It's not that restrictive. But you can help the flow a bit with a good intake. Revo, Ramair and ITG are decent.

You'll get no more mass air with an intake if the filter inside the oem box is kept free of restriction for a oem K03. I've seen and compared log data and no more mass air was shown...and I've seen rolling road results showing the intake and exhaust are sufficient for off-the-shelf tunes.

Three pulls done for each step:
A base line was done on the RR...
Then it was stage 2 tuned and put on the RR again for a new base...
Intake was added and the RR results were the same...
Downpipe was added and the RR results still the same.

I'm currently at stage 2 with 330 BHP and OEM airbox with an ITG panel filter. The airbox isn't restricting the tune according with my tuner. It's making 1,5 bar of peak boost and 1,4 bar of stable boost.

Hello

Hoping for some recommendations for intake kit. I'm happy with car performance and sound. Original is cracked and I don't want new oem intake. My car is mapped. I don't want it to be too loud. Bit louder than original is ok. Cheers.

If you don't like a loud filter I'd say go for an enclosed filter kit.

Only decent priced enclosed one what I have found is Forge wintake, but some people say it's loud. VWR is quiet, but costs pretty much.

Doesn't feel like I'm buying Forge after reading this: http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?5938644-So-i-m-trying-to-fix-my-forge-intake-thread
Also it seems discounted.

Does anyone have experiences of pipercross venom intake kit?

It should also fit to mk5 gti.

Personally I would go with something like this as the venom will be very close to the water hoses but your choice of course.
The Ramair filter kit comes with a heat shield that looks a lot better than mine as I had two kits in one. Neuspeed P-flow pipe and a Ramair filter. sounded like darth vader but amazing.

The RamAir seems ok. I'll probaply buy one. So over sized one or normal kit? Only changes made to my golf are remap and S3 intercooler. Turbo is k03.

Over sized means more breathing and most likely a lot louder as I had the biggest one they sold  :signLOL:
Choose carefully if you don't like too much noise  :happy2:

Oversized every time.

Think of it like blowing/sucking through a straw...... The skinny one is the equivalent of sucking on a really long thin straw... Lots of effort needed to shift a small amount of air....... With a larger diameter straw you shift a lot more air with a lot less effort...... The less effort wasted here the better, especially on a small framed turbo that runs at 100% of its capability once tuned.

I'd also recommend getting your money back for the Superchips sh*te and getting a proper tune done, whether it be generic from the likes of Revo, APR etc. or a live map from the likes of R-Tech etc.

Any of them will be a LOT better than the Superchips/Bluefin sh*te
