Cold Air Intake for Polo GTI

[DaveMack]

Well ... I've searched the forum for anything specific on this ... and some of the 'Net. Anyone know if there is a product designed for the Pogo? Or would any of the 1.8T products do?

Sounds good to me, Shane.

Hey Dave, GT3 has a BMC CDA, I think he got the same results from it as we got with the Seat intake.

Cheers, Mate. (Bux moved to 'coilovers' column then.)

Dave, if what you mean is whether any companies make a specific cold-air intake for the polo gti, eg carbonio, then the answer is no - although I have read somewhere that carbonio may have one in development. Like many after-market products, we miss out bc the polo gti wasn't released in the USA.

So your options come down to what you want to achieve by upgrading the intake. I never did any before/after tests on my CDA, but it's fair to say the seat upgrade is a great mod for minimal outlay and simple to do. For street use, it's the way to go. If, on the other hand, you're serious about getting any and every performance advantage you can, eg track use, then the BMC CDA may be worth considering.

Cheers, Mate. The amount of track use I'd get out of it wouldn't justify spending any more than I've spent on the Seat intake. Of course ... I'd love to make it a dedicated 'racer' ... but don't have the bux, the time or the wife ("You want to do WHAT?") for that.
