We have this fitted to our GTI, I think it is a great bit of kit especially considering it is half the price of a lot of intakes!
We sell these as well

They are spot on for the money. A lot of cars in the US run these on big power so they are good for K04 etc.

My brother and i bought ours from GNJ_Motorsport and could not recommend them enough, great service :happy2:

Wow looks really good! Bet it will look pretty smart when put on, they got a nice finish on the paint :happy2: what colour is his car?
-
his car is laser blue so the yellow really pops with the yellow
-
sweet thanks looks good will order the red one i think :)
Tempted by a red one of these too! If you got for it sort out some pictures :happy2:. Is your car red to?
my cars silver :) but with all my cars ive done blue so want a change lol will be getting mine for Christmas from the misses will upload pics Christmas day lol
-
can you still run the engine cover with these?
-
can you still run the engine cover with these?
My cover definately doesnt fit with the induction kit in although you can get some designed to fit snugly with the induction piping.
-
can you still run the engine cover with these?
The p flo isn't designed to fit with the original engine cover but you can cut it to work around the piping for it.
As you can see from the picture i posted on the first page you can see how that differs from the stock air box :happy2:
Alternatively neuspeed do an aftermarket engine cover in carbon fibre but IIRC its around the £200 mark :scared:

Oh cool, you gone red or black? Haven't tried to remove my engine cover yet. Heard a few reports its a bit tricky, but a few guides are kicking around the forum somewhere.

Gone for black mate think the red would look funny once I've chopped an engine cover to fit we had 2 big lads pulling on mine in the specified points yesterday and it wouldn't budge I think someone might have glued it.

Cool, I'm thinking red then spray the centre part of the cover red. You cover sounds a right PITA. I see your other thread about it. Haven't had time to practice removing mine you but hope it plays ball! As you say sounds like someone previous has glued your back on probably VW lol

It happened with mine!! I was sat in their waiting room and in the corner of my eye I saw them struggling...then next thing guy whacks a loud of glue to the cover and pushes down!!! Cheeky little man. SO I made a point of dealing with this. Luckily no effects as was removed quickly. Anyway, I have a nice black mixed with a bit of blue cover for mine. Fits very snugly around my p-low piping. Suits my GTi very nicely.

Good man! I did have my golf out today to take to VW HQ, but forgot completely about photos. When it comes back ill get some.

The neuspeed goodies arrived from GNJ today (quality service) fitted the kit tonight in minus 1 temperatures, it's a very easy kit to install of your mechanically minded and take your time you can't really mess up, took the car for a good drive and I love the kit I don't know what people were moaning about them sounding too loud they aren't at all, they sound awesome you can hear the turbo spooling up and the DV doing its job when you let off and change gear. You really can't beat it for the money to say it's half the price of the forge, itg etc.
-
Glad your happy with it :happy2:
Its true you really cany complain for the price t is a quality piece of kit!

Looks good, but the piping is so small it seems! Compared to the ITG anyways.

They do have a smaller diameter. The size remains the same all the way around. The ITG has a bigger bore up to the MAF.
All I will say though is there are a lot of big power cars in the US that use these trouble free. They are more than capable for tuning on the stock K03/K04.
-
Sorry haven't got any pictures yet as I fitted it in the freezing cold in the dark haha, I bought the kit when I read that it has the same capabilities as the forge ITG etc and im only planning on going stage 2 so it will do me. :happy2:

Glad you are happy with it mate.
We do have a new intake coming next year which will have a bigger bore pipe up to the MAF but I will still sell the Neuspeed as an option as it does the job and looks great.
Honestly if I could buy them a bit cheaper I'd just use them :signLOL:
-
received my kit today from gnj Motorsport looks the part tried fitting it today but couldn't get the clamp off the engine so failed lol

Can you give any more details on that alternative intake? I will be looking to get in intke in the new year.

I received my neuspeed p-flo kit today and will be fitting it to my Cupra K1 in the morning. Looks just at good as a ITG kit for nearly half the price if you ask me!

It will be similar to the ITG and BDM intake. To be honest, there are only so many ways to do it, I am just annoyed at the lack of profit in any of them now after ITG pulled the rug from under all their dealers and got in bed with APR/Awesome.
That said, it will not be a copy, there a few things I think we can do better.
It will have a choice of 11 silicone colours for a start. I just need to decide on the filter head and find an engineering company to build the MAF housing into the pipes and we can start to produce them.
-
Sounds good to me :happy2:
Different colours you say :drool:
-
Sounds good to me :happy2:

Yeah our hose supplier I rate as the best in the UK. They are brilliant quality and they do 11 different colours for no extra charge. I could get the hoses cheaper elsewhere but I want it to be the best it can be so I will be using them.
I am going to try and find a local engineering firm to make the hard pipes with MAF housing this week, once that is sorted we are done, well, I need to decide which filter head to use but that is just a choice really!
-
Wicked :happy2:
Couldnt do me a cheeky deal to get your first sale?
-
i carnt seem to get this clip of at all really bugging me ment to be a 30 min job lol
-
Which clip mate?
-
i carnt seem to get this clip of at all really bugging me ment to be a 30 min job lol
I presume you mean the one which goes onto the turbo? Use some mole grips. :happy2:
-
I was thinking he meant that one, I used snipe nose pliers and moved it up to the flex part of the pipe then just got my fingers round the end of pipe and worked it off the turbo.
-
i carnt seem to get this clip of at all really bugging me ment to be a 30 min job lol
It can be a barstewards to get off, mole grips or plumbing pliers will do the trick.
-
or one of these...

Fitted mine yesterday and my god it's a hell of a lot louder than I was expecting! The spool up noise between 2000-3000rpm is insane! I love it :P
-
got mine fitted now love it what a pain it was lol i don't think its to loud can defiantly hear it tho
-
I can hardly hear mine now I've got the Cobra fitted :)
Ours definitely felt better to drive with it fitted though, the noise is a bonus really :laugh:
-
you can definitely hear them and the car certainly responds better through the rev range, I think they sound great my mate has a K&N one its way louder and sounds woeful glad I went with the neuspeed my carbon fibre neuspeed engine cover should arrive tomorrow. :laugh:

Looks good mate.
Need to get a cover on ours.

Here is a video of the intake fitted to my car
intake noise while driving is awesome under foot throttle. :happy2:
-
I got one over the christmas holidays too.
The noise is awesome. I can see why some people dont like it but i like the noise and has definately improved the performance of the car. Pulls really well :happy2:
