WHOA, that is VERY nice. Won't work on a TSI, battery is in the way

GTI Intake



Om Nom Nom

They're nice. But they're also the most expensive intake I know of on the market. Even more expensive than the "Stage 2" intakes which also replace the pipe back to the MAF/turbo...

Very true. Did the calculation and it was about $1000 AUD.

bloody expensive.

It's due to the new, MED 17.5 ECU being fitted to these cars, the first build polos with the MED 17 could have it done, the MY11.5 update models (also rumoured to have an even newer, MED17.5.5) had it disabled...

Gavs, does that mean if we had MED17.5.5 we could enable dial sweeping? Cause it sure looks smart...turning of the face lighting, sweeping the red dials, and then re-illuminating the dash

The 77TSI does not use a Bosch MED ECU so if that were the case then I don't think it could be enabled. I might get DNA Tuning UK to have a look into it for the next 77TSI I carry out an upgrade on.

I personally would have thought that would be more to do with recoding the instrument cluster.

Ummm, have you asked ABT directly for a start?

Yeah, John is 100% right on both counts. It has to do with the software programming in the instument cluster module, and to also answer the other question, it can only be done on the MED 17 equiped cars, MED 17.5 and the suspected newer update (which is what I call the 17.5.5) no longer can have this programmed. It's in the drop-down list but the actual control moducle in the instrument coding no longer exists

Yeah, it's a quite ridiculous price really and unless they had some monster back-up in regards to consistant, major performance increases without reducing the filtering, I think rocks-in-head would be a good term for anyone who bought one

well... it just goes to show that different people have different requirements. Some people are happy with (practically illegal) open pod filters which maybe have a few pieces of foil shielding to "separate" the pod from the engine, and the pipe running back is rough black plastic. Other people like the full carbon fibre shield surrouding the pod and retain the OEM pipe. Other people like a complete carbon fibre pipe and pod enclosure which still uses the OEM intake slot.

There's something for everyone

Would be a nice feature for my soon to be DNA enhanced 77
