Just had a EVO cold air intake fitted today and well impressed. Thing is huge! Last filter i had was a K&N about 8yrs ago and was quite toss to be honest (and small)
Was suggested having a larger turbo fitted which is quite tempting but not too sure! Was planning on keeping it totally stock but it's just not happening

PICS ASAP !

Well I'm just about to go in and swap out the Carbonio for the EVOM's. Arrived early this afternoon and looks quite a bit tasty :evil:
I have the 12 page pdf file printed out and tools at the ready. Fingers are ready to have plasters attached at a moments notice :laugh:
-
Waiting for pics Hurdy!

Hurdy, when you're done and as a favour, could you clear your faults in vcds (even if none are present) then check your fuel trim after around 100 miles. It's block 032 and you can do it without starting the engine.

As Requeted!!

Hib,
Yours is a K03 isn't it?
I can't see a take off pipe on the top of the turbo pipe, so it must be.
Did they have to cut anything from the airbox shield?
I've started doing mine and the Forge DV piping is in the bloody way!!!! :angry:
Not to mention that the heatshield doesn't fit 'cos there is extra piping there
Also not to mention that my aftermarket lights and sound system have flooded the "Spare" area with circuitry :angry:
Then again, I have a saw and I'm not afraid to use it :grin:

Hi guys
What would you expect with a different air intake? I'm a bit naff at tuning!
-
Taken from the sales pages which I would take with a pinch of salt:
Replacing the factory air box, this Carbon Speed CAI kit gives a typical increase in torque of over 10% with an airflow increase of approximately 50% over the factory system.
Thats for a Carbon Speed intake which does a similar job.
In a layman's term: more air = more combustion = more power

Had mine fitted for a few days now and it sounds like Darth Vader on acid. The turbo chatter on overrun is great. Not sure if it will wear thin with the wife though :grin:

A little hard to do when you are driving. I'll see what I can do :cool:
-
We need sound clips Hurdy lol :D
-
Even harder to do just after midnight when you've just logged on after a few bevvies :laugh:
-

Here you are. Turn it up as the intake is nearly drowning out the wastegate turbo flutter. :laugh:

The turbo flutter sounds soooo good!
-
sounds awesome that :wink:
-
Only had mine on a week but gonna have to take it off. Find it a little too loud, plus my girlfriend has noticed it and started moaning at me (shock!!)
What are the carbon speed kits like noise wise?

In that case you should change your girlfriend and leave the EVOMs on :wink: :grin:
-
:grin: I like the sound of that!!!!!!! She noticed it whilst on the parkway the other night and now hates it!

Carbon ones don't make the turbo flutter sound and aren't that loud, when you plant your foot you can hear a much louder "woosh"ing noise as it sucks more air in.
If your running a Milltek you soon lose that sound to the sound of the exhaust note.
-
Got to keep the girlfriend so just fitted a carbon air intake this afters from DPM performance........sounds more normal now so hopefully no moaning!!!
I now have a EVOMS induction kit a wk old for sale now if anyone is interested as seen in the photo i posted

Well i wasn't totally honest with her.
I said i removed the engine cover that's why it was making that noise. Fitted another system and said i fitted the cover back on............she doesn't have a clue!!!!! :wink:
After 9 yrs i've found it's best not to say anything :lipsrsealed:

it took you 9 (!) years to realise that?! :shocked:
Don't say anything, you will alwys be the one at fault.

how much for the evoms
-
I paid £280 a week ago and it's done less than 150 miles so £250.00 with p&p included

Are you KO4? If so I may take it off your hands! :wink:
(Thanks John! :angry: :grin:)
-
KO4????
Haven't a clue what that is :embarassed:

If your car is an ED30 or Pirelli GTi then you have a K04 turbo... :smiley:
-
His is a K03 as it doesn't have the take off pipe after the MAF like the K04 does :smiley:
-
Yeah it's the normal GTI. Been offered the K04 but not sure weather to have it or not.
-
It's funny, to be honest i'm not sure i like the sound of them. I'd prefer them to be quieter. One thing i have noticed though women love the sound. I dated 2 different women in the last 3 or 4 months and i thought they were gonna have an orgasm :grin: they love it :laugh:
-
I've got a K03 GTI with a Revo map, so what would the intake noise be like on mine. I mean I'm guessing the turbo flutter on Hurdy's is due to the fact it's tuned to within an inch of its life, so what's it sound like on a more 'normal' remapped car?
