ITG intake fitted
« on: February 25, 2012, 12:55:47 pm »
Just finished fitting my itg intake. Can feel the difference over the Carbonio which the car came with.

All went well apart from cracking my engine cover when removing it  :ashamed:

Sweet but you need to realign your oil cap if it's not loose.

its a kind of squeak/whistle high pitched noise

It might be the sound of the turbo spooling up. I had a high pitch squeel when I had my intake fitted when under wide open throttle.

well i can hear the turbo spooling up much louder now even when just feathering the throttle at a steady tow speed. i get a slight whoosh when lifting off too which i would have expected and don't mind but the squeal is a bit much.

I've had a look on a few forums and its a pretty common topic but i didn't expect the VWR/ITG intake to sound this 'unrefined' especially with it being a closed air box type.



i bought it used so decided to take it off and clean and oil it today anyway
