CAI
« on: 09 May 2011, 00:09 »
Hello,

Has anyone on here got a cold air intake system? If so, which one? What would you recommend and why do you think yours is the best? :)

Thanks,
Dan.

Dan,
i went for the Carbonio stage 1,2      http://www.goapr.com/products/intake_carbonio_20tsi.html
Excellent quality and quite until you give it some beans  :smiley: then you get a nice subtle induction roar and a dumping sound coming back through the intake system as it changes gear.
Cracking peice of kit and nice n tidy in the engine bay  :cool:

Noticed your not far from me, more than welcome to come around for a test run  :wink:

Thanks for the replies gents :) I noticed the MAF sensor is in a different place on the TSI rather then my TFSI? So I'll see if they still do the old TFSI piping :)
Where about do you live Neil? :)

The intakes for the TFSI are very different to the TSI, the Mk5 section will probably give you more relevant info on tuning stuff  :smiley:

Personally on the TFSI the ITG Maxogen is the one to go for.

those that have changed the intake when it dumps is it a slight chatter or just a single dump?

Is the TFSI air filter built into the engine cover? Can it be changed or removed so I could say put a cone filter on the end? Looked today but didn't want to take the cover off :\

Yes it's built in and to run a proper CAI you will need to remove the engine cover.

it's possible to cut down the old cover and fit this around the intake tubing.
