The 1.8T Air box/Induction thread

Anyone here tried one of the blox velocity stack intakes, they look pretty huge, ideally i'd like to use it with a heatshield? Also been looking at one of the ram-air enclosed cone filters.

BLOX looks a very good piece of kit.
Wouldn't bother with the ram air. Looks restrictive. Could make the same out of your old airbox with a 3" feed from the bumper.

I'll be wrapping my heatshield in real carbon anyway

Where did you get your money tree from?

Coming to work this morning was the first time I've properly driven the car with S2000 filter on. Not sure why people are complaining about the induction noise, I'm getting very little. The d/v noise is slightly louder but not anything excessive, overall I'm very impressed with it

I was expecting it to be like an aircraft taking off lmao (from what I heard anyway  )

From what I found there was no benefit of this over a heatshield and cone on the MAF, and as this is classed as a serviceable part and needs changing every 8-12k or whatever they are the cone wins

I got mine from here. ridiculous price

Its green and cream, but NOT OILED

The reducer i had for my 70mm MAF was 70-86mm from JS Performance. £15 inc postage

Hope this helps

A quick convo via text to Nick today gave the info I need; the standard airbox gets restrictive around 230bhp so mine will be changing soon

To keep the OE look could you not just upgrade to the R32 airbox and snorkel etc? Maybe smooth this out on the inside as well.

I currently run the DSG bits and a smoothed box. I'll be keeping the snorkel etc with the S2000 filter

You might struggle for space, I had to remove my standard snorkel to get the filter in

Ah but don't forget my TIP has been trimmed back....
