I need your help to help me decide what to do. I am getting that itchy feeling of wanting to fit one but I know I went back to the OE cover to tone down the noise. However after watching BTCC it has got me wanting an intake again.
Cheers Matt
-
if noise bothers you don't fit it.... There would always be some noise above OEM level with whaetever intake you fit!
-
Steve's is a different beast but ask his opinion on intake noise as that version is enclosed & looks impressive.
I voted VWR/ITG

+1

You forgot to include EVOMS!! I love the sound tbh, do it!
-
I was told by VWR that the ITG intake is only available through them now.
So, who is up for me making some? Same as fitted to my car?
But the Evoms gets my vote for the great price of it.

If you can make the AWE CCB intake fit K04 (ED30) I would buy one of them or even the Volant Powercore system if that could fit K04 as I would prefer the closed box design both for aesthetics and for keeping it quieter, plus its not an ITG or Twintake like everyone else has :happy2: plus AWE is Carbon :wink: although im not that handy with spanners so dont know what needs adding, hence not done it yet.
Looking at the info on the AWE system it seems to make similar power gains to Twintake (15bhp), I am not fussed about "losing" 3 or 4 bhp over ITG/Twintake (I am not losing it as I never had it to start with :happy2:)
AWE CCB INtake http://www.awe-tuning.com/products/vw-1/mk5-g-j-2006/2-0t/awe-20t-ccb.html
Volant Intake http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300613063489?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
I take it as VWR saying only available from them, that means the price has gone up 30% :signLOL:
-
has anyone made their own intake? - would be interesting to know / see results / a video
-
and when I say made their own I mean pieced together using different kits, using parts of ebay (such as the piping and connectors) and then buying the filter seperate or using one they already had
-
Thankyou for the input so far :happy2: That Volant looks good but I dont know whether it would fit my octy with the design of the air box on it. But its a good price and looks to be well made.
Im just wondering which non believers voted for the missis handbag :signLOL:

Im just wondering which non believers voted for the missis handbag :signLOL:
That would be me as I dont like the Twintake, ITG/VWR, Dbilas or Evoms, less sheep more wolf :signLOL:
Had there been an option for Volant or AWE I would have voted for either of them instead of the handbag :happy2:
Just spoke to Uk importer of the AWE and although they have requested a model for K04 they ahve not made one yet!, he told me it was a simple matter of adding the feed for the pipe as it will bolt straight up after adding the feed for remote DV, looks like this is the way im going with my intake :happy2:
-
I could turn either of those kits into K04 fitment. Just needs a 25mm take off welding on. :happy2:

.
We are all likely to recommend the intake we have ourselves.
Review of intake options but essentially of the Forge Twintake: http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,9988.0.html

tbh KREGIEL is right. If you dont want noise, then i wouldnt get an intake because they are all noisy.
Whats your mod lst. There must be something missing off your list worthy of £350 of your hard earned
-
if adding an intake like itg etc etc mean having to get your remap tweaked to get the best out of it, or is it just fit and go?
-
tht you ment made one like blue peter style cardboard,toilet rolls and sticky back plastic :signLOL: (showing my age now) :jumping:
-
Itsgenerally just fit and go because the ECU has enough adaptation built in to adjust accordingly.
However if you are stage 2 already and your map is pretty aggressive, such as a REVO stage 2 map, you might find that the extra boost resulting from installing an intake can cause the car to experience fuel cut. Robin had his boost turned down aftr fitting his to stop this happening, but his fuel pump is now struggling so hes had to upgrade that now as a precautionary measure

....Exactly :happy2:
The plus side is that I have peace of mind with a strong aftermarket high pressure fuel pump (APR) and can restore my Revo 2 Boost setting and get some power back.

I am going to do my own using an OE airbox. I will be taking logs before and after to see the difference in airflow and will hopefully be able to report on subjective noise levels and throttle response.

keep me updated on this one fella specially with some pictures and build guide if the results are good!"

My mod list so far is almost all in my signture, apart from the eibachs, S3 console bushes and rs4 valve. I am going to fit a new lower mount to stop the engine movement. From experience if you can suggest anything worth while then please do :happy2:
I might opt to fit a hybrid as me and Jim have discussed this at length. Should be interesting to see the results.
-
can you recommend any engine mounts octy? and ill defo sticky your hybrid as iv been really interested and asked before whether a k03/04 would work!
-
I can recommend some mounts :innocent:
-
^^^^
When fitting engine mounts it's a good idea to do all three as it distributes the forces more evenly/better.

Tt lower arms, anti roll bars, pads all woukd be high on my list before intake. Youve alreafy got pretty good power

I am looking at the THS mounts at the moment. I like that they are better by design but still rubber, so should keep engine vibration down and decrease engine movement. I had thought about the VWR ones etc but I want to try and keep engine vibration in the cabin to a minimum.
