TSi Air intake on a TFSi

<< < (2/3) > >>

Bogwoppit:
Here is a pic of the intake on the earlier engine:


and the later engine TSI or FSI:


The intake on the later engine looks similar to most of the aftermarket intakes available on the earlier engine.

Looks like it could be a lot of work.

I see, interesting. Basically it has a separate airbox,...like we all had on older generation dubs!

Could poss use an aftermarket intake with an oe airbox off something suitable.

56OctyVRS:
The main reason is to get more air into the engine for a stage 3 map whilst still looking oem. I dont want all the noise associated with open cone intakes. If it will fit i could use a drop in panel air filter, help the engine breathe and not have induction noise. But I want to retain an oem look to it all.

jimk04:
MAtt - very interesting this! :happy2:

 Not cheap thought, priced up on ETKA and looking around £330 plus VAT, not sure if my prices are bang up to date either.

Biggest issue is that you have to buy the whole MAF - sensor and housing, you cant just buy the housing on its own, and they're £130. You could save a chunk if you can adapt something here.

jimk04:
ETKA states the O ring for the MAF housing to be 79mm, so its probably a 3" type housing like we had on the KO4 engined 1.8t 20 valves - 225tt/S3 etc, and the picture shows what looks like a MAF housing from aforementioned 1.8Ts, so you may be able to find something on ebay off a 20v and make your sensor fit somehow?
