T4 owners!! advice

Ive allready posted a similar question in the performance section, but i'm trying to get as much concensus as pos before i take the leap,

is it worth putting an induction kit (pos k&n) into my ph1 T4 or should i just get a replacement pannel. either way my filter needs replacing.

so opinions please, if anyones allready done it / exsperimented

cheers all,

....... come on rooster!! :9

Haha mr experiment thats me,

Don't bother with an induction kit i put one on my old phase one and it actually lost power didn't gain it and it was a crap fit or the K&N one i had was.

I've just got a K&N panel filter in mine now, you can feel a slight improvement, but i have a exhaust system aswell.

One thing i will say is take the plate off the front of the airbox, you can only see it if you take the battery out, its held on with four self tappers, it will sound evil under hard acceration then. I also took airbox cold feed off aswell cos it just goes into inner wing behind indicator so i couldn't see point in it as it won't really get any cold air.

cheers! I knew i could count on you, hehe

so where are you feeding your cold air from then, have you added an extra pipe from down below?

PS, have ripped out all of the foam sound insulation from inside the airbox :)

service light came on this morning so will have a realy good tinker whilst i'm changing fluids, Thanks for the tip.

Hi.

I did that on mine too.

I loved the noise it made, a bit like a jet engine, but the missus wasn't too impressed. lol.

Later,

Yeah get it ripped out, i had the intension of running a cold air feed down to front bumper but just haven't got round to it yet.

yup yup, Dan, Think i may have blagged the foam idea from one of your old posts, ta

& i'm gonna have a look this weekend to see the best place to run a cold air supply from

might try behind the front grill perhaps? dont fancy running it from under the front spoiler, too many deep puddles & badgers around my way

rooster, your right!!

took the side cover off airbox...... NICE :)

If you take that side panel off the air box does it effect the running of the car.

How? its open any way, its just a baffle

it would suck warm air in, even if the cover was there

or am i missing something?
