the ko3s is bigger its the one you get on the 180bhp golfs us 150bhp boys have ko3

No the 150bhp golf's have K03s too. K03s only has a slightly bigger compressor wheel and stronger actuator, nothing else. It's physically the same size

For a cheap mod I got a spare air box, and basically chopped off the bottom part around the inner wing at battery. PiperX panel filter.
Logged through VCDS it pulled an extra 8g/s and no increase in heat.

Sounds great now. Loads is spool and dump noise.

I also think that the std intake is too restrictive. Even with the DSG mod it's pulling air through an awkward route. So I use it more as a cold air feed.

That sounds a plan actually. So just whip the airbox off and chop a big hole in he bottom?

But you still need to spend £40 odd on a decent panel filter, have a search on here for what others have done, a cone on the end of the MAF will give you the noise you want, but you'll need to shield it from the heat of the engine and provide a cold air feed to it
