SurreyED30's 2nd Edition 30 #SOLD!
SurreyED30:
Not to much mate, I know CAI obviously help with flow but its not a 50HP mod, so I haven't noticed any decline in power.
The terrible hoover like noise has gone! which was my main objective with refitting the oem set up.
There's a few cars running stage 1/2/2+ with the oem set up so its not vital to have a CAI fitted for tuning, of course it will help with flow and chasing numbers...
I'm sure someone will correct me and say a CAI is the most vital part of the TFSI as without it your tuned car will explode and the world will end :laugh:

From experience, if you want top end power then you're better off with a cold air intake system but for road use the OE setup will do just fine, keeps the torque low down good. That being said, I went through 4 different intakes (OE, Evoms, VW Racing and RamAir) and I have to say the RamAir Oversized K04 intake is surprisingly good especially as it's the cheapest. Being a chav I like the intake noise but I can understand why many would opt for the quieter OE system. If you do decide you need an intake in the future but want a quiet engine then look at one of the enclosed ones, but I'd personally avoid the VW Racing one as I felt it rather lacking compared to the Evoms or RamAir intake.

Not surprised to hear it tbh! I've got a RamAir on mine as I needed something quick and cheap but i've got alerts set up on eBay as in the long run i'd probably go back to OE. I'm quite surprised all the filter on a stick options are so popular in the TFSI scene to be honest, none of them look like a great solution for getting cold air into the engine.

I'm surprised as it looks like one of the better solutions with the enclosed cold air feed etc.
