Excuse me for digging up an old post.


....No excuse needed for revitalising an old thread: Reviews are ongoing  :happy2:

I don't know the answer to your question though.

You don't need a remap. You won't get an error.

I do however recommend one ;)

Does anyone know how much the filter spray is for the ITG?  Im going to clean mine this week along with checking the condition of my MAF as I just logged a fairly low 245 max g/s

Thanks for the replies guys, didnt want to go ahead and buy one and fit it, just to have to take it off again because of error codes etc. I've come from a Honda and had an ITG fitted and got good gains. I'm definetly going to get a remap at a later date, but for now I presume the stock ECU will adjust to the extra air flow in time?

Thanks Again  :happy2:

Finally have this fitted after a lot of  :fighting2: is it normal for it to start sucking up air as soon as you apply gas and as soon as you let go it makes a hiss sound. Almost like a blow off valve?

Just one further question ... does fitting this mean I need to leave my engine cover off? Trying to keep it looking stock to stop the ball-and-chain realising!  :evilgrin:

Yes, you have to lose or cut to modify the engine cover for it to fit.  :smiley:

Sorry for digging up a really old thread!

Thinking about getting one of these soon for my GTI, how is everyone getting on with them now they've had them on their cars a while?

Also any videos of sound?

Thanks a lot! Also cheers for the original review SteveP, very helpful  :happy2:
