Ok so I have built mine but decided to make an enclosed version.

Here is a close up of the maf housing cut out.



And here is the filter assembled.

Just need to find the time to fit it to the car.

That looks smart, I found my old bmc cda from the mk4 the other day so I'll be using that much like you've done! :)

£66+VAT so £79.99, reducers are about £20-£30. Really good intake just been mapped stage 2 with it

Brilliant write up :)

couldn't agree more on the not wanting to spend £400 on a bit of bent tube and a filter  :stupid:

Filters are rated to air flow, the ram air one i had is rated to 400bhp,

the rcm one will be a fortune,

you can buy green air filters or bmc which the lcr mk1 guys used but they will restrict the flow higher up the rev range,

the car will only take as much air as it can

Yeah got a few already buddy
Yes I know there rated but think this is on a 850 hp subi but seen them on 350 hp scoobs and all the way inbetween once the cars maf less
So all I wanted to know was if vw mags can handle high flow or do they go pop like the subi aquivalent ?

Thinking of making one off these intakes, but was wondering if anyone has had good results with them?

Never measured the results but i made one like this last month, cost about £115 all in and probably took 3 hours from start to finish... depends what you're after i guess, i just wanted to help it breath a little better with some sort of noise.
Plus i'm a tight @rse :)
