induction kits and cold air feeds..

[jamest87]

Ive looked and looked for the right induction kit.. I have a mk4 ibiza fr and am thinking the next step is a induction kit.. Ive had a look on the web for some and i have a rough idea but im just want to make shore i get the right one.. Im doing this because of the air flow system witch im not too shore on.. Sorry if this has been talked about before but i cant find anything and the stuff i have found is for the leon.. Your help will be much appreciated..

Look in the FAQs section and read the PD160/Green cotton filter thread. Lots of folks on here run this setup instead of an induction kit. As do I! You can mod your airbox and see similar gains to an induction kit TBH.

Don't know of many people who have inductions kits because of where the airbox it it would just suck in more hot air, they sound ace had one before on my last petrol car. But not much point in sucking in hot air IMO so I went with the PD160 larger air intake and green cotton panel filter cost £80 including delivery.

does anyone know where i can get an airbox so i can smooth it and not have to worry about warranty in case my car sucks up water?

I'd go to a scrappys rather than a dealer

I've went from a Green Panel filter and smoothed airbox to a open cone filter and I much prefer the open cone filter.

my local scrappys dont have modern cars annoyingly,does anybody know how much they would be from the dealers?

why do you prefer the cone filter? as im considering that option too.

 

[Damoegan]

Better sound from induction and lounder DV sound.

I personaly think it flows better too.

Here is my open cone filter

did you ever try your tip with your smoothed airbox out of intrest?

Yep, open cone filter feels better to me though...

I'm not sure about getting a cone filter..the full Milltek makes quite alot of noise already and don't want it to be over the top

how were the sounds with the smoothed airbox and tip? im still considering the filter but id like my car mapped first as i put a filter on my old car and could get it to bang (explode) in the cat or manifold and i dont think it done it any good.

Thats just not going to happen with any vag engine mate. My car was mapped with standard DV, airbox and filter on.

With TIP and smoothed airbox the turbo whistle sounded louder but with the open cone everything sounds much better.

nice one cheers,it wasnt a vag engine but i believe it broke up the cells in the cat eventually as the power would pause somtimes at certain revs. that is reasureing to know though although i didnt expect it on my old car it did take along time to happen but i beleive what your saying to be true

 

[kriso]

Sounds like it may have been over-fuelling. But as Damo says, it won't happen in a VAG turbo-ed engine. Too many sensors to stop that

thanks or the information lads. i know you was saying to get a panel filter. I was thinking of taking the front right fog light out and putting the inlet there... I see what you mean about the panel filter i will give that a go.. I know of someone that has the same car as me and will see what he has...thanks to everyone didnt think so many people would reply..thanks

 

[jamest87]

thanks for the help lads.. I was thinking of taking the front right fog light out and putting the inlet there.. I know someone that has the same car as me so in going to try and have a word with him and see what he has.. I think i will try a panel filter i might see if i can get one today!!! So to be clear is that a panel filter would be easyer then trying to fit a induction kit????.. thanks for the help though

Here is my open cone filter

does it not suffer from heat soak???. Nice car though mate...
