I've got the open itg with heat sheild and don't think it's to loud to be fair. Maybe I've just used to it but then again im usually listening to my tunes on my iPod.make good power with itg installed.noticed the power difference straight away. :smiley:

....Sound and loudness is very subjective. What is one man's meat is another man's poison. The ITG open filter version is generally considered to be the loudest of all the 2.0T FSI air intakes (and to deliver the greatest gains).

And the log from the open filter.

http://u55158955@s300610021.websitehome.co.uk/UtilityImages/ITG%20open%20log.xls

again the temps were 19.5-20 degrees c.

Figures looks pretty similar to me.

Not sure if I've got time to put the stock intake back on to do a log but i guess this shows the difference between the two ITG filters.

bit worried by what hardy said now and worried I may be disappointed come dyno day at R-Tech again.

Also still have the slight whistle from 3-4k rpm  :sad1:

Jedi... mine whistles at 3500RPM... i was checking it out today after out convo. about it yesterday.  :happy2:

You can just hear it on this video when it goes over 30MPH...

Just made a couple of graphs from the data.

Not sure if they are much good and again they dont show much of a difference.

Air mass


Temperature


Remember this is without the slam panel part in place so once that arrives i'll do back to back tests again and I may even have time to stick the stock intake back on as well.

cant hear it at all on the video. I'll try to capture mine on video.

It sounded the same with either filter fitted I must admit so perhaps something in the other pipework or my turbo but I never heard it with the stock intake.

Is it? I thought it was a bit inconclusive.  :confused:

Like i said i'll run more once I have the slam panel adapter as maybe hot engine air was still getting into the enclosed filter.

Hmm very faint and sounds different to mine. Mine is more sustained.

I'll pop out in a bit and try to capture it. I might try to strap my gopro in the engine bay. Will be too dark for video  :signLOL: but it should capture the audio fine under there.

I'll then go through this thread and take all the important info a pics and do a summary with the info in the first post and rename the thread so it can be a fresh pool of info on the enclosed filter.

It may become clearer after a number of runs to see if the results are consistent.  Look forward to seeing if the adapter/ram bit gives it the edge

on that basis i'll be selling it again sharpish :)

£350 for 4bhp isnt quite what I was expecting.

I think with a stage 1 map you will not see much gain as the standard filter is still able to flow the air needed for 240bhp.
Also you need to leave whatever filter you have chosen on the car for a week and then do some more logging as the ECU needs to adapt.
I think after that you will see 250bhp.
It will be more responsive and maybe better MPG.
When I had the ITG and exhaust I was MAFing at about 330bhp and now with the Pipercross Panel its 300bhp. So you can see the gains with bigger flow.
Thats a 2+ ED30 BTW.
If you goto Stage 2 or 3 now it will make a difference but give it time to adapt.

Ok thanks.

I have left the open filter on there for now. I still need to work out why I'm getting this funny whistle and see if it can be eradicated.

My MPG seems to have dropped considerably since fitting (and no im not counting the big acceleration tests in that :) ). On my usual drive home from southend to cambridge the other night where i wasn't driving hard it only got 24mpg where i usually get 28+mpg. Hopefully this will settle after adapting?

Im due back at R-tech in a couple of weeks so hopefully it will have had plenty of time to settle. I can add power graphs and more logging runs then as well...

I guess the good result of todays test show that the smaller filter doesn't seem to loose anything in terms of air flow and temp and it obviously has the upside of looking neater and being much quieter.
