RacingLine TFSI intake kit for K03/K04
pudding:
Can't do much about the ugliness of a pipe with a red sock on the end, but the construction quality and the intelligence to use a flex coupling and original mounting points = aces of basses :happy2:
By the way, ECS do a black version, and also an enclosed carbon airbox version of that intake for better looks.
Shoduchi:
I really like the look of the enclosed intake sold by ECS Tuning and made by Kohlefaser Luft-Technik.
As I said before, I like this enclosed intake from HG Motorsport, but very expensive too :sad1: :

pudding:
Yep both great intakes :happy2:
One small problem with both though.....they draw air in through the tiny letter box opening, which is not sufficient at high rpm. With the ECS one, I would feed a 3" duct from the fog light grille into the bottom of it for more air flow :happy2:
Shoduchi:
Not sure if the area of that scoop is smaller than the intake tube section. :thinking:
Are you sure it isn't enough? What's the size of the TTRS intake scoop for the OEM air box which is perfect for our engines to work at +400 bhp?
pudding:
Pretty sure the cross sectional area of that rectangle is smaller than a 3" pipe. Remember the OEM intake doesn't draw all it's air in through that rectangle opening. There's a big hole (snow/water drain) underneath where it draws the bulk of it's air in.
Colesey on here blocked off that hole so that it pulled all of the air in through the letter box, and he said the engine felt less responsive. That's how I know :wink:
With an additional cold air supply from underneath, the airbox would have plenty of air volume for the engine to draw in :happy2:
