Title: Which Induction Kit?
Post by: jaylufc17 on August 30, 2016, 11:09:26 am

I have a MK5 GTI DSG Stage 1 map.

Looking at an induction kit to install... dont have much knowledge of these but want one that sounds decent too... any recommendations

a friend of mine who has a GTI recommended the following.

I have this fitted to my stg2 GTI DSG mate, great bit of kit for the money with all heat shields included. Not the best looking but makes all the right noises, chatters, dumps & whooshes for fun  :happy2:

The Revo induction is the best to buy for peak figures, and looks the best IMO, but for the difference in looks its not worth the extra pennies. Keep a look out for a 2nd hand one maybe if this is your thing, if not the Oversized Ramair is more than adequate.

Hope this helps pal

cheers kyle!

ramair oversize is around £190 on ebay and revo one £230 from their website so not sure if its worth the extra bit of power... ill have to have a think lol

worth noting the revo one is excluding VAT. I fell into that trap initially. So you are looking at £275.

I'm pleased with my RamAir.

It doesn't sound like what I was expecting. It doesn't make any induction roar like you get on a naturally aspirated motor. It makes lots of sucky, hoover like noise and some good chatter when you lift off the throttle.

The instructions are rubbish, and I certainly found it awkward enough to fit!!

It makes quite a lot of noise. Not all of it is pleasant in my opinion. But above 4K rpm and on WOT it sounds epic!!

For the price of it I think you'll be happy :happy2:

Thanks for posting the link jay i was going to order one of these (and now i have!). If anyone is considering buying this from the ram air site i found code 10OFF knocks another 10% off so it ends up at £170.99  :happy2:

My standard airbox is broken in a few places (over zealous main dealers it would seem) so this should be nice and noisy upgrade  :smiley:

Yes, plenty noisy :happy2: Enjoy :smiley:

When you have your engine cover removed just have a quick check for the health of your sensors.

My air box had obviously been on and off a bunch of times in the life of the car. I noticed that the same numptys who had broken it in a number of spots had also broken my...

...VVT Control valve - (part no. 06F109257C)
...The air intake sensor (on the front of the intake manifold)

And I've heard of others having found broken elec connections on the HPFP.

Hopefully all of yours are fine; but worth a check while you have the cover off :happy2:
