Is the oversized ram air induction kit worth the extra?

[spwd]

As title I've got an option to buy a normal ram air with a small filter but should I bother, is there a noticeable difference?

[spwd]

Anyone?

Give it some time, im sure someone will reply.

I have the oversize on mine, can't fault it never tried the smaller one but can vouch for oversize. Quite loud in the sense of air intake, hope that helps in some way

Not worth it for attempting to gain noticeable power on stock turbo and just tuned. You'd be fine with just a performance drop-in filter in the oem box whether you are tuned or not. Perhaps when you get a larger turbo or have a K04 in an ED30...it is a must if tuning.

i have the smaller version. the actual filter i think is the same size, its only the pipe diameter which is larger. it only reduces down towards the throttle body anyway so i dont personally understand the point

[spwd]

Thanks for the replies guys, this is the one I can get for £115 which is pretty cheap I think, the filter looks smaller than usual to me though?

That isn't the Ramair filter people are talking about here or possibly what you thought you are going to buy....that looks like a neuspeed with a different size and shaped Ramair filter on the end.

[spwd]

Yeah I think he said it's a neuspeed, what's the difference, should I not bother then?
I'm planning on a remap at R-tech which is only about ten miles away from me  and getting them to do the pre-cat and maybe a cat back too, obviously a decat is cheaper than a sports cat but how do you get around the mot?

Not true, plenty of gains to be had at the top end even on a baby K03. Drop-in filters simply do not compare with a decent intake

Oversize every time

I've told him I've changed my mind and I'll go oversized or get a revo or something.

The oversize one has a lot of joins and looked like it would create a lot of turbulence, especially just before the MAF. Unsure if this would make any difference but it was enough to convince me to go for the standard version (plus the price difference).

Don't change your mind just because of what one or 2 people say 

That filter would do the job and is affordable.  Better that than sink £300 into a Revo, which is frankly ludicrous for a bit of drain pipe with a bit of foam on the end (but scene tax eh?), and decide you don't like the noise of an intake.  A lot of people don't, and end up going back to the factory box.  A lot of people also only care about peak hp numbers and not what happens off boost.

Thanks Pudding, I just think I can get something better for not much more money so I'm going to keep looking

Nothing is cheap in TFSI tuning land mate!
