Hello

 

I have one question. I bought this kit for Skoda Octavia RS 2007 TDI.  (170HP ->200HP)

Now i am wondering if i should leave air filter like this, or should give another pipe down to get cooler air, or to close from up with another black plate and give direct air... Or sell it and build back original box and then buy sport filter for box?

 

I wanted to get cool air. That was my first meaning. Then sound and perform-ens.

Because i also changed to bigger inter-cooler from S3 and from plastic with flaps to ALU intake manifold.

 

Thanks for any suggestions.

Best regards, Dejan. 

You won't get any more performance than the stock setup as a diesel is controlled on fuel instead of intake like a petrol car*.

Noise may increase.  With the setup you have there you may in fact be reducing performance due to the warm air. You are asking about a cold feed but you really need it to be enclosed and isolated from the engine bay to make it work at least to stock levels.

 

* That is unless you have other tuning and mods to match. Think bigger injectors, bigger turbo, higher pressure/flow fuel system. Big exhaust (turbo back).
