Anyone got one of these fitted and what are they like in terms of build quality, performance, sound etc

I've also been looking at this, any info would be great.

Yeah they look good and apparently the build is good quality and doesn't change the sound much. Also notice the below on Ebay which allows you to pick a color and then purchase your separate Air Filter

Anyone know if I bought the below

if I could fit any sort of cone filter such as below as long as the diameter was right which says 89mm

Just a heads up for anyone looking for a bargain.
I made a best offer on this £165 kit of £150 which was accepted and then also use an Ebay code for £15 off that was on the advert so got the kit for £135 in the end :happy2:

I have one, does the job nicely on my ed30. Was hoping for more induction noise but heho that's just me reliving my youth ha :smiley:

Nice one, don't suppose you got a vid of the noise it makes, like you I am hoping for a bit of noise but don't want it sounding like a 747 coming down the road when I am only doing a steady 30 :ashamed:
Next will be removing the Pre-cat so hopefully that will help with more noise
Not sure how it will add to performance if any as I am Stage 1 at the moment
-
They're quiet when cruising but get quite loud when accelerating. Can hear the turbo spool quite loudly, then dump when you lift off. If you tap the accelerator straight after lifting off it will make a nice flutter noise too...
-
I've ordered mine and is saying it's despatched, can't wait to get it fitted, was it an easy fit?
-
Instructions are garbage. There was no mention of how to fit the heat shield at the back of the engine. One picture it isn't there, next picture it's there! Easy enough to figure out though once you have a look.

Did you just order it and if so get the discount?

I have a forge twintake for sale if you want noise too
Your Forge looks nice but bit too expensive for what I wanted to pay

Were there any other fitting issues as watched the video on ebay and seems straight forward

Also I have an MOT coming up in a week or so. Will this Intake be fine on there?

Will have to got for a different class MOT, think it's a class 6 and cost about £75

That ain't good, could always stick the old oem intake on for MOT

^^ :P sorry couldn't resist, I was messing about! Will be fine for MOT :happy2:

I was wondering as been searching for Class 6 MOT and couldn't find anything about a Car needing this so you got me :congrats: :signLOL:

I read that and was like "WTF is he on?!"... Nice skills V!
I have a RamAir kit on my K03 GTI and it's lovely. I would most likely still use on for my Golf R after driving my GTI for the first time in weeks again today, for the cost you can't go wrong.

The more comments I hear people make on this the more excited I am receiving it and fitting it :jumping:

You are a better man than I!
I was literally there for 20 minutes and could not see how it fits at the back. There just isn't enough room and it was resting directly on top of sensors.
I left it off as didn't look like was really needed anyway.
-
Fitted mine last week. It sounds nice and loud when accelerating hard.
Still fairly loud normally anyway though tbh.
Not sure which size you went for, but I went for the 90mm oversize, which may be why mine sounds so loud?
Also a bit more responsive when accelerating too :)
-
Just paid the price bud, no discount, just want this bhz engine up and running or I'm getting divorced as spent a fortune gettin it right, just need map and a full paint job to be mint!! Been a project that I hadn't intended gettin too deep but f#@k it I'm shoulder deep already....

Thats crap, hope mine doesnt end up like that as says delivery is estimated tomorrow.
I am going to try and do a before and after Vid but would be nice to compare it to others :wink:

Ordered mine on Sunday, received it today, good bit of kit, well happy, good product, can't wait to get it fitted!

90 ml I went for..

From memory you have to take off the 2 pegs that hold the engine cover in place at the rear of the engine, place the heat shield down and screw into place using the engine cover mounting pegs.

well seems ive ordered the intake kit from hell. :laugh:
any one have a guess what the problem is ?

Don't have a clue but got mine delivered today so if you let me know I can check mine is okay before I start fitting it tonight :surprised:

See it now I think ,have they sent you the same part twice as checked mine and all the right parts
-
Bit of shameless advertising here, but I'm after a stock engine cover and air feed, willing to pay cash or swap for my RamAir kit like-for-like. I have a K03 system if that helps. Anyone who has a stock engine cover and wants a few quid for it, give me a shout and we'll strike a deal.

