BSH True Seal Intake

[MAT ED30]

u could always cut a hole in it and put a cold air feed in it from the fog light area

damn, my plan has been foiled ! lol this is what im doing 

hurry up and get them in as i want one

....The BSH shield cradle is perfect for it!

Would be interesting to compare logs/dyno/whatever for with and without the extra air from below.

You could go one step further and make a carbon 'lid' for the cradle.

I was given one of these Pipercross cold air feeds, took me all of 5 minutes to fix it behind the open grill and feed it up to the airbox. No cutting or removal of fogs required - bingo! You'd get the same with some ducting and some venturi ends off the 'net.

You can see it on the RHS one.

i have some of that pipe mate  and thats how mine will look

Mine would have to be more fancy and expensive : -

....Yep, that's the one  

As Dolly Parton says: "It costs a lotta money to look this cheap!"

I'm gagging for justification to put one of those carbon inlets somewhere. I wonder if I could duct feed extra to the side filter box on the Forge Twintake.

But re the BSH, it's a winner for cost effectiveness. But will it shift enough air efficiently enough to satisfy the more heavily modded K04 brigade? (just querying it). As jonnyc says: You don't want to be working things at their limit - Better to have plenty of headroom. < Ambitious bhp chasing Cupra boyz take note.

The intake is supplied with BSH's Work of Art Turbo Kit which seems to be good for up to and above 500 BHP

....Then certainly no worries there!

Yep and Im pretty sure Jonny is using one of these on his car judging by the photos in his build thread

....Yes but AFAIK he's planning to use a Forge Twintake (or custom variant) with the Arty turbo kit, not the BSH intake.

I,m in the process of this at the moment.. I'm modifying the inlet duct around the headlight and directing air  to it from a modified  lower grille .Not that it need's it mind....

....Aahaaa! Very interesting!

So as I understand it, you're modifying the Twintake's 'headlight area' duct and then directing air to it via a hose(?) from a modified lower grille?

And when you say "modified lower grille" do you mean foglight grill or lower full frontal grill below the numberplate?

ITG's tech-head Andy tells me that the best place of all to feed from below is in the lower centre grill rather than the foglight grill where air has begun to slip sideways unless you have a NACA duct to help capture it.

I'd be very interested to learn what you've done when completed, as I expect others would too.

Cheers, I'm still interested.

I guess that the extra intercooler fits too close to the back of the grill. Twintercooler?

Would love to see pics of your fabrication mod to the Forge kit in due course. From what I've seen of the Twintake you could simply leave off the shaped metal end piece and attach your round duct hose from below directly to the short straight round section immediately before the filter box. But important to put mesh in the front inlet below to reduce debris.

@ monkgti and john_o :

I've got some info to possibly interest you from Mike @ Forge across the pond - It's actually easier to get responses from the USA than Forge UK!

Rather than post in this BSH thread, I've done so in the Twintake discussion thread here : -
