Any luck with the filters mate? Im after one too!

It's not "wurf 2 fousand break eezee mate" ; 3 or 4 bhp is more realistic, and the engine will feel "brighter".

it will do nothing at all - need a remap or carbed engine to see a benefit

Agree with stskoda - it will do nothing apart from emptying your wallet. All diesels are designed to run with excess air (oxygen) with the standard filter . Unless you plan to increase the fuelling to increase power, then fitting a performance filter to a standard diesel engine is a bit like dressing your granny in running shorts - she may look cool but she can't run any faster !

I am looking at getting a re-map, however, nobody on here so far has suggested a reliable supplier for the 105bhp tdi engine.....
