universal induction kit and 1.8T

[Barry.L]

im looking to get a universal induction kit from the likes of jetex or green as induction kits made specific are a rip off imo. has anyone actually fitted a universal kit to there 1.8T and were there any problems? i know the maf is sensitive, but i can't be spending £100+ when you can pick up universal cones off jetex, for example, for as little as £30. any thoughts?

You'll still need a heatshield for it mate otherwise it'll be sucking in cold air.

Spend the xtra quid

 

[Barry.L]

yeah i can make a heatshield no probs.

you can also buy Green ones for same kinda money.
70mm neck size and bung it on for el-cheapo install.

support it a bit tho to stop it flappin.. maf wont like that

heat shield it too to avoid hot air being drawn in..

You mean hot air?

I have some shabby universal stainless steel thing fitted to mine atm, no heat shield, it can't be doing much good in the heat wave we're having. I'm reverting back to an air box with green panel and modifying it.

cheers, i guess id have to make some sort of bracket for it. do you think the maf will cause me probs?

 

[TimD]

Ps. Bill what setup do you use on the race car?

 

[ibizacupra]

i use a Dynatwist XXL, currently with the shield thing off it. big arse cone filter essentially.

Seen as someone has fitted a carbonio kit, any reason why one of these wont go on..?

for the modified are you just smoothing out the insides and making the feed pipe bigger? where is the best place to fit the bigger inlet pipe, in the front (underneith/ beside the intercooler or in the origional position?

i can see why people might fit a carbonio, but that thing looks awful.

Bill, would you say the standard airbox is restrictive in anyway?

with enlarged intake, no its fine. stick a decent panel filter and large intake pipe.
Adequate for most bolt ons I think inc some Eliminators

 

[Barry.L]

well ive just ordered a universal fit cone from jetex for the measly sum of £39. guess i better get hold of some metal to make a heat shield.

Has anyone who has a 'Modded Airbox' with CAI got much dumpage noise?

 

[flashbsd]
