Hi guys,
Just bought this kit of eBay - it was cheap and good-ish looking.
I was after induction sound without spending lots of money. Also wanted to keep the engine covered.
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Ftt159%2Fkrzysiekring%2F20160701_151701.jpg&hash=9de8e02a4f72ad7aa6a2a22e7fd5443747d90eb7)
Question is - will installing it this way and removing panel filter (so the air box is still there but nothing in it) cause any issues?
-
Only real way to know is to try it tbh. Looks okay.
-
Yes I know... already did it lol
Seems ok tbh...
Car picks up bit higher in revs.
Sound... hmmm... not much difference there, apart from a little whistle in the low rpm range. I guess its not a proper induction kit ;(

Sorry??? picks up higher revs??? Do you means it sounds like it's revving alot more than usual??? or as in picks up speed?
-
No, I mean it pulls/accelerates later in revs.
Where before it pulled nice in region of 2.2 k, now it is more 3k revs?

I have a dsg 55 reg and when I fitted an induction kit in it would rev high and kick in late as if I had a clutch slip and couldn't fathom it out so returned back to ugly box and all is well again. wanted to keep the kit badly but I got P***** off with it and sold it off for £130 lol neuspeed P-flow pipe and Ramair huge filter sounded awesome too. Darth vadar style :signLOL:

Whossssshhhh... lol

:signLOL: Yeah love it. will be getting a ram aor kit next. ebay and make um an offer :happy2: if it's 180 offer 150 I gave 33 for an overy sized filter which was priced at £45 :wink:
-
Might get mine back to stock box.
Really wanted that induction noise... but do I really benefit with stock car?
Any other way you can hear turbo/induction noise more?

There is but I wouldn't recommend it as I bought a blow off valve that fits before the DV and that gives off a psssssht whooosh sound but was told not to do it as it will cause issues so got a GFB valve instead. Is yours a manual transmission?
-
Its manual...
I had a S14 SX200 before and it was very easy to get it sound cool. Cone filter, blow off valve and off you goooo. Bit different with VW ;-)

I hate the gti as I had a tt before this and it was a beast. 80mm Badger 5 turbo rip, cone filter and away you go. whoosh whoosh and more bhp too proven. This dsg is a pain in the :booty: but soon to have an exhaust filter kit fmic upgrade hpfp upgrade dependent on seller, possible S3 injectors and a stage 2 if all goes well :smiley:
-
Bloody hell mate... sounds like big upgrade :) Good luck with that!
Not saying it is a bad car... more civilised I think is the word. Different with the way it delivers power. SX was like... nothing, nothing, nothing and booom it goes :) fun!!! GTI is more obvious, controlled.
Got it to accomodate the family ;) And it fits good...

My old mates had a few s13's and one had the s14 and they are 200 bhp fun motors to drive as we started modyfing them with induction and fmic parts but then I cut them off as they were evil barstuards and I'm lucky I realised lol
I also got the golf to accommodate family and it's not a great car imho as I was going for the R but people let me down and I got desperate for no apparent reason :doh: :slap: :slap: for me. I love my quattro cars.

Don't need injectors until going for a much bigger turbo
