Types of intake

(1/3) > >>

ArildStavrum:
I have had a search but couldn't find the answer or a discussion.

I'm going to go stage 1 and want a new intake as well.  Now there are so many to choose from but some look completely different to others, as in pipes etc that go up round the back of the engine. Some just seem to replace the standard intake and that's that.

Wondered if anyone can explain? Ideally I'd like to keep my engine cover on too but not sure that is possible.

As per usual any advice is gratefully received....

Willing to spend 250 too!!

I think you may have to spend a little more to get one of the better intakes, unless buying second hand. If you wish to retain your engine cover then you will almost certainly have to mod it to fit with an intake. You could go panel filter in your existing engine cover but you dont get much in the way of gains. There are plenty of intakes out there such as itg, evoms, forge twintake, etc . I have had the itg and just cant get on with the looks of the thing, although very good gains are made. The twintake is a nice looker as i think the evoms is also as its one piece right up to the maf, also good gains. If you want something a little cheaper theres the neuspeed, not sure what sort of gains though. Good luck in your search. :happy2:

ArildStavrum:
Thanks mate, I think I'm going to go for the carbonio or carbonspeed intake as they both don't effect the engine cover and are within budget.

Any thoughts on either of those?

MC71:
Small selection for you and the engine cover can be easily modified to fit inside any intake and a how to at the bottom of this list...

Check out Forge Motorsport for their Twintake, reviewed on the forum by RR (dated 2009)

Hope this helps. 

ArildStavrum:
Great, that's a great help as usual.

If I go for the carbonio or carbon speed I will also get the itg panel filter.
