Which induction kit
« on: 06 November 2012, 12:10 »
Hi Guys,

Looking to get a decent induction kit for my AUM, But am unsure whats best and which is most recommended?
I have been looking at the carbonio, but there are quite a few different kits out there.

I have seen on JBS's website that they offer an induction kit from a company called Autotech, they seem okay but just wanted reviews.

What filter does everyone use and recommend?

Thanks
Sam

Is that what people use over cold air induction kits? I did look in to a panel filter. But I want more of an induction sound? Will a panel filter give me the same sound as a cai

Thanks

Becareful if you use a cold air feed in this weather, it may soak up water and bend your valves, been there not fun.

I have always used the cotton cone filters off ebay and they work a treat and sound brilliant

Name these people or show me these threads, you only ever hear about it there's no proof, if water was bad for the engine then why do people (like myself) use water injection? say if you did hit a massive puddle and the front of you car was submerged underwater the amount of water u would suck up would destroy the turbo causing the engine to stall so there'd no pressure to suck up water plus you would let off throttle therefor shutting the butterfly valve on the throttle body, so only a little amount of water would get through, not enough to damage your engine.

im sorry but the whole cai and sucking up water thing is rubbish if you ask me.
