Any chance of a recording to hear it?

I don't have a very good recorder and how to I upload it to here?

If you don't have your own hosting you can email me the file and I can upload it somewhere for you



I have one on order now too... will see if I can put together a walk through when I put it in (including some more sound recordings)

Can second the sound being nice and throaty. Installed mine yesterday and have had no radio and windows down to hear that noise

[Ryan_R]

Even a video uploaded to YouTube would do if you're into that sort of thing. You could record it from outside the car and inside with a phone camera I guess.

Looking forward to that, Aaron.



I'm slightly tempted to look at an intake/exhaust but don't want something too loud or 'hoon-ish' - I don't want to spoil the 'sleeper' attributes of my car.

You better not get CAI then

I've got a cat back system and the forge intake and it gets a lot of attention now especially underground car parks.lol.

If you want nice hp gains get a S3 cooler for it.

I wouldn't mind a nice rumble, I'm just trying to get a feel for the volume I guess

I was searching YouTube two days ago for some videos, some sounded pretty, good, others were a bit too noisy.

i.e. - VWTSIDSG's Channel - YouTube

Have noticed a drop in fuel consumption -0.5l per 100km on )the short term and .2l per 100km (8.7l/100km) on the long term meter- with normal driving style with some spirited acceleration Mt .
An very impressed at this stage.

[Ryan_R]

I reset my stats on Wednesday, have done some spirited driving + FWY to/from work and was surprised to see my average read 6.5 - I've never got the long term average as high as 8 before. The Stage 1 really does help once you settle down.

[bugsalanko]

I think the traffic I sit in to and from Uni (4 days a week) kills the consumption something chronic so hoping to see an improvement as I put more Km's in the engine. It used to sit around high 9's until about the 9000km mark and have only just ticked over 13 000km today.

Hi everyone!
I hope someone will see this thread after all these years. I own a 2011 118tsi and am looking for a CAI and an s3 intercooler. Unfortunately Rennenhaus has closed down and i dont know where to go for the forge CAI in Australia. Does anyone know where in Australia i can buy an s3 intercooler and a CAI?
Thanks
Harry
