Panel filter time?

[Richierich32]

Afternoon all, hope we all had a good Christmas ( I did as Santa took my car to sport tech and got it Revo'd )

After my remap I was thinking of trying to increase the air flow to the engine. From what I've read the extra air flow and bhp gained is marginal at best, however there are some posts stating that its a worth while upgrade as the engine tends to run out of breath higher up the rev-range with the stock filter.

Any opinions on this peeps? If a worthwhile upgrade, which is best? K&N, Green, Pipercross etc...

Cheers, off for a sherry now

P.S - Anybody got any info on higher pressure fuel pumps? The guy at sports tech mentioned that one of the limitations on power for the TFSI engine was fuel delivery...

on a mapped car i think you should improve the breathing,i have a pipercross filter and i think it is fine,tho others have had problems fitting them

pipercross gets my vote for cost and noticable difference

It's a slippery slope - and you are stood right on the slippery part mate.

I case you lost the links I MSN'd you, the fuel pump is Autotech.

Gone for a Green panel filter from Awsome, only £36 inc vat AND postage (briskoda discount used of course!)
