2.0 gt fsi induction kits

[bertmort8]

just wondering who has got an induction kit on their golf and if they rate it or not

im looking for one and been told about the bmc, looking for the note that it gives aswell as the slight power increase

anythingelse you can do to this model relatively cheap to get faster

Personally I'm not a fan of Induction kits. The usual culprits are available for the Golf (K+N etc)...... I'm actually looking at something like an ITG panel filter (to replace the stock) - cheaper upgrade and there will be improved airflow.

BUT.... it's all well and good putting Induction/Filters on but that's only half of the issue.

With a breathing mod, if you don't improve the outgoing movement, you're not going to really feel the benefit. ie lots of air coming into the car, but then being stifled by the exhaust......

Lots of people genuinely forget this

FWIW, I did the same mod on my old Scooby a few years back. Did the ITG first. didn't make any difference really apart from the placebo effect!!
Put a full decat on, and well, the smiles per mile went up considerably!!!

I did change back to a standard filter and noticed a slight negative difference....

To answer your question though, yes they're available, but personally for the money, I'd stick with a better panel filter (unless you like the change in sound!!!)

cheers for the reply dan, a mate of mine said maybe to just go with replacement panel filter

i am wanting abit more sound out of her

Iv just had this Carbino CAI put in this morning, only really driven it back from the workshop. I am off to the Brands Hatch meet now so will give her a good blast and see if I can notice any improvement.

[bertmort8]

that looks really nice, yeh let me know how it sounds and performs, dont suppose you can really notice the difference in performance can you

[RedRobin]

....

I don't think you'll feel any performance gain without a performance exhaust and remap. Slightly improved throttle response perhaps but the actual filter used is also a factor.

As what Red says.
I dont rate the carbonio very overpriced for what you get IMO.I had one and switched to this

[AlanD]

I agree, Zorst is next on the hit list and has overtaken wheels in importance

Not really noticed much after an enthusiastic drive home, deff got slightly better throttle response when at lower speeds and makes a slightly nicer sound.

Alan looks like your oil cap isn't fully tightened.
