Intake waste of money?

I'm a bit concerned about the sound of mine (Forge Twintake) it just sounds like a boost leak

Yeah can defo hear it. Not too overly loud though. And check all clamps are done up tight and if they are then all good  also check the very end one deep down the back of the engine as some people don't seat them flush properly.

There's a Wanted section in the forum. Not here.

How are you getting on with your VWR intake?   Did you experience the 500rpm drop in spool up as claimed?

I'm liking the intake. It sounds good and I didn't notice any problem with it. It helps on higher RPMs and the spool comes up sooner, yes. Check the dyno comparison:


I still would like to do a dyno like the engine is running at the moment, without the octane booster and without the lightweight engine pulley. Just to check the differences.

Hmmmmm...... my credit card is going to get seriously bashed this month.  I can feel it smouldering already!

[Shoduchi]

After removing the lightweight engine pulley I do notice the engine a bit more sluggish to respond to the throttle. I have to test the car now. I know the peak power is the same but the AUC might have changed a bit on the lower RPM.

Decided that I am removing mine and going back to the Stock Air-Box. Just ordered a VWR Panel Filter.

Removing your VWR intake?  How come?

I did consider a panel filter, but hmmmmm, I dunno.  I really don't like oiled filters causing MAFs to misread     Is the VWR a dry filter or oiled?

[bonelorry]

Mine is a Revo Intake, I am not going beyond Stage 1 so it is not required.

Is this for sale mate?

I know its an old thread! but I've read through the post and still have a question.

I appreciate the standard filter will be a limitation on stage 2, but if the car has all the hardware for stage 2 and a remap to suit for stage 2, is there any significant limitation power wise by keeping the standard airbox. I just dont like darth vader in the glovebox.

My Ed. 30 with stage 2+ parts fitted couldn't make more than 330 BHP with an OEM airbox and a VWR panel filter using 98 octane petrol. Using a octane booster it made 335 BHP. With the same octane booster and changing to the VWR intake it made 355 BHP. No change on the tune for that, it was just the OEM airbox restricting the top power. Later with the same hardware but no octane booster and a new tune the engine made 367 BHP. That's my personal experience.

Thanks for that so it does restrict thats clear and what I expected just by how much.. Maybe I will just see what he driveability is like under the 2. I just don’t think a filter is for me.

This will be on a KO3 don’t think I mentioned above.
