Re: Vw 2E/ADY/AGG/ABA decisions decisions, which 1 do I buy?
look if the bends are proper and dont compress then its ok. i did not check and the bends from my 57mm went down to 27mm and is the reason i made such poor power. i would rather get it done from somewhere i know it would be done right the first time

Hi, Everyone
So by the looks of things I'm finally upgrading my induction to the OEM flatpad filter box. Just 1 question the pipe from the throttle to the box does it have to be oem or can I get a plastic pipe with silicone bends like some guys on the forum are doing? Ofcoz then I'll seal it with some clamps. Thanx for the help already I'm expecting to be swamped with informative responses.

Re: Vw 2E/ADY/AGG/ABA decisions decisions, which 1 do I buy?
Yeah bud you will be fine with an aftermarket pipe. Get one of those aluminium ones, thats what I am using, you just need one straight silicone piece to connect the pipe to the airbox. If you get the right pipe it will come with the reducer from the pipe to the airboxThe Gti Guy wrote:Hi, Everyone

Re: Vw 2E/ADY/AGG/ABA decisions decisions, which 1 do I buy?
look at the picture, you will see the silicone connector between the airbox and aluminium in take pipe and then you will see the reducer between the aluminium intake pipe and the throttle body. It allows you to connect the larger diameter aluminium pipe to the smaller diameter throttle body, reducing in size from one diameter to another

Re: Vw 2E/ADY/AGG/ABA decisions decisions, which 1 do I buy?
Methanol or any1 else with advice is more than welcome to chip in here. I spoke to my friend who says the long metal pipe with the cone that upon installation sits just behind the headlight is also a good CAI set up and if ur car is modded will yield greater gains than the standard airbox with flat filter? Is this true?

Re: Vw 2E/ADY/AGG/ABA decisions decisions, which 1 do I buy?
Well from what has been discussed on the forum quite a few times as well as various tests done by various guys, there are no appreciable gains to be had by adding a cone filter. There are three main reasons why guys use cone filters, the first and most common reason is because it can give a more aggressive intake sound, making a car sound mean (think of all the 1.4i Citi Golf's that run them). The second reason is because people are sheep, if someone who you consider to be "cool" or "the man" uses one on his/her car, the vast majority of people will copy that person if they don't know any better. The third reason, and this is more practical is simply due to space issues. This is most often found when people do turbo conversions on engines that didn't have a turbo from the factory. Boost pipes and turbo location can sometimes result in there being no space for an airbox. You get the guys with the MK5/6/7 gti's that change to a cone filter because they often change to an aftermarket intake pipe, or throttle pipe as some call it. This aftermarket pipe often isn't designed to work with the OEM airbox, thus they use a cone filter instead.The Gti Guy wrote:Methanol or any1 else with advice is more than welcome to chip in here.

Also if you are running an ITB(independent throttle body) or side draught carb setup, you can't use the standard airbox most of the time.
I am running an MP9 airbox on my engine, the only thing I have changed on it is de-trumpeted the airbox which gives it a nicer sound but doesn't compromise it's ability to filter in coming air. The air intake of the MP9 airbox sits right behind the headlights, so there is no reason to get a cone filter and place it behind the headlights, because that is exactly where my airbox sits already

But judging by the general consensus, the MP9 airbox is better than a cone filter.
Yes you will also get better fuel economy with the airbox and the paper filter works better than the majority of the cone filters when it comes to actually filtering the air!!

Re: Vw 2E/ADY/AGG/ABA decisions decisions, which 1 do I buy?
Guys
My throttlebody gave in so I got myself a Mp9 t/b problem is now the car is overfueling like a mofo idling like a truck and use like 7L of fuel for 15km. Subsequently I parked the car and now is going to fix. Would I need to Dyno tune again? If so I think I'm going to do everything I want like 57mm exhaust, 282 estas and headwork. I also want to add polymounts would this also be a good mod?
Please advise.

Re: Vw 2E/ADY/AGG/ABA decisions decisions, which 1 do I buy?
Only reason the throttle body will cause the engine to over fuel is if the TPS is faulty (or needs calibration), fooling the ECU into thinking that the throttle is wider open than what it really is. Poly mountings is always a good mod, I use Prothane in the front mount, Wikus's custom gearbox mount in the rear and solid Goldwagon press-fit mountings on the sides. Engine movement is minimal = better traction and gear shifts.The Gti Guy wrote:Guys

Re: Vw 2E/ADY/AGG/ABA decisions decisions, which 1 do I buy?
TPS is integrated with the idle motor in the same housing so I don't know if it's possible to replace it. You can open it up and give it a good clean with electrical contact cleaner and see if it helps. Vibration is not too bad, my GT is stripped out - no carpets, sound deadening and hard coilies and I love it. It all depends on what you can live with at the end of the day...
