Air intake for gti

[jcg1]

Hi guys,
My GTI has APR chip and about to get the APR exhaust but also need air intake system.
Which one have you guys used and how much.
How does the system in the link below work?? has anyone used it?

I want good flow and want a bit more induction sound.

[stephen8512]

the intake isn't going to give you that deep induction sound you're looking for when u put your foot down..
all ur gonna get is a "whoosh" like a vacuum sucking in air and when u let go of the pedal it'll sound a little like a blow off valve u hear in JDM cars "shhhhhhh"

I have a neuspeed P-flo and i'm pretty happy with it. I was going to get the EVOMS intake as I had ordered an EVOMS engine cover as well but delivery was taking too long from parts4euro and they kept fking around with me (p.s never dealing with these guys again....bunch of stooges) so I cancelled and bought the P-flo instead from Ian from rennehaus (p.s highly recommended)

Why not go for the carbonio intake from APR at the same time as the exhaust upgrade?

because carbonios dont give you any increased performance - its a known fact.

the tsi carbonios are different however.

[stephen8512]

carbonio replaces the OEM air duct.....thats it. You change your OEM plastic to a pretty little carbon fibre piece which doesn't give u any increase in performance. all it's really good for is engine bay bling

Any noticable differences with the P-flo?

I was led to believe that the APR carbonio setup was more than just a carbon filter cover and provided small gains in power.

its not even a filter cover!

just a replacement of the OEM plastic air scoop as stephen mentioned. it does not replace the actual intake pipe and still utilises the stock filter position and replaces the stock filter when an aftermarket panel filter.

its also been known to melt a little too. have a search on vortex and golfmkv.

Not trying to cause a fight, just what i found.


Also found EVO-MS do a intake setup for the MkV

And the neuspeed one:

It feels a bit more responsive. Not as sluggish when I put the foot down. Until I get an ecu reflash and full exhaust and a tune, the intake probably won't give me that much of an increase in power, if any, in stock form.

considered a BMC filter option?

CDA or DIA kit?

Hi jcg1

If youre interested in the Evoms intake I can take you for a ride in my car so you can get an idea of how it sounds. As mentioned above it gives you a bit of a turbo whooosh without going as far as having a full ricey flutter. I noticed a nice healthy gain when I added it to my car but my tune is different to yours.

[kryten2001]

Personally I'm getting to the stage where if I don't personally see gains on a graph (ie on the same dyno), using the original as a control, then I don't believe it. Some of the figures and stories I've read and seen over the last few months leaves me a little jaded.

Too many stories with nothing to back them up, and too much of a placebo affect in my opinion. If I see real scientifically measured gains, then I'm all for it.

Plus A kW or two just aint worth the pain, especially when there's so many other factors involved which make far more of a greater change in engine output (input air temp, humidity etc etc etc)....

And if you just do it to make the car sound rice, then you're being a bit of a :

Not meant to solicit trouble, just my opinion. Unless I see it, scientifically, I don't believe it - and when it comes to CAI's, I've not seen it.

Whatever you decide to do, make sure it's not sucking hot engine bay air, as all you have done is reduce the performance, especially while sitting at the lights in summer. From my testing it takes several minutes of non stop driving to get rid of about 2 minutes of idling temp increase across the intercooler.

Bah Humbug Most of the factory intakes do this anyway.

My TSI has a hole that I can stick all my fingers in on one side, 3 fingers on the other and I can't get to the hole underneath the intake coupling (between the grille & start of the intake).

At the lights I doubt it draws ANY air from outside...

I'd be more concerned about heat soak through the induction pipe and the filter canister myself. My 2c.