Correcto theyre quite promptly sorting it out which is good but now have half an intake fitted
-
So fitted mine and some pics below and also took it for a spin and louder than I thought but nice sound when accelerating.
On the downside I did manage to break the piece of plastic pipe that comes off the Turbo Inlet so good thing I fitted the new one ok as no going back :confused:
The pipe with the MAF on wiggles a bit even after fixing and tightening the claps so hope that is normal
Few pics

Thinking about getting one of these. Are you guys running them with standard ECU settings or have you had a remap? I have a standard GTi (197bhp) with KO3 turbo - does this mean I get the 70mm Ramair kit or can I run the 90mm version? Also, does the cone filter just rest on the inside of the heat shield or is it bolted to something to stop it moving about?
Sorry for all the questions! Thanks in advance.

I cannot be 100% sure but from doing a couple of VCDS runs my car looks like it has had a Stage 1 map before I bought it. I have the 70mm version on my ED30 so not sure on that. My filter doesn't rest on anything and I did this by adjusting the 90 degree silicone hose before clamping on, it does move around but I made sure there is clearance all around so it does sit on anything but is very tight in there
-
same as above really just gotta adjust so its just barely floating mines running on standard ecu just fine

Just figured out where the RamAir sticker is supposed to go :happy2:
-
Thanks for the information guys - good pic dronners, looks nice and clean under your bonnet. I'm gonna definately think about this as long I don't lose any horseys by fitting it.

I have the 90mm oversize kit fitted to mine the heatshield is a bit tricky over the manifold but other than that it's straight forward. It's sounds good and also feels abit more responsive on my ed30 (https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.tapatalk-cdn.com%2F15%2F08%2F25%2F79d5e5d91cae3dc89e599d20d32efbc0.jpg&hash=5bf8753e9c6deea2e768d244f999c34266a8a954)(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.tapatalk-cdn.com%2F15%2F08%2F25%2F12833f6dad4bd3ced3b6e9a157773049.jpg&hash=ea90760d4744598ce936eead06eb786e511f8849)

I also have one of these great value kits - been on a couple of months now and works a treat
Wrapped mine in magmashield heat reflective tape for a bit of engine bling!

I'd love to do a swap, but you're probably a little far from me unfortunately.

As you can see from my pic I need to clean my engine bay badly. what did you use to clean yours especially around the battery and fuse kit as if I use water spray am worried about getting it into these
-
I used autosmart g101 all purpose cleaner sprayed it over everything used a detailing brush then just rinsed it off with a hose with the engine running. Used autoglym rapid retailer after it dried out to give it a bit of shine
-
on the plastics i cleaned off using demon shine rapid dirt shifter. 101 is probs better tbh. and then used autoglym vinyl and rubber care over it all
-
So decide to spray the CAI to try and go with the red theme. I think it looks good but that's just me :evilgrin:
Was also spraying the Engine Cover which I have decided to go with the main bit as red also and then the strip with the wording and VW badge all black. The black spray came out a bit lumpy on the strip and ran out of red spray for the main part so could not fit today and will have to sand down the strip and buy more red paint for the main part. Did fit it on and the colour theme looked good though.
Also wiped down the engine bay a bit so looks a bit more clean now :confused:

Here's video

cannt believe.. so many ramair owners, no one mentioned fuel trims :)
anyone chacked it with vcds/ vag com?
-
Much better than the Forge Twintake!!! :signLOL:
Up to around 5% on the LTFT when I tried a RamAir MAF tube/scaling on Revo software, but the LTFT is not indicative of peak readings, it is only a blanket correction added to the RPM range under mixed load conditions, i.e. normal driving

All this fuel trim business - It's a bit lost on me, but from what I've read the Revo intake fares best. How does this compare to the Ramair intake? Pros, cons etc?
I'm looking for reasons NOT to buy the Ramair oversize kit to finish off what will be a 2+ R-Tech k03 build by that time (full BCS with 200 cell, Loba pump, and probably an S3 IC) as it's a much more attractive price!
-
Revo is closest to OEM, the RamAir isn't too bad and Niki corrects the MAF scaling as much as possible during the mapping session. plenty use the RamAir intake without issue
A basic Revo intake is only around £100 more than the RamAir intake which isn't a huge amount when compared with a LOBA pump, and you'll be saving out over an Airtech or similar intercooler by fitting a used alloy S3 core etc.

