I wouldnt install an induction kit - it wont work basically
a panel filter is the way to go and they do work well on the TDI's
i have a green panel filter (£38 i think) and i do think throttle response is a bit better, i also have a remap and miltek cat back exhaust on mine
also, come service time, you will have to buy a new paper one where as with an aftermarket panel filter you can service and clean it yourself
id go for a green one!

Is yours a 140 or 170 Boydie?
Anyone know if a panel filter for the 140 will work just as well in a 170?

Yeah its a 140 - I will hopefully find out tonight what power the car is putting out this evening when I go to the rolling road!
I went for a local company remap - they have 100% positive feedback and i am very happy with it - cost £235 compared to revo's £499 plus mine was a local forum discount as well (usually £270)
hoping for 170-180bhp but if it doesnt reach that the guys will re-remap the car for me free of charge
as far as i am aware the 170 uses the same airbox as the 140 - the main difference between the engines is a DPF - deisel particulate filter (i think) and the ecu map

it wont get noisier - it will just let more air in!
no, they are just a local distributor for Northern Ireland but use a german company who change the stock maps on the cars - basically they copy the map from the car, email it to germany, they remap to stock map, email the new one back and then the company who i went to load it onto the car - simple!
as far as the 170bhp model is concerned, i dont think there are many, if any, safe maps for it yet!

Time to throw a spanner in the works.
What about BMC/CDA Intake Systems?
Carbon Fibre, Fully Enclosed? For 2.0TDI?

170 uses piezo injectors and has extra balancer shafts (whatever they are - according to steve184 in another post)

On a V6 awesome but on a diesel *****.maars said:Damn you sir!
I had a CDA on my V6 Clio and it sounded awesome. And sold it with the car
I had a cone on my A4 and the diesel intake noise was horrible.It came straight off and i put the original box back on with the paper filter and i didnt notice any difference in performance.

sounds ok, its not as loud as i expected but you do get the BAHOOOOO noise if you know what i mean when you build the pressure up with the throttle
smokes a bit more since you are getting rid of the extra back box but not that bad!
