Hi everyone. I'm putting in the forge twintake on my ED30. But I am not sure about the install direction of the carbon cannister.
According to Forge's offical guide:
During installation, the filter cannisters should be oriented such that the end of the filter as seen through the
opening of the cannister is pointed outwards and is attached to the respective inlet duct. The larger open end
of the filter should be attached to the piping. If the filter cannisters are ever removed, they must be
reinstalled in their original orientation, otherwise reversal of the direction of airflow through the filter
element may dislodge any previously caught debris that could then enter the intake tract and turbo.Therefore, the direction should be like the picture shown below:
But according to RedRobin's review post:
http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,9988.0.htmlThe carbon cannister is installed the opposite way against the offcial guide. Picture as shown below:
RedRobin also mentioned
^ IMPORTANT NOTE: This is the delivery end of the filter and is contrary to the common practice of narrow circumference of filter at suction end. which is the way he installed.
I also had a look of the Forge official guide AUDI S3.
It NOTED: During installation, the filter canisters should be oriented in the reverse to ‘normal’ i.e. the open end of the filter is attached to the respective inlet duct and the pointed end of the filter is attached to the pipework. This is the recommendation from the filter manufacturers themselves, and supposedly aids flow through the canister.So this sounds like the same way as RedRobin.
Now I am totally confused. Can anyone please tell me which way is the correct way. Much appreciated!
