Another 160 air intake thread...

[Chriswaite130]

Hi all,

A while ago it was mentioned in a thread that someone was getting a 160 air intake after getting a panel filter and remap, and someone said that it might reduce power??

Because i have a green cotton panel filter and remap and now want a 160 intake too, but not if it will take power away lol.

Iv done a search but theres no definite answer. Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

The 160 air intake is bigger....it won't reduce power if its letting more air in

 

[Chriswaite130]

Yeah thats what I thought, but when someone mentioned it could reduce power it put some doubt in my mind. Cheers though

it will reduce your bank balance a lot though £80odd for a stupid pipe

 

[Chriswaite130]

Haha yeah i know, will be looking for a second hand one though! Cant believe they've got up in price so much

i been looking for a cheap one for ages

 

[Aimez]

was £80 for me a year and a bit ago but that was as well as the green filter and postage

Keep an eye out on Briskoda too as they fit the Fabia
I have one on my car and did notice better throttle response

Some well placed drill holes in the lower part of your airbox will do more for your induction than a Cupra intake

There is one in the for sale section on here now.

 

[Chriswaite130]

Yeah i know, its sold though

just been quoted £65 quid by local dealers but thats with my 10% service plan discount

Still alot tho for some plastic pipeing! wud people say these are worth the money? im running green panel + custom code phase 1

 

[cupra.al]

gooner mike you shouldnt go drilling holes in the bottom of your airbox that will just make it louder nothing else.

Who said it would reduce power?

 

[Chriswaite130]

I cant remember who said it, but after this im guessing they were talking out their bum lol

 

[depresion]

I don't think they make a big differance, since they went up in price I probably wouldn't bother unless you can pick one up cheap second hand.

I noticed a difference with mine
I had already had it mapped , and a Pipercross air filter
But with the PD160 , it was throttle response with it
It just got to the speeds faster

I always say , if you look around and see what Induction kits cost
When you take in to account the are like an induction kit , as they allow alot more air through , then even at the full price it is not too bad
But to be fair , then when Seat have noticed that alot of people was fitting them , they put the prices up , not just by a bit , but by alot
Even though they dont cost any more to make from before , it is a bit of a rip off by Seat.....
Dont know.....
I know we worked closely with Forge to try and make one....but we could not really get a good enough production price on it
I will have to have a look to see if I can find the pics

Do you reckon i could go my local Skoda Dealer and get one? and possibly cheaper?

Or is it only Seat who actually sell them

 

[Chriswaite130]

I think they would be able to get a hold of one, but at the same price. If you do go could you let me know what they say?
