Intake Restrictions tested

[Eddy]

Even the same dyno wont give you the same hp reading. With at the most a 1kw gain from the seat intake... I doubt you will see much from a dyno sheet.

Hoyhoy.
Kai, he did say that he was going to do more testing of the system after fitting the seat intake, then the after dyno, so give him a break.

There is no harm in trying. and you pay the one fee so why not.

[Timbo]

Great to see someone's on to the case.

I think what Kai was alluding to is that a dyno might not be the best way to measure the effect of this mod. I hesitate to comment ANY further but there are factors like heat soak and low airflows that may mean a dyno shows little. But, like everyone, I await the results..!

i know what he ment mate, but the decision is entirely up to Al, I am going to get vagcom and use it on eddys car, in both chipped and stock mode and then add the seat air intake and the forge tip on it. SO with what Al gets in the way of info and eddy and i we will get a good idea.

Edit - if the dyno operator is like mine and they arent busy Al should go for a drive when he puts it on to see if the ecu will lean at all and also to cool everything down

Shane, while we're at it we might as well do a panel filter also.
I'll chase that one up before hand also.

let me know what you plan on getting i may get you to get 2

Or even 3, Eddy.

I couldn't agree more. Dyno is not a valid measure for intake mods (as I've discovered), Vag com makes much more sense. You need proper air flow and normal outside ambient temps to get a valid measure.

I'll get on it & see what happens.

if there is like a secret hush group buy here, i'll be in

Yes but like i said whats the harm if it doesnt cost you any extra, he is also doing the tests on his manumetre and eddy and i will do vagcom.

why are we bothering? VW now use a combo of blowers and turbos now. why don't we organise a group buy for super chargers from VW

Group Buy k04's kthxbai.

The Results

Ladies & Gentlemen,
Sorry this has taken so long. For the impatient ones, here's the results.
Before, 114.1 kw atw
After, 120.1 kw atw
Next I'll go into what I did.

best, Al

hey mate ( i know its a dyno chart ) but well done. Is that just the seat air intake. let us know all the details.
