air intake system question

[Ivor Mk4 Turbo]

Don't mean to pi55 on ur parade, Dalo, but just don't want to see another "I need a new cylinder head" thread.

You can buy 'water jackets' for the low down filters, but I can't see how they're not going to restrict cold air getting in.

P.s. Believe me, the turbo's suck in more powerfully than a porn star, lol.   High boost cars can cause stock turbo inlet pipes to collapse!

Noted mate - but what im saying is rather than spend more money on the one you have, I would rather for now just put a smaller pipe on so that the filter doesnt hang in the wheel arch and keep the filter just behind the battery (for now)

I'll try shortening the pipe before spending another £40 on an induction kit 

thats actually a good idea  ... is the filter that came with the one you got any good tho?? as i was thinking just using the pipe (chop it shorter) and then sticking a pipercross foam filter on   

[Dalo Harkin]

All the filters are basically the same when it comes to the non foam ones really, even halfrauds do their own lol
I know I have some odds and sods of induction bits in the garage somewhere (goes digging for pipes)

i have the cold air filter (£39) it for dry use only... gave it a try today sounds well good can hear a blow off noise and pulls even better, wheel spun in second gear pulling away and i still need to replace a boost pipe as it has a split in it

you need a filter make it spin in 2nd.. for shame lol 

wa filter you get?

[james2]

ebay £39 cold air filter kit the one that sits in wheel arch , went out a min ago , gave it a good bit of abuse when i got back i felt the cold air pipe and it was freezing and the inlet mainifold was nice and cold , well happy with it 

[Dalo Harkin]

thats the one I have but after seeing IVORs ebay thread one - i will be getting that at some point as there is no space behind the battery to run an ali pipe and a filter.
not chancing borking my engine 

I love the induction noise it gives off on the wheel arch one though

which airfilter have you both got again Ivor and Nav?

ive got a evo motorsport airfilter on mine, cost a bomb and you can here it sucking nicely, but i want more of a roar, as if there is so mich air beeing sucked up when i put my foot down like you get on some turbo cars.

doese it sound anything like that, or is it cars with biger turbos that have that?
