Air Intake HELP

[GTI racer]

Is there a cold air intake that i can get on my GTI that doesn't require me to remove or trim the stock engine cover?

[Lil Fussell]

yes the Carbonio Cold Air Intake

[GTI racer]

are there any that are connected to a pipe.

[SpeeDemon]

Make sure if you go with the Carbonio to remove the MAF screen inside the stock cover. It will add a few extra HP...lil trick I've learned from:

false. the pipe is way too big and is right in the way of the engine cover. you can trim the cover to fit. need a table saw or something like that. or if your good with a dremel and have a few hours to kill. i might do that to mine one of thease days.

this is prolly what they were talking about.

what is the hp gain with the Carbonio CAI?

[TwinTurboBoost]

not enough for you to feel, but def. sounds great. It will also make your dv sound louder. I would say you can get like 7 hp with a nice intake.

It's pretty close...

However, if I lived in an area that floods on a regular basis, I'd consider it.

My streets flood on a reg. basis so I went short ram

Smart.

[D.Light]

Thank ya kindly sir

[banditscout]

The difference in power between a short ram and a full CAI is negligable on our cars...At the velecity that the turbo pulls in outside air, there isn't much time for it to heat up...just my 2 cents.

[D.Light]

Thats what i was thinking, add a heat shield to it and pretty much no heat will get in there

go for the neuspeed and do this

did u cut you Engine cover?
i want the car to just sound good.
will the K&N drop-in filter make it sound louder?

I just added a K&N drop filter to mine and it made it a little louder but not a lot. It does add some WHP but how much I couldn't tell you. Probably only a little less than a CAI would. Just have your resonator removed, this will add a better sound to your exhaust. I gotta do this soon.....

See kryptonkid's post http://myfastgti.com/volkswagen/show...lips-3225.html

He's got a link to hear it too on page 2....

After I get my short ram slapped on this weekend I'll be takin the ole gti down to an exhaust shop to get the resonator removed, probably monday, I'll try to get a sound clip up for the MKIV guys.
