Title: induction kit
Post by: ELCAP1TAN0 on 20 May 2011, 18:00

I'm trying to get a quote from admiral to add an induction kit to my 1.8t. Having not done this before their first reply was what is an induction kit, so I replied a modified air filter. They then replied "Can you please advise us what effect this will have on the performance of the car before we give you a quote."

What should I reply with so that they don't bend me over the table?

cheers

Just tell them it's a purer filtration system that has no effect on the driving of the car, only the air that enters the engine  :wink:

To be honest, if it is one that suffers from heatsoak, you can tell them that there has been 5bhp and 12 ftlbs lost so may make it cheaper    :grin:

Panel filter with a cold air feed is better.

excuse me for not knowing these things but what are the advantages and disadvantages of having a panel filter over an induction kit? I want it to sound good be good to my engine, but don't want dump valves etc. I really don't want to sound like Vin Deisel coming down the street. :smiley:
