Title: An age old question.......
Post by: Boothy on August 20, 2009, 06:48:25 pm: .............Cold air induction kits. What's best?

I should hopefully have around Â£300 to spend on an induction kit soon but it seems a right mine field! The EVOMS is just way too expensive fro me but I want to get something that will make a nice sound. I'll hopefully be getting Bluefin too in a couple of months, providing I've done enough overtime! This will hopefully help it on its way to sounding a bit more urgent!

All advice welcome.

Cheers.

an air intake will make a big difference though and is worth the money. there are a few options available google these below

evoms
Vf engineering
P-flow
forge
BSH

Sorry that was a bit vague wasn't it!

What I meant was that the TFSI engine suffers poor fuelling in the mid rev range and that the standard intake will provide more than enough air for a stage 1. I would personally spend the intake money on an HPFP firstly, unless of course its mainly the indusction noise you're looking for.
