ITG maxogen - new enclosed filter information.

[jedi-knight83]

Oh you got the enclosed bit too?

How did you get yours?

Apparently it's the front part of the mk6 intake

Picked it up today. All looks good.

Dropped ITG as soon as I saw Pirelli08's thread.  Spoke to them nicely and they were very helpful.   

For anyone else the part numbers to change from open maxogen to cannister type are:

ARAB65/84XL filter

STAB99 air filter housing

STAB99VWRCAISSPA slam panel adapter

Modified STAB99VAGTSIMB mounting bracket assembly.

Let us know what you think when you've fitted it   

Which part is the modified mounting bracket assembly you mention. I've not really had chance to get it all out the box even yet.

Althought the seller did point out a hole on the bottom of the filter enclosure that he presumed was for mounting on the mk6?

Can I ask aswell how much you were charged for the extra canister and bits?

Parts supplied



The modified bracket comes with a rubber strap, pictured in the centre of the photo. 


The cannister smaller diameter downstream of the filter sits in the half moon shape bracket and is fastened to the threaded insert just to the front left of the battery box.

Bracket attached here.  Sorry for the poor photo



Hope this helps

I think you did alright there for both options.

I have just emailed ITG to see when its released otherwise I may just buy the parts seperately.

I am not sure the size of filter will matter upto a point?

I could be wrong.

The noise levels of the 'standard' Maxogen is far too much for me.

You did well to get both in the deal.

I don't want to know but did you get them for a good price too?

£350 for both which is a tad more than a brand new itg on its own. I had set a max budget of £270 for an intake but its practically new and i was curious about the new part so figured it was worth the bit extra.

Well its absolutely chucking down with rain and forecast shows heavy rain all day so not alot of hope of getting it fitted today.

Does anyone know a step by step guide to logging the maf / intake temps etc?

IE...

1. plug in vag com and start car
2. log these blocks..
3. do a 0-80 run through gears

etc etc?

Happy to provide all the data i can to compare set ups vs stock etc.

What's the part in the bottom plastic bag? Not sure I've been given that part

Bit of flexi conduit, goes over one of the coolant hoses, see photos.  One of the hoses nearly touches the support bracket.  This just stops it rubbing through

Blocks 003 (for intake air mass + overall timing) and 004 (for intake temp).
You need to do a third or fourth (preferable) gear pull from around 2k rpm to red line when logging.

....I did the same to protect a hose from my aluminium engine cover. If not protected it's surprising how quickly it can rub through and that could be with disastrous consequences.

Well it cleared up enough for me to fit the itg. I got impatient and ended up doing it at my girlfriends :)

I couldn't get the canister to fit at all. Not sure exactly which hose needs adjusting but I gave up with that for now till I can work it out properly and just fitted the open filter.

Should be a fun drive home later for sure.

If you don't mind me asking, how much for these parts from ITG?

just got home and ive got to say i dont mind the open itg filter noise.

for the first 5-10 mins when the engine is cooler it seemed louder and maybe because i was part throttle around town but then full throttle and motorway speeds you cant tell much difference in noise

Only think was i seem to have a bit of a whistle (like a harmonica noise) for a few hundred rpm when pulling hard. Is this normal?

In terms of performance it seems alot stronger at the top end :)

Thinking of my failed attempt to fit the enclosed canister im pretty sure i have the wrong slam panel adapter (guy i bought it from had it on an A3). It doesnt fit well at all.

Also I still cannot work out which hoses I'd need to shorten to enable the canister to sit low enough?

Is the whistle around peak torque levels? So about 2800RPM? Mine whistles and its stock intake

i'll check tomorrow.

sounds like someone inhaling through a harmonica. not the nicest noise tbh. The rest of the whooshing and sucking I dont mind.

I know what you mean, I had a K&N Typhoon do that sound, removed with in a week. Installed a Twintake last week. Still have the same issue. Which means back to OEM intake for again. I guess I will end up with a Carbonio now.

Just been and had a look again and I can see which pipe you mean now from this image..



Mine wasnt actually touching there and infact mine already seems quite short and out the way.

It seemed to be touching more on the larger pipes underneath?
