best intake for 08 mk5 gti

[ghostccf]

hey guys whats the best intake for a mk5? i want the most power possible also the most reliablity out of an intake. im thinking cold air, but i wanna be sure.

[trunks]

i just got the neuspeed p-flow intake and it is amazing lol, and it even has almost a blow off sound which is nice to. but about hp havent had it dynod yet but it is reliable and it does work nice.

i have a k&n and they dynod it at 18horsepower at the flywheel.
it sounds really nice. i want to get a chip and see if there is a bigger difference in sound
from stock.

hey how does it fit? cause it looks a little bigger in the picture then the neuspeed p flow and my friends trying to decide which one to get also, neuspeed or k&n. any help?

I actually was very very lucky, my cousin works in research and development at k&n and i got the intake, installation and dyno for free. i havent seen the neuspeed, but i know for the k&n to fit the engine cover has to come off. also, one of the main reasons i went with k&n is that vw can be a major pain in the ass if they find out you do any mods to your car. k&n has an entire legal defense team to go after car manufacturers when they bitch and moan about mods. so i knew if vw complained that the intake did something i just call k&n and let them take care of it.

i have an 08 gti mkv and i have the k@n cold air intake. it fits perfect. but what engine do u have? because i'm pretty sure it doesn't fit on the new engine. When u chip it the sound really doesn't change. You are boosting a lot more so u will hear the turbo. You will hear it when the car is cold pretty well tho. and i went to auto zone and they ordered it straight from k@n. 1 of the guys said he went and told them he found it cheaper online and they gave him a deal. I dunno if the p-flow comes with a heat shield but the k@n does and it helps.

well its not about me its about ghost but i got the fsi turbo motor and last one in stock at my vw store. so i was quite happy about that. o and thx for the help. it narrows down my decisions.

I have an EVOMS. Can't really say much on the HP increase but i can tell you that the throttle response has improved and the blow off noise is something that you'll never get tired of. Costs quite a bit more than most but imo the design seems a bit more sturdy.

[trunks]

well ghost i think u should have an idea on wat to get now, i know my friend does and he is going with the k&n. thx for the help guys.

[ghostccf]

yea guyz thanks alot for all ur help. i think ima look into the k&n lol but i got the fsi turbo motor, itll fit without a problem right?

yup thats the motor i got and mine fits no prob.

[pxchoi]

I was also looking at the K&N. It shouldn't void the warranty right?

Also is installation pretty simple or is it best to get a professional to do it?

How does it affect gas mileage?

I drive an 08 with the FSI Engine as well and it looks like most places online are selling it for $266, sound about right?

Thanks

Haha 18hp from a CAI. That was misleading info. I saw that before and they admitted it was false data. No intake gives gains that big. Go got the P-flow no doubt.

[MDgti08]

i paid a little under 300 for mine with tax. it doesn't void the warranty. for mpgs it went up about 1 mpg so nothing really.

[ghostccf]

so the increase in hp between the p flow and the k&n is about the same?

[MDgti08]

i don't know for sure but i don't see why one would have a lot more then the other. i have the k&n and i recommend it. But i don't think u can go wrong either way.

im getting an evoms intake installed today so we will see how that goes, but i heard it might be better because it has a 3 inch pipe instead of a 2 1/2, so that might make a difference.

[ghostccf]

later on im getting a 3 inch dowpipe, wouldnt it make sense to get a 3 inch piping for the intake?

[NvrDuplicated69]

i have the neuspeed p-flo but this spring im gonna give it back to the kid i bought it from and by an evoms v-flow

[trunks]

ya the evoms is nice thats wat i got. it sounds soo nice to lol.

[CMAK]

what do you think of this one i think that the extension would be a problem if theres water
