    The PD160 intake is quite sufficient when it comes to power and responsiveness, other air intakes simply provide more induction noise and add to the placebo of power, i find taking the engine vw cover off provides a fair bit acceleration noise

    I'm interested in the intake, its been a project I've wanted to do for ages, but I've not got around to yet. The unfortuante reality is that to do it the way I want, I have to remove the SAI (again) and move the battery or use a smaller battery, all which require some level of fabrication, which I don't think I have the skill for and don't want to pay someone else to do...

    1 step at a time I guess...

    Could buy the oval BMC OTA and shift the standard battery right just a little. This is my plan in a week or two (have it gathering dust in my garage at the moment). Costs a decent amount though.

    I've got the actual cylinder one, which has been sitting in the garage brand new about 6 months ago, lol. Maybe we should install together Kang haha.

    Don't think I'll lay out the cash for a CDA, what is the MAF connection sizing? 2.5"?

    Maybe something more like this (with a better filter): POD FILTER INTAKE STARTER KIT WITH INDUCTION PIPE "NEW" | eBay

    I can see myself installing something for a month or 2, not noticing any difference and putting it back the way it was...

    Think it's 2.75" from memory.
