Just read through your thread. Some great mods. Really do have a soft spot for the TD's. Look fantastic. So what's next?

Also took the plunge and ordered up a RamAir induction kit, arrived today.
Must say very impressed with the quality of the kit. All silicon, hard pipe, anodised clamps, massive foam filter, plus filter heat shield. Plus full detailed/pictured fitting instructions.
Once fitted will update with feedback.
:happy2:
Si

All fitted :happy2:
Will get some better pics up soon. Very straight forward to do tho, only took me about 30 minutes in my garage after work the other night.
Sound not very loud at all (what I wanted) so may not appeal to those wishing for a louder intake. Can hear the air and then slight dump valve type noise when you release the pedal. Can drive without making very little noise if gentle on the pedal.
Drives much the same, some people say get slight lose of low down torque with induction kits. But overall very pleased with fit and performance. Air intake 70mm and same size from filter to turbo now so must be a smoother path for the air to take.
Very pleased with filter heat shield too, utilizes factory mounting points (you use two of the engine mount rubbers) very well.
Just need to look at modifying the original cover now, or get a TTRS one as I personally prefer to have it covered.
Few mobile pics of removal and fitting.
Engine cover off, remove intake pipe from turbo and fit new induction.
Filter heat shield uses two of the orignal engine cover mounts. If not refitting the cover is ok, I am so I've ordered up two from VW.
Once the engine cover back on, must say think will look very neat and tidy under there. Plus the big filter adds something nice to look at :grin:
