Yeah I found with my BMC CDA that it mainly improved down low turbo response but other than that and "sweet intake noise" it's about it.

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

Got mine installed in my MK6 GTD yesterday. I can definately hear more turbo spool when accelerating, and there is less turbo lag. The sound of accelerating for the first 10 mins or so is a bit noisy; but it seems to settle down after that.Comment

Just sounds like I can hear the turbo fan spinning more than before, and the CAI sucking more air in.Originally posted by poyta View Post

TDI's have a choke cycle boys, injects extra fuel / EGR flap is pulling in extra EGR to aid warmup, mine is the same, super noisy till warmed up, and it's insane when doing a regen!2014 Skoda Yeti TDI Outdoor 4x4 | Audi Q3 CFGC repower | Darkside tune and Race Cams | Darkside dump pDPF | Wagner Comp IC | Snow Water Meth | Bilstein B6 H&R springs | Rays Homura 2x7 18 x 8" 255 Potenza Sports | Golf R subframe | Superpro sways and bushings | 034 engine mounts | MK6 GTI brakes |Comment

You should hear what a regen sounds like with a downpipe. Rattling 5" Civic muffler, anyone?TR 08 Golf GT TDI, Custom Code Phase 1, Milltek Exhaust, Whiteline RSB + ALK, APR Carbonio IntakeComment

I was also quite surprised how my exhaust after the mufflerectomy sounded in regen mode.Originally posted by Greg Roles View Post2007 Black Magic VW Golf GT TDi, Latte Leather, Sunroof, Bluefin Superchip, 18" Detroits, APR lower torque arm insert, APR Carbon Fibre Cold Air Intake system, GTi sideskirts & front lip, R32 Rear Bar, GTi Steering wheel, RNS-510,Infinity BassLink Subwoofer,stubby antenna, R8 Oil Cap, Golf R front calipers, slotted front rotors, ceramic brake pads, LITEC LED tail-lights, Dension Gateway Five, Rear Emblem Reverse Camera, H&R Ultralow coil-overs, Badge-less front grilleComment

aaah!Originally posted by Greg Roles View Post
The MK2 kinda does this. There is a hose bolted to the exhaust manifold that connects to the underside of the airbox to send warm air in.
It was the first thing I deleted
I'm convinced now of de-gridding my MAF.Comment

Not really - the tdi warm up cycle actually takes exhaust gasses back into the inlet of the engine to help warm up faster. Your mk2 just takes warm air from around the exhaust pipe to help warm up faster.Originally posted by benough View Post.... its actually a good thing to keep on the old petrol cars because it gets the engine up to temp faster. Theres a flap in the bottom of the airbox that shuts the supply of warmed air off once the engine is warm, so there's no decrease in power or economy.

Right.

True but the MK2 warms up pretty quick and I always take it easy until the oil temp's up to 90.
I always understood that heater pipe thing was more for the european winters.
Also I had the oil cooler/warmer retrofitted to mine which aids warm up significantly.Comment

De-gridded my MAF today. Well, I cut it out
It does feel a touch spritely under load but there's no extra power.
Well worth the 10mins of effort

Are you running a different air intake or still stock?Originally posted by benough View PostDe-gridded my MAF today. Well, I cut it out
