ITG maxogen - new enclosed filter information.
jedi-knight83:
Ive removed it. The MPG was shocking and the whistle was embarrassing.
The enclosed filter gets rid of all the darth vader noises of the open filter and as far as I can tell from logging the car it performs the same as the open intake.
However for me, right now the loss in MPG and the whistle is completely unacceptable.
I'll keep the bits and take them to R-Tech and still try to diagnose the whistle and see what Nick says about fitting it for added power but the last time I spoke to him he had found a new tweak for the KO3 that he was keen to try and if this proves effective on my car with the standard air box I'll be happy with that.
I bought the ITG (I guess the same would apply for the twintake etc) thinking it would instantly add 10-15bhp to my car. I hadn't really appreciated that these gains were only on stage2+ and KO4 cars though so for my KO3 stage 1 i'd have to say it seems a bit of a waste unfortunately.

....Please understand that I totally understand and respect your preferences and decisions when I say that adding a Twintake to my Revo Stage 2 K03 GTI added 15.5 bhp according to back-to-back same day dyno @ JKM. My mods include a TBE Milltek. I was on stock fuel pump at the time (now APR).
It's all written up with plots in my first post: http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,9988.0.html
I'm still interested in R-Tech Nick's findings about the whistle. :happy2:

Oh yeah... I wasn't pointing the finger at anyone saying I was given bad info. I'm just saying I hadn't fully appreciated that it would give far less of a gain on a stage 1 KO3 car.
I think I've also been unlucky with the ECU not adapting well and causing low MPG and the blasted whistle that makes you shy away from full throttle.

Whistle + poor mpg sounds like an air leak between the afm and turbo.

the whistle is one thats well documented with other itg and forge intakes.
I re installed the system 3 times in all and even put silicon around the maf making sure there were no air leaks anywhere.
