whats hydrolock??? :huh:
Title: Re: 1.8T induction kit

Guessin hydrolock is suckin in water!? Give Simota Aeroforms a look, its a cone fikter in a carbon fibre trumpet. Awesome and a really nice noise. Sils behind the battery using the OEM plastic intake pipe from the grill

hydro lock is when you suck in water through the air filter and seizes your engine although i found these dunno if they actually help though http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250759780086&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_905wt_763

Those simota induction kits look good! i'll look into them abit more cheers  :wink:

and what do they sound like?
Title: Re: 1.8T induction kit
Post by: vwfiend on 07 March 2011, 23:19
It has a kinda unique sound mate, air resonates really well through carbon. Also really amplifies a 007p. I paid about £240 but i think they've come down a bit now. Sanspeed sell them....... Symsymma on this forum just got one too

You'd only get hydro lock if you submerse the filter totally..... so if your gonna drive into over 2 feet of water in a mk4 golf you need your head checking!!!

These are quite good and got good reviews at R-Tech...

:grin:  mine was for an S3 originally i think. I had one on my E36 and liked it so much that I wanted one for the Golf but at the time i couldnt get the Golf one. To me, an engine is there to provide power, not to make engine bay whores aroused.......   :rolleyes:
