you will get minimal gain in power and noise level using that intake!

IMO all the gains are due to the better panel filter that's used with the carbon intake.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
exactly.

What is your budget, let u sknow how much you have/want  to spend, and we'll sure as hell point you at the best option for you(in our own opinion o course)

you say you want sound and gains, then its simpl, you need an induction kit

what is your budget.  the carbon intakes cost a wedge for pretty much hardly ay return.  iirc dubtek ive recently read on here that dubtek does the BSH intake for £150.  thats very good value, considering you will get some good gains and the noise

We have a full induction kit (cai) in our clearance bin. Comes with silicon hese and replaces everyting from the turbo to the cold air feed with an aluminium 2.75" mandrel bent intake tube. We had it in for testing on a car and has seen around 3 hours of dyno use.

Sounds very very nice (if you liked the sound of the BMC) and will cost you just £60 + delivery. Showed a gain of 12bhp on a Revo stage 1 200hp TFSi Golf GTi

I am on 07917 166707 if anyone wants it  :happy2:

OP-So the Bmc was a good choice on ur experience?
Just noise or gains in power too?

The problem with the BMC kit for the TFSI is that it just clips on to the original airbox. The airbox is the restriction, so it just adds a restriction onto a restriction!

i want a nice sound without scaring the crap out of the grannies as i drive past them,nor do i wanna be mistoooooken for a old fart chav trying to regain his youth via a flash motor!
i,m trying to get the pod on the 11th to find the right system for me.
thanks for the input sorry to jack the thread.

what is the blow off valve/diverter valve?#

I dont think these you tube vids sound anything like the actual intakes.  the evoms sounds good and gives good gains. you cant go wrong with it.   if you want sound, any open filter will give you sound. 

Blow off valves/diverter valves sound chav from my experience(and of course is just my opinion).   

I had the forge spacer on my car for a few months before i removed it, as it was just plain embarrassing having it whooshing like hell even when driving real slow around town.  The ITG gave a more classy whoosh, and only when i was 'making progress'which suited me. The D revison Oem diverter valve will be more than up to the job of handling an tuning on the car
