Does anyone know if this will fit a 2016 1.2 tsi? Engine bay in the photos looks identical and I prefer this layout to the Forge one.

TIA

And then there's this sexy looking bit of kit https://www.tmg-performance.com/products/intake/direct-1-2-1-4tsi-ea211-mqb.html

I am interested in intakes other than Forge, want to get the wifes MK3 110BHP DSG mapped soon. Would like it to feed from the front

Hmm possibly, apparently the fabia is PQ26 which is a mixture of PQ25 and MQB platforms... that intake being for the MQB platform so maybe 🤔

I've found it listed on another site as being compatible with the Fabia III 1.2tsi and it's cheaper. 

Think I'm going to go for it

Looks like the silicone hose isn't included in your second link, just to be aware.

Looks tp me that feeds from through the grille and into that half bucket thing. Seems better than the Forge filter location.

Definitely better location than forge, be interesting to know how much bhp this one will give (suspect 5-9bhp) my mapper says the £30 K & N panels give about 5bhp more than the paper stock OEM one. The oil in these engines is always 95c to 100c so that forge one be hotter air surrounding than the paper filter cold air feed

I'll update this post when I fit it. I already had a pipercross panel filter as I was staying stock-ish. Only got the car at the begining of the month and that's gone out the window. Already have the forge dump valve and race chip pro installed. This filter and Eibach springs on the way. Not forgetting the Carista!

Something about getting a little hatchback again has turned back the clock 20 years 🤣

Biggest benefit will probably be easy access to change the filter without having to remove 3 hoses, 3 ball mounts, 2 screws and 4 clips 😝 Not sure what vag were thinking there.

Lol, I know! When I first looked I thought the top of the airbox would just unclip and lift off, but no...

I don’t think other than sound you will get any noticeable difference with an intake alone. I’ve got mine on 140bhp stage 1 with stock. 

So bumped into my neighbour walking my dogs late yesterday afternoon and she tells me that she took in a parcel for me Friday maybe Thursday! Might get it fitted today 

You fitted it yet?

Had it on a little while, really simple install. Nice noise, seems to pull a bit stronger but could just be my imagination. Doesn't suffer with heat soak like some filters 

I’m getting one fitted start of October same time as stage 2 remap and turbo back decat. Can’t wait.

Grab us a couple of pics?

 

Is it loud with the hood down and from inside the car?

I'll get some at the weekend, maybe a little video too.

I think it's quite loud under load but no louder when at cruise 

Please upload a video 

have you got a video yet?

Can you turn it back into standard with this mod ? For warranty reasons ? 

I recently got a forge one. Unfortunately you can't really hear much of a difference from inside the car. I suspect it will sound better from the outside as the filter is right near the front grill. Bhp increase won't be noticeable at all, maybe 1-2bhp.
