Induction
« on: 07 October 2013, 13:11 »
Hi guys on my mk4 1.8T, I have put a Pipercross panel filter in the original air box. Now don't get me wrong I know these don't add power but the extra throttle response has been good.
Now what can I do to take this further? I would like a little roar but don't want to get a universal as it'll suck in hot air. A friend said about drilling a few holes in the air box?
I thought about getting induction pipes?
I'm a bit of a junior in this department can someone help me by explaining any personal experiences?
Or any advice and links to some of these parts?
Thankyou

The gains from drilling the airbox are minimal.  I would invest in getting a remap personally.

Oh yeah, didn't see the re map on the bottom of the page. I don't think drilling the airbox would give you much roar to be honest. Give it a go though.

Go for a cold air induction kit. You can pick one up on ebay for around £50 but replace the cone filter for a decent one when you can afford to as the ebay ones go rusty. If you haven't already got one, you should be running an uprated diverter valve with the map as the standard one will fail after a while.

If you get both of these you will hear lots of nice sound effects :smiley:

I've got a carbon fiber pipercross viper induction kit on mine gives a nice roar when you boot it :grin: Pretty cheap as well but I know a lot of the boys on here have started fitting the s2000 cone air filter.
