Finally got around to fitting the BSH/Std maf Intake today after a series of hangovers and the cold weather had put me off for a few weeks.
Just a bit of extra trimming of the original airbox and a bit of 70mm silicone hose was required. All of an hours work that i have been putting off for a long time now
A home made heat shield from the previous Leon was added and some heat reflective tape that i borrowed from work. The BSH airbox could maybe do with a second cold air feed which I'm going to look into. Im not convinced the single cold air supply that the BSH uses is enough for these engines.
It looks better than i thought it would. Its SO quiet too, just what i was after. There is slightly more turbo whistle at 4k and a bit more growl from about 5K onwards.
Hardly any noise at all when letting off the gas either, which was a pleasant surprise. Just the one very quiet 'tshhh' when forced at about 4K.
It feels a fair bit quicker on the road but there is never going to be a huge gain with stock software.
All ready for Revo Stage 2+ now Wehey!
The software was paid for a couple of weeks ago when the Revo offer was on . . . . just got to get my lazy bones up to PDT now and see what she's capable of.