Cheers Dan. Yeah a hundred here or there is nothing once you consider the total cost of 2+. Haven't heard a bad thing about the Revo intake.
Interesting thread not long ago discussing the bigger coolers on k03 cars. Seems the S3 is optimal for a k03.
I've already got the big jobs ticked off - exhaust is on, making lovely noises, and inducing clutch slip even on the existing Stage 1 R-Tech map. Huge difference in performance to the oem system.
Helix organic clutch and oem dmf going on tomorrow. Will probs nip down to Hinckley soon and get the map tweaked to the exhaust. Then plan the rest of the hardware. BBT hybrid k03 is a definite consideration. It'd be rude not to make full use of the new clutch wouldn't it!
-
BBT hybrid K03 is essentially a K04. If going that avenue then I'd consider a better cooler now to save the hassle in future.
I've got a china cooler on my 2+ K03 (unfortunately Revo rather than R-Tech at the moment - long story) and its great fun with plenty of low down torque. I think the issue is with fitting the huge wellycooler which is an awful lot bigger in terms of volume

Yes, good point. Obviously plenty of k04 cars run the S3 IC at 330-350bhp without problems, but it's one thing being fine on a dyno and another being fine on the road. Being a BWA I'm not looking for huge power, maybe 330bhp, so it's something I'll discuss with Niki when I'm next down there.
The perfect solution would be an IC that worked optimally at k03 2+ but was then still efficient with the turbo swapped for the hybrid. Whether that's realistic or not is something I need to research more.
Still need to sort out some proper brakes before going much further with the power anyway.

Fuel trims for revo intake on mates gti mkv revo 2+ are : -2.3 4.3
And speaking of brakes.. straight swap are r32 front discs and 6pots from touareg v10 tdi.I have that on my car, worth every penny

I'm probably going to go for TTRS calipers with 340mm discs. Are those 6 pots the Brembo 18z?
Did consider 18z but a few people say they induce a bit too much pedal travel. Plus they're heavier than the TTRS and 340mm combo.
I'll still be open to options. It's a few months off but TTRS calipers seem a bit scarce at the minute!
-
Yes they are 18z. I also thought of audi brakes but fashion won over function :) brake travel isnt problem, I didnt noticed it in my case. They are heavy, and discs are heavy, 12kg each if I remmember right. But they looks awesome :) and brake nice

Yeah they do look stunning. And they are easy to get hold of at the minute.
I think nearer the time I need to find someone with the TTRS setup, and someone with the 18z setup, and see if I can get a quick drive to see how they feel. Long shot but I'd take the chance if it was offered!
There's also the Forge 6 pot kit. Seems a good option, although some people are put off by the fact that they're 'made in china'.

Much better than the Forge Twintake!!! :signLOL:
Up to around 5% on the LTFT when I tried a RamAir MAF tube/scaling on Revo software, but the LTFT is not indicative of peak readings, it is only a blanket correction added to the RPM range under mixed load conditions, i.e. normal driving
did you log lambda adaptation/ regulator ? how much percentage you get with your filter or ramair, ar full throttle, peak power? do you have any log?
-
Mine stays within + or - 5%, but i do have Meth injection which will affect this too. Thats with my current intake - dont have any logs for the RamAir MAF pipe
-
Ok. as my ltft are 10-13%. But my lambda regulator is at 25%. I hope its connected with not so ideal forge twintake maf housing.. will see. cannt find k04 logs with twintake on internet (with lambda regulator included in log)

Hey guys, i just bought the oversized intake, the "manual" is sh*t :laugh:
but my proplem is since i got k04, how do i connect the hose to the bung ??
the small hose that connected to the old turbo intake is just sitting there open
2007 ED30 btw

Did you get the k04 version or k03?
The k04 one should have a nipple tube for the other hose to go on before the maf.

