Yeah £142 delivered, skip the £70 off voucher for a fiver and look though the listings, share fluke i found them.


Although the mounts are the same, the £135 mounts state Cupra R, but the £5 for £70 off voucher says Golf, so I'm not sure that it would accept the 2 together or not??  :undecided:

Back on the ebay induction kit, just fitted mine [reverse Ivor :wink:], and have to say am quite impressed. A little more induction noise but not ridiculous, just a little roar :smiley:

Would advise 70-90mm jubilee clips for fittings as Ivor already mentioned, as supplied ones are poo!! Been to Hull today 70 miles for me, popped bonnet when arrived and it was as cool as a cucumber to the touch. Early days,but quite chuffed :wink:

Ps anyone with secondary hose needs a 25mm breather filter, mine was a tenner delivered from the bay.

PPs am considering replacing vents in front and running cold feed to them as I only have standard intake parts, will allow it to breathe easier I think..

Not tried it 'conventional' way yet Ivor. What did you say difference was?? A little less noise was it. Might spin it round tomorrow...

Can't grumble for 40notes though. Can't see how a genuine BMC would be £200 more superior, you get what you pay for and all that, but I think sometimes companys do take the piss......

Of course they're taking the pi55, but I'd imagine a lot more R&D went into the BMC kit, though!  ;)

It wasn't the noise, chief, it felt a little more restrictive the 'logical' way around!  ;)

I bought the aluminium induction kit off ebay and it came with an adapter for the secondary hose that went straight into the original airbox and it plumbs straight into an intake on the ali pipe
