Hi people I'm new to the forum! Bought myself a 06 gti about 2 weeks ago now and lovin it! Got the car mapped on Thursday so after fitting a new bypass vavle I ended up with 220 bhp at the wheels and 250 at the flywheel! My next mod was going to be intake and a down pipe! I'm stuck between the evoms or the apr induction kits! Can anyone help me out on this or even five me other options?
Cheers
Thomas

There are loads of options, but the best ones on the market at the moment are:-
Forge Twintake
ITG maxogen
EVOM's
RedRobin has just had the Forge one fitted and has made some healthy gains over his original Carbonio (over 20bhp!!!!)
Similarly the ITG has made phenomenal increases over the stock intake on K04 edition 30's (over 40bhp!!! - bear in mind it is a K04!)
Evoms also has seen increases of over 20bhp too.
If it were my money (even though I have the EVOM's on mine) I'd probably go for the Twintake as it also looks good!

Cheers for the reply,
Yea I had looked at the forge system and the oettinger ram air system! I do plan on going to k04 upgrade but it will be after the summer before I have everything together! But I don't want to be buying one to have to change it when I upgrade!

Does the Forge one fit with the engine case on?
Seen a few pics on tinterweb and they all have the casing off :undecided:
-
Hummm Im pretty sure it wont fit from having a 2nd closer look.

No...

The Forge Twintake fits with the Evoms cover though : -

I like that cover more than the stock one. Would look awesome with a red stripe around the edge or some other small detail.
Also, those are some serious gains for just an intake! Makes a change from the mk3 section where it's swiss-cheese your airbox or you're loosing power :grin:

RR, engine is looking gooood, the Evoms ones is lovely, where did you get it from?

....Thanks, Alan! We all love compliments :afro:
Regal in Southampton are the main distributors for Evoms in the UK but I have yet to enjoy a good experience with them. JKM ordered one for me at the very beginning of December but when I asked about the order (which I subseqently cancelled) last weekend, Kate told me that none of their order had turned up yet! That's 3 months!!
A friend gave me his because the previous owner had badly modified one of the fixings and I have mended and modified it to be more easily taken on and off. Normally they cost around £90. Obviously I transferred my existing carbon centre strip.

There are a few kits out there for the mk5 but the ones Hurdy mentioned seem to be the best.

There are many diffrent types of air intakes. I currently have the Carbon Speed one:

It was quite a bit cheaper than the Forge one, but as mentioned, wont give you as many gains. Still, miles better than standard imo.
-
what sort of money are we talking for a reasonable one also i wana put a dump vavle on for a bit for a laugh does it need to be a re-circulating one
-
its a turbo car so comes with a dump valve. forge do spacers if thats what you want. i wouldnt bother though. whats unnecessary? if your going to get a MK5 GTI and you have to mod it then you will do the reseach before doing it but obviously advice helps from the right direction. I would say when you got over the initial payment of the car consider getting a map and decide how far you want to go with it. if you just want a filter and map then get revo. if you want to get an exhaust to compliment it i would recommend revo, HPFP then again Revo. if your a mod hungry person there is only one way to go. if however your going to buy the car and map it and never think about any of the serious bits i would say get any map on the market. Revo is VAG specific. You pay your quids and make a choice if your going to spent three hundred on something thats not right why not spend 5 and get the real deal. although saying all this i think Nick at RTech could probably cater for what you need, sounds like his MK5 maps are pretty strong..