Black clamps look very good, mine came with shiny ones.

yes i got the k04 one, the bung and all
but my "noise" pipe and other pipes look alot diffrent than what are pictured
mine looks like this, way bigger than the bung for example

Is yours LHD? LHD Ed. 30 have the noise generator and the corresponding pipe. You need to do the same as I did to mine. I relocated the DV to the front of the engine like the RHD Ed. 30. :wink:

I've just fitted the 90mm oversize to my K03 stage 1 GTI. The car has a full turbo back 3in exhaust (no cat). The intake has made quite a lot more power than I was expecting. But my fuel economy has plummeted?? 280mls from a full tank?? WTF??:doh: :doh:
Anyone else heard of this happening?
I'm hopefully fitting an Intercooler in the next month or two and then it's back to the tuner for stage 2 Mapping where I'm sure he'll be able to claw back some fuel economy for me??
Anyone any thoughts on this?
Also, just a heads up for anyone thinking of fitting this intake. The sound of the turbo gulping in air even in light acceleration is really very noticeable. It's present all the time unless you're totally off the throttle. Not necessarily a bad thing. But just thought I'd mention it as I wasn't expecting it and I imagine some people might find it pretty off putting. There's no typical induction roar like you get on a naturally aspirated car. Just lots of giant Hoover like sucking sounds :smiley: :happy2:

You like the noises so much you are mashing the pedal harder? :grin:
-
The ram air makes a horrible noise :doh:

This is a distinct possibility :happy2: :laugh: :smiley:

I'm kinda inclined to agree with you! It ain't subtle and it ain't pretty :laugh:
Do you have any experience of any others that sound better?
I drove an edition 30 with an EVOMS intake and that wasn't very nice either :ashamed:
Does anyone make an induction kit for this car that actually sounds good??
-
To be fair, if you make more power you will use more fuel...
-
To be fair, if you make more power you will use more fuel...
100% agree :happy2:
I'd been keeping an eye on it since going stage 1 map. If anything the map improved economy a little bit.
When I installed the 3in turbo it made a lot more power and hurt the economy just a little.
But when I installed the RamAir it made a little bit more power but the fuel economy plummeted?? It's really weird. I presume it's all in the map or fuel trims or whatever?
I'm ok with spanners but i am a total numpty when it comes to mapping :ashamed: :ashamed:
My feeling is that it's running rich in the cruise portion of the map probably to compensate for the extra air passing the MAF sensor?
The only reason I say that is because on a recent long, boring and steady motorway drive it just gobbled up all my fuel even though my right foot was being parsimonious :laugh: :laugh:
Anyway, POWA is so much important than economy anyways... So who cares :smiley: :smiley: :happy2:

must say noise dosent bother me. i've heard it be compared to an out of tune flute before. i kinda like the whooshy harmonics

No, I took it off for the horrible noise reason and I'm looking to replace in the future with something better sounding. I just want a bit of subtle induction noise with a nice bit of chatter when you let off the gas. The ram air did neither.

Interesting stuff. I fitted mine a couple of weeks back and but haven't really noticed anything bar the noise.
I'm driving to Amsterdam this weekend so will keep an eye on it and report back.

That's exactly what I'm looking for too. Let me know if you find the right kit :happy2:

Yes please. Keep us posted. I'm sorta suspicious that mine has decided to run super rich for some reason unrelated to the RamAir. Will be very interested to see how yours performs on a long drive :happy2:

Yeah; although the sound is not what I was expecting (and I probably would change it if a "better" sounding kit was available) I still like the bit of compressor surge on lift off and the way it sounds absolutely bat sh*t crazy in conjunction with the decat from 4,500 to 7,000 rpm :laugh: :laugh:
I'm definitely gonna leave it in on until something better comes along :smiley:
I've hear the Volkswagen Racing set up is almost like stock sound wise, but good bit of grunt when you're on WOT. Could be worth a shot. Bit hard to justify the price though :stupid:
-
Dunkirk to Amsterdam on Sunday - 29mpg
Amsterdam to Dunkirk on Weds - 31mpg
I was a little hungover on the way home, I think that accounts for the better mpg!
Driving was mostly 80mph which is 3k revs and just before boost properly builds.
AMD stage 1 map with milltek catback and a oversized RamAir.
I suppose I really should have taken the engine cover so that I could do a proper test, one journey with induction and one with std filter.
-
Fair play Unzippy. Thanks a million for the feedback :happy2:
I'd be chuffed with ~30mpg :smiley:
Definitely something up with my motor and to be honest I'd don't think it's likely to be related to the RamAir....
Need to get my thinking cap on :thinking: :thinking:
Thanks again for the feedback..
