Title: Induction kit?
Post by: myles841 on 30 January 2012, 12:56

Hi all,

Just after some information on induction kits for my mk4 gti 2L 8v, is it worth using an induction kit? or is it just as good to use a panel filter?

Cheers

you wownt see any real performance gains from either, personally ide just use standard or a pannel filter because its cheeper than buying an induction kit, pipework, sheild from hot air/water splashing up from road ect pluss takes 2 mins to put panel filter in there rather than a hour or so for induction kit.

Stick with a panel filter.

If you had a turbo id say go for induction kit for noise, but as you have a 2.slow then stick with panel  :grin:

like they said. you will not notice and power difference. maybe get a little whoosh noise but its alot of money to spend just for the sound. pannel is your best bet!

Agreed - but the bits from ebay and you are looking less than a panel filter.
I got a piece of ali tube about 10" long with a slight bend (about £10)
A filter (about £10)
a silicone joiner (about £3)
