orignal air filter box vs induction kit???

[colz1234]

the above question, i have a 1.8 20v NON turbo, would i see better gains with the induction kit, such as a K and N typhoon kit, or maybe even a bmc cda??? over the standard air box/filter, or a smoothed air box/uprated panel filter?

i currently have a K and N cone filter and need to change it as its not really helping my air flow, hampering it if anything, so trying to work out what would be best

cheers guys

DSG IMO

sorry if being dumb, but i thought DSG is to do with transmission, not air filter, induction, or am i wrong?

ahhhh, just been doing a bit of research, i think you mean the uprated air intake tube, R32 DSG airbox feed, as is much chunkier then the original, or am i wrong again??

Yes thats he ment, also do thew airbox smooth, theres a guide to doing it on here. The r32 intake set up along with a smoothed airbox and a pipercross panel filter will be much better than the induction kit and a fair bit cheaper aswell

NICCEEEEEEEEEE, just the information i was looking for   

now, to source an air filter box ...........

is the 1.8t air box the same as the 1.8 n/a air box, like connections and all?

Not sure about N/A boxes, but the 1.8T has 2 different types.  AUM/Q has a secondary air pump hose connected to the box.

I used to think this, but for the time being, I'm running the ebay carbon IK along with the other 2 DSG parts (obviously not the pipe bit, though), & I'm quite impressed.

Ivor have you got that pic of yours yet??
I take it I'll need a breather filter for my secondary hose, or has the filter got a hole for this that you can blank out if you don't need it?
