1.8T's - What intake do you have?

Re: 1.8T's - What intake do you have? (pooz01wolfsburg)

i just ordered the carbonia. should be in a few days. e-mail me and when i install it ill let you know how well it works.

Re: 1.8T's - What intake do you have? (pooz01wolfsburg)

Get the EVO or the BMC... Depending on the sound you want... EVO = higher pitched w/ sweet BOV like sound.... BMC = lower growl and nice sucking sound....
hmmm decisions decisions...
That's where Im at right now too!.. Sorry if I confused you even more!

Re: 1.8T's - What intake do you have? (1.8Trippin)

There was a guy on here the other day that posted that the EVO basically gave no power gains. And I am not sure that the BMC gave me any gains either. I just got block 120 last night by BoostedVdub, and with my mods listed below I went from
177hp/174lbs... stock to:
184hp/202lbs... with intake, forge, ATP dp/cat.
I am guessing that the majority of these gains came from the dp/cat. But I never had it dynoed with just the intake. To be honest I just have it for the sound and increased throttle response. At low end I can feel a little bit quicker response with the snorkel ran to the fender.

(Saturn performance comments) Hahahahahaha - that's funny!! I had a Saturn coupe before I got my VW. Yeah, there is a Saturn performance world out there! It's not that big, but it has been growing slowly.

1.8TRIPPIN: I was looking for a nice growl, but nothing really loud and obnoxious. I probably shouldn't install an different intake then, right??!! But I really like the look of the BMC CDA and the new Carbonia.

Re: 1.8T's - What intake do you have? (pooz01wolfsburg)

I've had both the Euro-Sport Acc Cool-Flo and the BMC CDA. I like the BMC better. It gave better performance gains and a better sound. Personally I don't think I would take my chances buying a BMC from the Race Store though.

Re: 1.8T's - What intake do you have? (RVs021.8T)

Has anyone actually documented any horsepower gains for any intake on the 1.8T? Not sure if I think it's worth it just for the sound...although how noticeable is the increased throttle response? How about MAF issues?

I did a block 120 after the intake install. Max hp was 200. That was with only the APR chip and the intake, everything else was stock. So, unless the APR claims are low(which I doubt) I gained about 4 hp. I don't have any before results with the Euro-sport becase I got the VAG-COM after I installed the BMC.

I heard from someone that heard that Adrenalin Motorsports is selling the BMC CDA. I just e-mailed them about it. I'd like to order it, but NOT from The Race Store.

Re: 1.8T's - What intake do you have? (pooz01wolfsburg)

K&N drop in. Stock I guess.

Re: 1.8T's - What intake do you have? (boostedvdub)

What is a "block 120"? Is this a measurement block out of the ECU since you mentioned the VAG-COM? If so, what data does that block give?

Re: 1.8T's - What intake do you have? (Spiro SU)

Adrenalin has it listed here.

take a look at this - http://www.watercooledvw.com/cai.htm

Take it from someone who's done numerous home-grown CAI's-to-airbox mods...they don't begin to offer what an Evo (and I'm guessing AEM too) can offer.
I truly wish I could take back the time and effort expended on these pursuits.
The airbox is good, modding it will get you nothing.
