Hello,
Has anyone on here got a cold air intake system? If so, which one? What would you recommend and why do you think yours is the best? :)
Thanks,
Dan.

Dan,
i went for the Carbonio stage 1,2 http://www.goapr.com/products/intake_carbonio_20tsi.html
Excellent quality and quite until you give it some beans :smiley: then you get a nice subtle induction roar and a dumping sound coming back through the intake system as it changes gear.
Cracking peice of kit and nice n tidy in the engine bay :cool:
Noticed your not far from me, more than welcome to come around for a test run :wink:
-
Carbonio here too! Great piece of kit and looks nice too as Neil says! :wink:
-
Thanks for the replies gents :) I noticed the MAF sensor is in a different place on the TSI rather then my TFSI? So I'll see if they still do the old TFSI piping :)
Where about do you live Neil? :)
-
The intakes for the TFSI are very different to the TSI, the Mk5 section will probably give you more relevant info on tuning stuff :smiley:
Personally on the TFSI the ITG Maxogen is the one to go for.

I am in Hull :smiley:

those that have changed the intake when it dumps is it a slight chatter or just a single dump?

Its more of a chatter :smiley:
don't know if it does it with the standard exhaust on, cos i got the Miller put on at the same time :rolleyes:
-
Is the TFSI air filter built into the engine cover? Can it be changed or removed so I could say put a cone filter on the end? Looked today but didn't want to take the cover off :\
-
Yes it's built in and to run a proper CAI you will need to remove the engine cover.
it's possible to cut down the old cover and fit this around the intake tubing.

thanks i had this noise on a friends mk6 he had the cat back system installed, he just wanted a single dump rather than the slight chatter so removed the filter.. i liked it though :)
-
I assume it's a a cylinder type filter?
Could I just remove the filter and fit a cheap cone filter so it's straight through? Just while I saved £300 odd for the ITG :(
-
You can but it won't work as well.
Your going to see a major benefit if your running a stage 2 or above.
-
DRC, as SteveP has said, the ITG Maxogen seems to be the best intake available for this engine.
I have one for sale if your interested?
Selling due to selling my GTI :embarassed:
-
Will I see any (how much?) benefit from CAI, either Carbonio or ITG, put into GTI with only Revo stage 1?
Just trying figure out if CAI would be really worth spending the £200-£250...
Thx.

On the Mk6 the stock intake is good so the gains are less than on the likes of the Mk5 on the TFSI engine.
The throttle response and the sound were the gains I was pleased with.

Neil, think I may have to come over and see/hear yours to convince me :P haha

the new ITG one for the TSI looks good also, although its enclosed now rather than open
