgate

 

[Jonathaan]

Piper cross is a dry foam AFAIK

Correct, any filters like K&N which have oils applied can drag the oil through the intake and feck the MAF up.

And you will not achieve that type of noise from a derv, i mean you will hear a ttsshhh but it isnt mind blowing lol.

I will attempt to get a video for you of mine if you want?

 

[jordanb123]

whats a Derv? and yeah man if you could get a vid it would be much appreciated and you say you have the pipercross one ?

Thanks

[jordanb123]

Cheers man any chance of a vid and it's it noticeable from the standard tssshhhhh

 

[Jonathaan]

Yeah will sort a vid when car is back on road as currently sat on chocks of wood and axle stands while I detail it 8)

Yes you can hear it when window is down, what engine have you got in your car BTW?

 

[jordanb123]

2.0tdi 140bhp cr engine what you got and when the windows are down I can hear my standard tssshhh quite loud also have the back box cut out and a straight pipe

 

[jordanb123]

got the pannel filter installed no difference in noise to the standard filter

 

[Jonathaan]

The pipercross one yeah?

 

[Gazwould]

If you want induction noise drill a few holes in the air box.

 

[LEE69]

There wont be its a sealed box if you do drill holes drill in the half under the filter

 

[KevinF]

Would the drilled holes and the filter not be too close to the heat of the turbo etc being immediately above the turbo?

Just a thought?

Just buy the pipercross panel filter I had one on my 170 golf tdi and it made the dump valve noise when you changed gear between 2 and 3000 rpm.

Same on my mates 140 gold too.
