audi 1.8t intake ??'s

[Domesaudi]

hey guys whats up im intake shopping

and dont wanna drop major $$$$ on a carbonio intake

so i was wondering what intake you would recommend

or what are you running on and how does it run

would love some feed back thanks guys

[biketsai]

Dont put one on. Nothing will increase performance. They wouldn't have designed that airbox and put it in all of the cars if it wasn't efficient.

[Domesaudi]

yeah thanks bro

im just looking for a lil more power

and a more aggressive sound

all i have is a front mount,k04 turbo,apr dv,tt downpipe,borla exh,giac chip

It might change the sound out if you get a cone filter, but if you do you HAVE to get a heatshield of some sort. Or else you are just heating up that air going into your intake.

[SykoraA4]

and make sure you have a giac tune for that ko4, its not worth it to have a ko4 on a a standard reflash.

Anyone have a good link on a DIY cone filter?

[eurotecknik]

my .02 cents. Not worth it. Do as you wish but unless you want to just save space don't do it. I am running stock air box on a gt28 elim. I may even post pics up today.

[20vpower]

just buy a filter and stick it on your maf and the maf on your tip, add heatshield, done.

edit: i put one in on mine because the airbox gets annoying to take in and out

[JumboBlack1.8]

Just make one.....buy a mandrel bent u-pipe on ebay, a couple silicone couplers, a cone filter, and somethin to make a heatshield....that'd cost significantly less that any other aftermarket kit

heres one i made way back when:

still got that cone too....pm me if u want it

You won't gain any increase in power. But if it is only sound you are looking for, then go for it (note: even though comanies claim gains, you won't see any. the stock airbox was built rather effeciently to handle up to a GTRS of proper flow, but many get aftermarket filters with thier BT setups). There is always the swiss cheese mod to the stock air box, and the greater thing is it if free .

[kampfer]

What is the little filter for? I read about it but didn't really understand.

[Seerlah]

Secondary Air Injection filter. The tube would have used the stock airbox for the filter.

[kampfer]

Does the 99.5 have that hose, or was it only pre face lift? I want to do this also but the DIY isn't dumb down enough for me.

[Jkilla71]

I run a K&N cone filter & a Blinktek heat shield BlinkTekDesign.com. I just mounted it on the MAF.
It sounds great…with a K04-015. I have a VR6 MAF due to the larger injectors but I ran the same setup with a smaller filter and stock MAF on the K03.

My 99.5 avant doesn't have the secondary injection pump...just needed the intake filter

[JMG]

IMHO there are very little gains from any type of aftermarket filter. If anything I would just switch out your filter for a K&N or ITG panel and KEEP IT CLEAN.

[kampfer]

Yeah I thought so, I couldn't find it so I gave up thinking I was an idiot... guess I'm not

[Seerlah]

I read threads of people messing up thier MAFs with those aftermarket filters with the oils (ie K&N). What happens is the oils from the filters end up building up on the MAF sensor element and causing it go go bad. Just a heads up. Stick with the stock.

[kampfer]

Don't they have dry filters now? you could use those that's what I'm looking at.

[Seerlah]

Dry filters are the way to go

[jayraudi9]

aem make the best dryflow filters imo. thats what im running now

[njm23]

Changing the intake is pointless unless it is for a look. I ran an open filter, but that is only because my stock airbox was useless to me seeing that it broke, so I had bought a 5$ cone filter stuck it on the MAF and called it a day. Only 2000 and newer cars have the SAI system fyi.

[beAu4]

or you can just do this

IMO, unless your going to buy the carbonio intake, leave your stock airbox alone. Read this link. It's about the B7, but it's the same principal.

yeah ive done the intake mod.. all it does is makes your turbo louder.. you can actually hear it spool now..and you can hear the stock dv alot better as well.

[J Ozzie]

Oh and that or you can do this... i dont think id do that.. shitty deal in the winter being so many holes in your fender cover...
