Which Induction Kit? For a RTECH Stage 1 GTI

[GT 5IDHU]

Hi guys
I know this is probably a common question but theres a bit of a twist.

My GTI's currently in limp mode, went to the garage, turns out the sensor on top of the HPFP is cracked due to the loose engine cover!!!! Bit pissed about it as I've changed the grommets on the cover so many times and now its costing me the price of a fuel pump because the sensor cant be bought alone :/

Anyway, i want to shoot the engine cover off now to save the grief, which means an induction kit is due.
The only thing I'm worried about is that i had the car mapped at RTECH stage 1 last year with a Pipercross Panel Filter present at the time. Im wondering if installing an induction now will cause running issues or affect my power? Will this mean i have to go back to RTECH for tweaking? Also id like to know which kit you guys recommend. I have currently seen the RAMAIR normal 70mm and the oversized 90mm. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance
GT

None! Get a Celtemp HPFP cover.

Get yourself the pre-cat deleted or even better a 3'' downpipe with sports cat. Much more important than any intake.

I don't want any loud exhaust noise
Im currently running the standard system with the resonator removed and its getting a bit annoying
So youre saying theres a cover to protect the HPFP?
any links mate
thanks

A downpipe doesn't make your exhaust much louder. Taking out the resonator does.

At the moment they only have blue protection shields, I think. You can also check their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/celtempengineering/ and contact them by email: engineering@celtemp.nl.

I might have to look into that!
That would save me all the ball ache of buying an induction kit
Thanks mate!!!

Mate, a downpipe alone makes it scream once you hit boost. Im trying to decide if I even want a catback. its quiet on idle and cruising speeds but yout step it. it starts shouting for sure

Ok. I went full TBE with Powervalve system, so it only shouts when on boost. If I drive sensibly it's pretty quiet. The resonator should tame the sound a bit and drone, right? I chose the Prestige option so my resonator is a bit bigger than the Sports option.

Yeah thats it, the resonator brings the sounds down. the DSG farts on mine are ridiculous lol. Trying to choose a catback system for mine but dont want it too loud when driving around town.
Nobody wants to be that guy sitting out the traffic lights in the car that sounds like its idling at 4000rpm

I can't fault mine with noise when driving sensibly. I do know it's not the cheapest option available.

I went for a Milltek cat back non res with (currently) an OEM downpipe with the pre cat removed and I find it pretty subtle. It gets a little loud when you put your foot down but it's not chavvy.

My Mrs and 5 month old don't seem to mind it so it can't be that bad!
