TTS intake in a mk5 Golf GTI Ed. 30/Pirelli

Lol omg. talk about subtle. I didn't even notice the battery until i starting writing.
I was gonna ask is that foam is something you could buy? Compartments look the right shape for a battery though.
Sounds like a bigger pita then original thought :(

It's a way better airbox than the MK5 one, much bigger volume of cool air, especially when sat in traffic......where the standard one heat soaks something chronic.
I would have done it already if it wasn't for the MAF.
Battery in the boot is a pain in FWD Golfs as it doesn't have the same floor as the R32 to take a battery, although I'm sure there's a solution somewhere!

The different MAF shouldn't be much of an issue. Just guessing, since I'm no tuning expert. If you start with a base map from a TTS engine, it shouldn't much different than doing it from the start with our BYD base maps.

Is the TTS engine the same as the BYD? I know from 3.2 V6 engines in the past that Audi like to mix and match things. For example, the A3 3.2 was a mix and match of MK4 and MK5 parts and not interchangeable, including the ECU. I just have a sneaky suspicion this is what Audi have done with the TTS too. Mix and match of TFSI and TSI parts.
If the ECUs are identical, then yep, what you've said would work. I guess we need to do some research!

Golfs with a normal size spare tyre have this foam. You can get them from scrapyards or from TPS.
This intake does sound like a PITA compared to any of the others I've found. :sad1:

The TTS has a CDL engine and uses a MED9.1 ECU like the BYD engine. It's possible to fit this intake because it's used in Germany and Poland but not sure what a tuner has to do.

OK great, maybe not such a difficult swap after all then!
