Title: a good cai
Post by: ashie_b1986 on 05 February 2011, 20:07

hey guys
i was wondering what would be a good cai to put on my 2001 golf aum 1.8 turbo
i have bought a forge splitter dump valve because i like the sound and was thinking of a cai to put on
is this one any gud?

Loads of people using these and there good for the price.

I and a few others have cut the pipe down so filter sits next to battery instead of bumper.

Cone at bumper = cold air, less reponse.
Cone at MAF      = Hot air, quick response.
Cone at battery  = Best of both worlds IMO.

Is the air colder near the wheel than it is at the grille? Doubt it :laugh:

This is interesting, I've always been led to believe with VWs closed induction is the way forward... (panel filter and upgraded intake) in the jap world open cone is the way forward... Bill runs his 3" TIP with an open cone where the air box sat and boasts up to a proven 25hp increase on a k04.

Is the open setup really better than a panel filter and DSG intake? Might sell mine lol!

in my eyes its letting hot air in compared to closed air box but i have no issues, might find a heat shield and put round it

have these cones been oiled okay? i mean is it oiled so badly that it is going to make my MAF die?  :huh:

Title: Re: a good cai
Post by: Dave_IOW on 06 February 2011, 17:26

put mine in GenClean to remove all the oil prior to fitting.

KnN are apparently oiled but i fitted my typhoon induction kit without cleaning at all and it never f**ked my car up in the year i had it so..
