Title: ITG intake fitted
Post by: xjscx on February 25, 2012, 12:55:47 pm

Just finished fitting my itg intake. Can feel the difference over the Carbonio which the car came with.

All went well apart from cracking my engine cover when removing it  :ashamed:

Sweet but you need to realign your oil cap if it's not loose.

yeah everything is tight and the pipe is sitting flush and as far up on the MAF as possible

its a kind of squeak/whistle high pitched noise

It might be the sound of the turbo spooling up. I had a high pitch squeel when I had my intake fitted when under wide open throttle.

well i can hear the turbo spooling up much louder now even when just feathering the throttle at a steady tow speed. i get a slight whoosh when lifting off too which i would have expected and don't mind but the squeal is a bit much.

I've had a look on a few forums and its a pretty common topic but i didn't expect the VWR/ITG intake to sound this 'unrefined' especially with it being a closed air box type.



i bought it used so decided to take it off and clean and oil it today anyway
