Hey guys...

I wanna get an air-filter (K&N) fitted into my 2.0. It's a quick car but I feel I can get just a little bit more oomph out of it by adding a sports air filter.

What are the pros & cons?? Increased bhp by how much (I know its very small but how much?)? Deeper exhaust note? Please advise.

It's my birthday today btw:) Thinking of fitting neons (green or red) under the car...car is metallica black, heavily tinted...what do you guys think?

well on a non-turbo petrol car the gains are not that much so uless you are going to be doing a lot of other mods in the future to get the power up it is not really worth the money as you will only see about 5%

Happy birthday by the way

Thanks for wishin

I spoke to my service manager..he said id get a five percent gain, but that it ain't bad at all for the two litre, id be gobblin in much more air and there would be a power change most definitely. Hopefully will pick on up tomorrow

Give it a go, cant do any damage apart from breaking the MAF sensor

Opt for a Green filter IMO or a proper K&N Induction kit and get a Cold air feed to it so that it doesnt suck in all that engine heat :thumpup:

MAF? That the sensor whihc the CPU uses to determine the amount of air going in the car? Damn electronics..in any case, I asked my service manager about that..he said that as long as we I put the new air filter in the existing housing, it will be fine...removing the housing completely poses a problem.

How much does an induction kit & a cold air feed cost?

IMHO forget the neons :(

Green Panel filter.

What does IMHO stand for? I figure its for 'i must honestly ....'?

Sorry after looking around on the K&N web site I can only find a panel filter for the 2.0L in which case the cold air feed imo will be pointless' date=' unless your just wanting cold air in your engine bay which I suppose is always a good thing in which case you can get on HERE.

For those of you who own a vRS however K&N now do an induction kit:

SKODA Fabia 1.9L L4 DSL - 130BHP, vRS Automotive 57i Kit 57-0581

But I would definately recommend cold air feeds if you are going down that route, otherwise you'll be just sending cooked air back into your engine :(

Unsure of the power gains also, someone fit one and let us know how it sounds and what power gains you experience.
