Hi all
Fitted an induction kit at the weekend, no super duper manufacturer just one of them ones off ebay, good price and does the job. Makes a great sound now as well and even slightly different as its a DSG, you can sort of hear the re-cric DV dumping air more constantly compared to a manual i think. If you get what im saying lol

Engine cover looks good dude :happy2:
-
Great work mate, looks really neat!
I have been thinking about doing something similar myself, did the cover take much prep work before spraying?

Cheers, nah not much prep work needed just sanded it down a little bit to roughen it up a little so the plastic primer takes to it better. Then the usual methods of sanding then next coat etc.

how did u get it to fit with the new air filter?

Had to chop off bits of the air box and side part.

Love the engine cover mate. :happy2:
-
Ive seen that intake before, we used to make somethig very similar. You need to ditch the filter for something far less restrictive (look inside the filter and you will see what I mean) and inside is a cheap yellow plasic part that comes loose over time, goes brittle and breaks up, the last place you want those little bits in your turbo!

Excellent job on the cover :happy2:

Ok, cheers, looks like that is something else I can do to put off the house DIY then! :happy2:

very nice i need to find me a second hand cover

Really nice job on the engine cover, looks good! :happy2:

Engine cover looks mint I did this a month ago but the middle part fell off and the heat twisted it all and the fan cut through it :ashamed:
-
:confused: Was it because the middle wasn't secured correctly or did something else cause it to disconnect from the main cover?

Usually I'd say I don't like painted oem engine covers but I like yours because it goes so well with your red bodywork and red filter. That silver one recently posted looks very good too :happy2:
-
I can't have clipped it back in properly was gutted as it took ages I had a really nice finish on it to all that work into the bin!! Looked just like that one :sad1:

I got the inspiration from ones like this one though, just need to get it fitted properly.

^^^^
Yes, yours Big Al. Sorry I forgot whose it was - Lots of folks to remember here and more difficult if I haven't met them (plus my aged memory). I like yours best of all re painted oem covers.
-
that does look smart AL!! and OP-that looks dead cool and sooo shiny!
i just "aquired" a neuspeed p-flow-decided against the cost of the twintake esp as this is second hand-
and i got a second hand cover to chop.
am thinking the crackle paint over the engine cove to match the piping on the neuspped and then get the centre section done WTP carbon to match the rest of my car...with a hint of influence form mrRED as usual lol
what ya reckon?
sorry op if this is a thread hijack :innocent:
but inspried by your pics :party:

Sounds like a plan Matt.
I do like the carbon centre but as I am always planning something else then I thought I would go with the cheaper option and just paint it.
Always like the water transfer jobs too.

sorry to bring this thread to life. Just wondering where you got the hard pipe for induction kit from? I want somthing similar.

....Nothing wrong in breathing new life into threads :happy2:
Do you mean the aftermarket air intake pipework?
If so, it's a Forge Twintake: http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,9988.0.html

If your on about the pipe in the first post i believe it is this one.
