BSH True Seal Intake
« on: November 11, 2009, 10:18:12 am »
I'm just curious as to why people are not considering the BSH True Seal Intake along with the new Forge Twintake and the ITG?

From my research it has a lot going for it and can be had at a significantly cheaper price than the ITG and probably the Forge as well.

 - It has 67mm ID piping throughout
 - MAF placement is the same as stock
 - Short intake pipe meaning the air has less bends to negotiate and not as far to travel
 - Sealed RAM style intake with the true seal box using the OEM position
 - Integrated bung for remotely loacated DV (Dubtek will provide people with a silcone reducer for this to fit the OEM DV hoses)
 - Great results and review from testing with it in the US

Going on the above I have decided to order one and will do a write up of the installation and review of how it performs including extensive logging.

I Agree, my reason was was because I spent weeks trying to get details from BSH about this kit at the start of the year to get info on fitment for K04 based cars, but never got a response (this was before dubtek became a BSH dealer).

So this is why I went with ITG  :happy2:

x2, I bought the EVOMS because at the time ITG or Forge Twintake wasn't available  :smiley:

I am soon to be importing a batch of these if anyone is interested. I cant say too much as im not listed as a trader as of yet but i will be happy to answer any quesstions privatly.

On a personal note from my point of view i rate the BSH on the k03 AND k04 , i run the kit on my k04 and its flawless and looks and fits nice. feel free to ask any questions here about the kit (not selling)

....

Aren't the EVOMS, VF, Neuspeed, and BSH intakes all very similar to each other? Apart from perhaps differences in their MAF housing measurements.

They all have heat shielding around the open filter but I question how effective any of their shielding methods are when compared with a fully enclosed filter.

The kit comes with a blank off bung for the remote DV pipe, you dont need to do anything other than fit the bung on your k03 car .

cheers

I had no problems getting replies from Dubtek when talking to Ben via email.  You can contact them on sales@hosesolutions.org.uk.

@ Robin - the BSH is different from the Nuespeed etc because the tray is actually sealed against the bonnet.

The heat shielding is in effect the same as a sealed airbox, what you lose in not having it 100% sealed off you gain from it not being right next to the engine... swings and roundabouts.

This of course only matters when standing still, ramming air into either will instantly cool them down, as plastic is a terrible heat conducter.
Sideways yo!

....No communication problems so far with Ben @ Dubtek from me either.

Theoretically I thought that all those I listed are supposed to seal against the bonnet. I doubt if it's a good seal against a carbon bonnet or one without a bonnet lining. And we all know what I feel about blocks of foam tacked on.

Although incredibly expensive, the GruppeM intake probably captures the most air and seals it the best from the engine bay.
