Anyone Had either of these induction kits ?

[CEPi]

I have EVOMS TSI Induction kit, no problems at all.

Does anyone have the NEUSPEED P-FLO KIT , does it make any kind of roar on noise on a standard car ? Also can you hear the standard dump valve with it

I have run the Carbonspeed for a couple of years. Mine came with a piper cross filter. it was easy to fit but no instructions in box. There was a picture and fit guide on here. I is pretty quiet and is unaffected by wet weather. I paid £120 from awesome gti. I looks good.

I had the carbonspeed kit on my tsi. It looks great in the engine bay but ended up selling it as I didn't notice any difference (my car has stage 1 map as well), im fact I noticed a slight flat spot when accelerating gently in the mid range. Refitted the oe airbox and the problem disappeared.. Whilst i never had any issues with water ingress I didn't use it in the winter as the filter is in direct line of spray, grit, snow etc. It gave slighlty more turbo noise but wasn't excessive. If your buying one for performance gains then don't get your hopes up. Even if it gave you say five hp gain, would you honestly notice that in a 200bhp car.....I doubt it. I certainly wouldn't pay two or three hundred pounds for one. I got mine for 120 and sold it on again for the same price.

I don't care about bhp gains. I know induction kits are placebos for boy racers . I just think the standard vrs is far to quite and want to hear the air intake/dump valve more .

I run an autotech, which uses a k&n filter.

Much cheaper than both of the above

Apologies for the thread resurrection but better that than starting a new topic on the same old stuff. Si, after some relentless searching you keep coming up as someone running the Autotech kit. I'm due to finally go stage 1 in February, but as I know from experience that doesn't last long before more is wanted/needed/essential. I've got an opportunity to pick one of these kits up for cheaper than the already reasonable 145 so would value your honest opinion on the kit itself. Is it easy to install!? Is it worth paying the 49 quid extra for a p-flo?!

Thanks in advance!

I'm running a Neuspeed P-Flo on a vRS TFSI. To be honest I doubt there will be any difference between mine and Autotech bar the name. They seem to be of similar construction: 1 large pipe with a neck to the turbo and a cone filter.

Only thing to add is the heatshield under the MAF section and perhaps a heatshield from the likes of AmD (although my separate heatshield cost £90).

If you can get the Autotech one cheaply; do it. My P-Flo gained 9 bhp and 27 lb-ft on a RR at stage 1. Did loose a bit of lowdown torque but improved midrange and top end performance.

Thanks for the advice Stu. Did the P-Flo come with the maf section heatshield?

[Stu08]

No problems. Yes the P-Flo came with the heatshield under the MAF section.

However, it didn't come with one to separate the cone filter from the engine bay; so I bought one from AmD.

[Stu08]

If you type TFSI turbo heatshield into Google, there is a company called garagemidnight.com who sell the heatshield for £25.

[ashS_skoda]

Waste of money, no bhp gains or sound gains on the TFSI.

Sound gain? I think on any car when you put an air filter on it gives off a different tone, even my first 1.2 Clio 16v with a K&N had a deeper sucking tone.

My Octy dumps and sucks loads and pretty loud even outside the car.

Power gain can be debated for hours,

[ashS_skoda]

I've just logged my BDM intake (ITG Maxogen copy)

Previous stock box read 258GS, new intake reads 273GS. A 15GS increase.

Excuse the dirty bay.

What's that pipe running from near the turbo end of the induction down the left tide towards front of car?

[clem87]

Ive got the typhoon on my tfsi vrs and very happy with it. The sound is awesome and she picks up quicker.

[bubba]

Had a P-flo on my Seat Leon Cupra, big waste of money, just made loads of noise which became annoying in the end, great for boy racers.....

[KR MAN]

Both of these seem worth considering;

Not sure which engine you're running but both appear to have decent power graph improvments with them.....

Once again thanks for that Stu. All ordered so should accompany the stage 1 map nicely. At £177 delivered I can't complain.

Not very often I come on here now so sorry for the late reply, I see your sorted anyway which is good but if I was to do it again I wouldn't go with a single piece kit I'd go with the mtc kit on ebay and get an itg filter. The auto tech strangled it at top end tbh. I ran it as I got it cheap.

Cheers. I think to compliment my stage 1 remap it'll be fine although the mtc kit does look a fairly neat system.

[SNH]

You should be fine at stage 1. The maf area isn't great on them I found our when I looked into upgrading mine. Never bothered as the cars going but the mtc and others that aren't single piece where better as they kept the original maf housing

[RichVRS777]

Well this kit arrived today. I almost cancelled and went for the Neuspeed despite their similarities but eventually decided to retain my order. Pretty easy to fit, the hose clip on the turbo is a son of a bitch even with clamp pliers. Heat shield didn't arrive so I'll have to fit that at a later date. One slight nightmare scenario, after tightening the thread rod that attaches it to the engine block there was a nice crack sound. I'm going to assume it was the thread rod and not the composite tube.....

Too dark to check the damage at the mo.

Sounds good and should go well with my shark remap.

If I had my time again I'd buy a kit where the filter sits closer to the headlight but this will do for now (unless you see it in the classifieds in a couple of weeks...)

[Paulbrown]

I have the Carbonspeed one on mine and its has made a diff to the sound but wouldn't say it's made any change to performance

[RichVRS777]

Update to the above.

Turns out I had snapped the original mounting bolt that attaches the intake to the engine. I don't think it was down to overtightening I think it's either a poor part in general or I just got a bad one.

Either way I cut down a section of M6 thread rod and used some tap washers to replicate the rubber spacer on the original part. Much tighter fit now with the added unfortunate bonus of having to remove when the heatshield arrives...

A bodge job that ends up better than the original part!
