Been hunting around recently for an intake as I got a bit of money to spend just now, but I seem to be going in circles and getting nowhere!
All the forums seen to be revo related and I'm not wanting to waste money when all I had to do was get the right answer from the right person! Guessing this is the holy grail to GTI knowledge :notworthy:
First of all I currently have a 05 Gti with a k03, it has a full stainless decat with a non res miltek box, on the induction side I only have a standard box with a k+no drop in filter, before I go intercooler I figured getting more air was more important than trying to cool half the amount of air I could potentially have! I got it mapped at r-tech so it's all running fine and dandy just now and once I have whatever I buy I'll have it redone by r-tech!
Basically I want to know what people think is the best intake on the market not worrying about a price or anything, cause I'm caught between the twintake system and the revo technik race system! There's probably loads more out there and I just a need pointed in the right direction from people experiences and/ power gains

Revo...

I currently have an 05 k03 with a twintake, it made some decent gains with it and I love the way that it looks but its commonly known its probably not the best intake out there but tbh there's not so much difference between intakes on the k03 compared to k04 cars. Nobody has put a car on the rollers and tested all the intakes back to back to see which one is really the best so tbh its very difficult to get a straight answer, from what I've read revo, itg, evoms are highly rated most of the time.

All good ! :driver: Some maybe better!

Forget the twintake! These are the ones you should be looking at...
-
I got ITG it's huge and sucks like a pro
Butttt if I had to choose again I might of gone for one with a solid pipe as there are lots of
parts and clamps to the ITG setup.
-
I've got the itg , nice bit of kit , but as said there's quite afew parts to it . :wink:
-
REVO.
I've had a few different kinds and IMO it's the best.
:happy2:
-
Evoms is a brilliant intake at a good price but doesn't look that special. The Revo is better and looks superb but comes with a hefty price tag. I've had both and the only reason I swapped to the Revo was that I got it at a fraction of the list price.
-
ITG ftw!
-
Revo ceramic FTW
-
ITG ftw!
+1 :wink:
-
You can't beat the revo ceramic for aesthetics as well as performance! Nice, clean, smooth one piece etc with great gains. Oh and the noise :evilgrin:

+1 evons, looks ok. brilliant performance

REVO,EVOMS,ITG -in that order

Can't comment on the others, but I had an ITG on my old GTi and it was amazing! Best mod I done.
-
I've just had revo intake fitted to my ED30. I'm very happy and would highly recommend!

Hi, I am looking at Mods for my standard ED30, what difference does this make?
-
Just adding the intake will make it a bit more responsive and I found it breathes a bit better at high RPM's but is mostly a noise mod however with a remap and intake you'll see a very nice power gain and the same benefits as above but more so. Its still worth adding an intake without a map but to get the Max from it a remap is needed. :happy2:
-
I can't comment on intake at standard mate but remap and intake = transformed!
-
Evoms :happy2: sounds like darth vader after a 100m sprint
-
^^^^ They all sound like Luke's dad having an asthma attack to be honest! :grin:

Nothing wrong with the MTC kit on eBay, has been proven to flow well and is very cheap in comparison to the likes of the Revo intake (granted it's not as pretty :love:)
Or you can make your own for even less

Intakes are good if you drive hard everywhere i.e track day but be prepared to sacrifice low end torque, which is what you use when town driving. I had one fitted and then refitted the oe cover at stage 2 +. I found it was a more rounded car with good low end/mid range and only sacrificed a few hp top end; which performance wise will not make a lot of difference. Also some intakes do mess up the maf readings and can lead to poor running. My car ran 270bhp with std engine cover and paper filter :happy2:

When does the standard intake become a bottleneck ?
For an Ed30 with a basic remap, will I benefit from a large cone filter and pipe to the turbo inlet?
Will this ghetto version work well ? :grin: http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=388067

Another vote for ITG here, although all I can compare to is standard.

A k04 has basically got no lag anyway
