Title: CarbonSpeed Induction KIT??
Post by: spiritr on 17 September 2011, 23:42

Hey VW owners, I have just recently purchased a Mk5 Golf GTI. Having considered my options I have decided to go for a Performance filter the link to the filter can be seen below this:  :laugh:

I fitted one to my ed 30 and it ran worse than std!

This was confirmed with VCDS - it showed lower MAF g/s readings.

Ended up with just a K&N panel filter.

Same here, not had any problems with mine and its been fitted for over 2 years now. It is however, not the best induction kit. Youll struggle to make any proper gains but it sounds and looks nice. It is quiet a bit cheaper though and doesn't require any modifications to your engine cover.

The best induction kit (in my book) is the Forge Twin-Take system - http://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/content.asp?inc=product&cat=190203&product=FMIND12
