Intercoolers and for Polo GTI and TDI...and other products!

[Greg Roles]

unfortunatly cold air intakes are an adventurous mod at best because of the way the battery is situated.

Is Jon's diesel airbox the same as the GTI airbox, or do we need to have a gander at a GTI as well?

Thanks guys, but Jon was first to offer, and as he's a fellow dieseller, well he's in.

Anything that gives a result on a diesel will give an even better result on a "gasser", and then you polo-ers can decide where to spend your money.

Jon has a GTI.... i thought the name Jon_GTI and the pic of a GTI logo would have been a dead giveaway

^ Correct, not sure where you got that from Greg?? You've seen my car before too, but maybe you weren't paying attention

its sort of an ongoing topic, the biggest problem is moving /relocating the battery. the only solution so far is to put a smaller battery in. but like i said any alternative ideas are certainly welcome.

Oh, now that you mention it, what was I thinking? No biggie, GTI will be fine, I'll find a lil diesel to molest sooner or later. Same intercooler, same issues....

I'm currently working on a custom CAI that will basically use a modified stock airbox and some custom piping. It'll take me a little while but as soon as I have it perfected I'll post something up to get everyone's opinion.

actually when i was looking at the k and n website, they had some interesting intakes.by all means , share the resaults when you get it set up.

why did i even bother starting this thread? it got hijacked and then thrown far off topic.

obviously no-one is interested in any of the products i found apart from a 'maybe' on the TIP, so i will close this very soon.

anyones 'how do APR FMIC's handle track days?' questions can be asked via PM or a new thread thanks.

and thank you sharkie for starting your own thread re: EOI Polo GTI FMIC's!

Rhys, im VERY interested in the products on that site. I just gotta find out if its a GT1749va or GT1749vb. If its a va, then thats crap as those things apparently arent all-too-reliable. VB, however, and now i know how much my potential replacement turbo (and Josh's) is gonna cost when ours blow.

Thanks Rhys!

you'll have to enquire yourself scott, i'm not going to try to contact them again. i don't have time for sh*t service. in my books, no reply after two enquiries offering to buy 5-10 units is sh*t service.

Cheers

can only agree, best to avoid companys that offer ***** customer service. especially when there located 4000 miles away and cant evan be bothered giving you the time of day.
