KN or Pipercross are the reconised brands for induction kits.

Swing + Roundabout = This question.

One of the two will do mate. Now there will be 100 replies on how you should drill your air box, make cold air intakes, and slagging of heat soke etc.

 :lipsrsealed: :rolleyes:

Get a pannel filter and drill the air box (I.e drill big ish holes on the BOTTOM section of your air box)

The problem with a Induction kit is it is open, prone to heat soak. If you relly want an induction kit go for a closed type but they can cost £$£$

Pipercross panel filter



= happy khare

Unless you want to spend circa £200 on a closed induction kit like a BMC, then just buy a decent panel filter, and modify the airbox.

Told you so..... Drilling airbox was an idea though up by someone who couldnt afford an induction kit.

Heat soke was made up by non gti owners.

Drilled boxes are loud aswell but for grunt there is not substitute for an induction.

Only if that induction set up is shielded from heat and has suitable cold air intakes.

As khere said get some sort of cold air feed ducting.
People tend to stick with K&N 57i cones. Not fancy a BMC?

They are ok, not sure if they give the same "roar" as the other alternatives. Most people rate Pipercross as the best.
