What specific parts would I need for a DIY intake. I am thinking of buying the parts separate but want to make sure I am getting all the bits. I have seen some cheap induction kits going on which if not for my specific car then I presume I could use some bits which are universal and likely have to find alternative housing etc to fit in my car.

I am thinking all I need is

CONE AIR FILTER
FLEXIBLE or RIGID COLD AIR HOSING
SOME JUBILEE CLIPS
SOME MOUNTING BRACKETS
SOME SILICONE HOSE ADAPTORS

One kit I have seen is this PART NUMBER- ACCDA85-150  which looking on the site it says Universal but presume I would need to buy the relevant hosing and brackets?

I have the silicone hoses, metal pipe and modified maf housing for sale if you are interested?

Could be, you got any pics of it and even though it has probably been explained an still a bit confused what parts are what. If got your kit what extra bits would I need still?

Also how much you looking for the lot?

^^^^ with CAI's its all about the flow (so I'm led to believe) and the Forge one don't do that as well as the others, ie 2 closed canisters, 1 of which faces to the side of the car and the other filling up with all sorts of detritus from the front. Form over function IMO.

No doubt someone with a graph will come along to prove me wrong.  :laugh:

They will!

http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=9988.0



I'll raise you one there,

My own GTI ran like a sack of s### with a twintake on. Boost was all over the place. Never once consistent.

A few months later on a Dyno day I might add. We compared my own car (stock intake) on the dyno with an Audi A3 running forge twin take as well.
Both same year production, same exhausts on, both AXX engine, both DSG, Both on APR software. Mine made almost 9 kw's at the wheels more than the A3 with forge twin take.

Additionally, some logs I did early last year also indicated on my car to run way too lean and pushing the injectors out to the max.
This is the biggest issue we face running intakes on our MK5 golfs. Hence there are really on a handful that really improve and work.

As others have mentioned, Evoms, Neuspeed, VWR, ITG (the big daddy version), Volant (so far it seems to be working well)
I'm not able to provide any information about the new REVO intake. we don't have them, additionally they are way too expensive by the time we import them.
To give you an idea, at your current RRP on the Revo, by the time shipping, customs, duty and tax was to combined. We won't see much change from approx £590

btw keep up your diy videos etc, will help many a members on here

This one I have found going really cheap.

Now it says universal but is this true as in would it fit to my Golf 1.4 TSI 170 or would some things need changing/adjusting

Right took the leap, well cheap leap as decided rather than get a load of expensive stuff I would buy a few cheap bits so I can use these bits to have a go at fitting myself and seeing what it sounds like.

In the end I went and bough a cheap CARBON FILTER INDUCTION KIT for £35 which came with the air ducting, silicone adapters and some jubilee clips. I then bought an 76mm ASH 90 degree silicone hose in black for £20.

Looking at the parts I have and what I needed I have got everything.

Looking at the guide I basically just:

 - Fit initial silicone adapter to the intake pipe and place 2 Jubilee clips at either end
 - Then fit the 90 degree bend into the silicone adapter and fit another silicone adapter on the other end with 2 Jubilee clips on the new silicone adapter attached
 - Then slot the air ducting into the carbon filter with Jubilee clip and feed down behind the passenger front headlight
 - Fit other end of the carbon filter into the silicone adapter with the 2 Jubilee clips

Move around until in the right position and then tighten all Jubilee clips.

Kit is all coming at the weekend so if I have missed anything obvious please let em know as will have time to purchase it  :happy2:

Make sure you get the 2.75"/3" silicone reducer to 2.0-2.5 from intake to turbo.

Slightly confused here, my understanding is i am going to leave all the existing kit there which goes from the turbo and then i am only replacing from the intake onewards which is just above the engine in the centre.

I Believe that GLIDN is talking about the 2.0 tfsi out the gti. Just to clarify irish_ram is trying to make a kit for a gt 170 1.4 tsi.

Yes and I am only starting from the intake pipe which is roughly starts halfway across the top of the engine so and adapter and 90 hose to get round that and then an adapter at other end of 90 degree hose and straight into the carbon filter which will have the air duct pipe on the other end.

ohk, no idea where I got him wanting to get a 2.0TFSI intake. Sorry my confusion.

It means some information I provided will not be relevant to you I'm afraid. Only the 2.0TFSI owners.

In your case however, proceed. sounds like you have it all sorted.

No worries

Carbon air filter came yesterdat with some jubilee clips and air ducting hose so just waiting for my 90 degree pipe to turn up today hopefully.

However with the air filter i received an extra large jubilee clip fitted around the carbon air filter and also a flat long clip but in the instructions I have it does not mention these parts so not sure what they are for
