golf 1.8t not running right think induction ?

[james2]

+1 as above i did the same ,much better and sounds good.

Wrap it!

Along with all the other aluminum as that has brilliant heat conduction properties. I'm running a long tube and not having any problems. But I have pipercross panel filter in the air box with a 2.25" pipe coming out the airbox and coming out just under the horns.

[james2]

copy mine and daves setup ,you will love it and wont go back to panel filter or induction kit by horn.I tryed both ares are much better.Try it you can easy put it back to your horn with a silcon joing pipe.But get a new filter the ones that come with the ebay kit is only a £9.99 filter crap and is 2 big to put next to battery.

Would of thought there would be loads of heat intaking that high and far back by the engine?

[james2]

Try it, the sound rules  i use a jr filter from france got it second hand never used £30(rated 250bhp)  get a cold air feed from bumper vent were your arce filter sits .Ill find my video i think i put all the air filter sizes in desciption .I wanted a green need a open end filter not sealed if you know what i mean (has a extra filter in the end).

Ive said this before, but some would argue that cooler air after the turbo is more important.

Im pretty sure my intake temps would be lower due to a FMIC than a induction kit in the vent with standard IC.

Turbo's superheat any air that passes through them, i know the colder the better to start with and all that but meh..

I have a cold air feed running to mine and i doubt theres hardly any difference tbh.

The alu pipe coming from turbo to intercooler = hot,
the alu pipe coming from intercooler to inlet = cold.

Longer pipe and much slower throttle response was worse than a couple of extra degrees intake temp.

Nuff said i reckon

We will have to get my Turbocharging formula book out as we need to calculate underbonnet temperatures and chuck an ambient air temperature in  with a turbo compressor efficiency of 75% 

Wouldn't have thought pipe length leading to the turbo would off been a restriction in a forced induction setup, after the compression I can see it being an issue due to the volume off air needed to be filled followed by pressurizing.

Lol im not too hot on the theory behind it, but i know for a fact that when i had the long pipe on and filter behind vent, i had a VERY slow throttle response which is what the original poster was on about!

Im VERY happy with mine where it is, and im sure he will be too!

Try it bud, filter on the tube end, then directly on MAF, amazing difference!

Thats why i think i have a happy medium, far enough away and with cold air feed so it gets reasonably cold air, but short enough for rapid throttle response!

Just my 3p

[golf-sib]

3p, crikey you have some weird change   

Will give it a go once golf is repaired, been working like a mule and another 2 weeks to go  plus trying to sell things to get some money to repair the golf. Will give it a go as I have loads off aluminum piping laying around that I could do with selling some.

You got any videos off that exhaust as I am debating it
