Yeah, I think so. Saw it on a Ed. 30 with 355 BHP but with 102 octane petrol. I can only get 98 octane where I live which sucks... :sad1:

Is there a dyno graph of that car available? Plenty of people who revert to a standard airbox after using a cone filter say they got a better response and more torque at low revs. This could achieve that, as well as in theory flowing better at the top end like a cone filter. That also depends on the bore of the pipework at its narrowest point in comparison to the GTI/Ed30 airbox.

I know you're restricted to using a standard airbox in your country. This might be a good solution for you!

My mechanic liked the idea of relocating the battery to the trunk and fitting this intake. I was looking for others thoughts since the forum has a lot of experienced people. I don't have a dyno graph. A friend shared the ad of the car mostly because it has a great interior with the Scirocco mk3 R colour cluster, mk6 GTI MFSW and a Golf mk7 climatronic retrofitted with a RNS-510 and PolarFIS Adv. included too.

Then I noticed the intake with a very nice power output! :grin:

Nice idea, but different MAF, so the ECU would need recalibrating....if our MED9 ECUs can even read properly from those MAFs?

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.

Shoduchi:
I've seen this option for the OEM battery relocation to the boot:



I'm more inclined to use a lightweight and smaller battery so I can keep my space saver tyre and lower boot floor. I'm still considering options. :thinking:
