Hey Sovereign - can you advise what filter to get (if any), if K&N isn't a wise choice?

The problems with filters is over oiling. The oil gets on the MAF and stops it working properly.

Green Cotton one don't seem to suffer the same problems in my experience.

And just to add a divertor will keep your EPC light off , they will run rich as the system is expecting metered air. Forge divertor IMO

Thought as much - that's why I ran a AEM DryFlow pod on my Mazda3. Funny thing is Green Cotton don't list the GTI, only the 1.9 TDI. Although according to the BMC filters website they both take the same filter...

If you know they are the same dimesions then it'll fit no problems. VAG only have about half a dozen different air filters, to cover nearly every car they built in the last 20 years.

My ETKA doesn't go new enough to look the OE numbers up.

I use this with a K&N filter and am happy with the results.

I use the Forge FMCL007P Closed Loop Diverter valve with a K&N filter ... and wouldn't use anything else. Both together and using a Forge TIP and the Seat intake have added a whole new dimension of smooth / crisp acceleration to my Pog.

But any advice on what types of BOV's and types of flat bed filters (pref. K&N) would be much appreciated....or even if to stay away from BOV's, its your court, let me know.

Cheers to you all my new found fellow dubbers!!

i have a bmc replacemnet panel air filter installed. not a problem as yet. the only probelm with the oiled filters is if there is too much air on them. i have run oiled filters most of my vehicles and i haven't had a problem with them.

bmc are sold through autobahn on the east coast.
