Appointment needed please

[Blugg]

Tuesday 19th March

1.6 SR for the chip thing.

Also for a look and tell on what else i can have done in the future. :)

[John@DNA]

What time would sir require to arrive?

[Blugg]

One was thinking 13:30 although one could skip one's class if needed which would mean 11am

I don't mind, up to you. Best you don't miss class though surely?

[Blugg]

Good point, 23 april and then i'm off that week. :)

23rd April and not the 19th of March then?! :)

[Blugg]

Yes please, also i'll need one of those induction kits put in. Do you put them in ? There the foam things which replace the air filter right ? And also anything else you might suggest that would go well with my blugg. Limited to £600 though. Would you fit a cardene spoiler for me too ? Sort of know where you are as when i met markymark he said you weren't too far from him. Maybe i need to buy the induction filter thing kit first. If this needs to be done let me know.
Sorry for throwing all this at you but i'd like to get Blugg up to a good standard.

[Jabbroni]

blugg whats a cardene spoiler look like? ;)

With an induction kit you won't see massive gains but it will look better if you're having a Cone type etc. It will sound a little sportier too! Not sure if anyone does an exhaust for the 1.6 which would also help looks and a little performance, I've looked at Milltek and Jetex and neither do an out of the box exhaust for yours, you might be able to do a powerflow though as they make them on the car!

[Blugg]

At DubFreeze, both the show Bug's had Zorstec.net ones installed on their 1.6's also i found out that K&N do one too at Ultimate Dubs. Must find that business card. L4DY H (11) Has a Zorstec too in her 1.6

Sorry, i'm not being bg headed as you know far more than myself about these matters but i have done a little research ;) :)

Ok well I've been in the industry for ages and I've never heard of Zorstec! This is for an intake or exhaust?

Sorry John didn't understand the link. Was that a good link or bad link as to K&N being crap or good ? I was told which one to get by the K&N rep at the UD's show.

As for the Zorstec i hope i still have a pic, i'll look now.

Yeah K&N are good, that's the exact one for yours. The pic, Zorstec? Looks like a Pipercross one to me???

This is the Zolstec one

I'd go K&N personally, at least they're well known

[Blugg]

Can you get one or do i need to bring one with me ?

[John@DNA]

[ch23456][ch29289][ch23621][ch23478]]Can you get one or do i need to bring one with me ?

Either/or I only really sell my tuning so I probably won't get it any cheaper than you but I can ask if you like?

[Blugg]

What about exhausts, they add horse power i've heard ??

[John@DNA]

[ch23456][ch29289][ch23621][ch23478]]What about exhausts, they add horse power i've heard ??

They do but frequently people claim they add more than they do! What you need to remember is airflow through the engine (easier in/easier out) is always a good thing(well nearly and we'd be going into harmonics at that point) you will see an increase in throttle response, vocal quality(so it sounds faster therfore it must be faster) as well as a performance benefit. I'd recommend doing it purely on having it sound sexier, but yes there is the performance gain although not as much a benefit as the remap by a fair way.

[MrsEvvo]

u could think of it like the old tunes slogan "helps you breathe more easily".....the more air u can get into the bugs engine because its more cramped than a nuns wotsit ;D the better. Cold air induction kits are great for that as is the V5 sport front wheel arch liner all these will assist with a good quality remap :)

[John@DNA]

What's the difference with the V5 wheel liner?

On the 1.8T the S3/TT it is vented.

On a 1.8T any improvement on airflow over the intercooler is also VERY desireable!

[MrsEvvo]

the 1.8T bugs arent vented like the TT/S3 so its an aftermarket mod to do yourself....what do you mean as in whats the different? im a girl talk to me like im 5 years old please ;)

[John@DNA]

[MrsEvvo]

now its funny cos K&N filters on the bugs are ****e....Pipercross Vipers give better performance, better looks and have better reliability - in the Turbos that is

[John@DNA]

Go pipercross then! I've not seen the routing of the cold air feed on these which is key, also is it a sound difference as in induction noise? As this is frequently mistaken for more performance...

[MrsEvvo]

ive got a pipercross viper on mine and the cold air feed is way down in the front of the bumper hoovering lots of lovely cold air to keep Jack happy. They make good kits - when we had the Type R we went down to their workshop and they fitted the Viper to it in the same set up as they do for their race cars. You dont notice a huge noise difference on the bugs cos unlike the Type-Rs they rev point is quite low but you do notice a performance and fuel difference :)

[John@DNA]

I'd dealt with them a few years ago and gave up when they kept sending the wrong size connectors on a simple car, seems they're good now which is good!

[Blugg]

No noise difference :surprised

Bits hidden away behind the bumper :surprised

:no + Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want it to be see when i lift the bonnet and to howl like a banshee, ok maybe not too boy racer loud. But it would be nice if it was visible for shows as lets face it, performance wise it's not going to do a lot on my Blugg :'(

[MrsEvvo]

Blugg it will be seen when u lift the bonnet the piper is one of the nicest looking kits all black carbon fibre and you can choose the colour of the intake cone - look at the picture of mine on my bug post in shows us your bugs etc

If its a proper cold air feed kit you have to take the pipes down into the front of the bumper so they are where the fog lights are otherwise you're just gonna hoover up warm air and rubbish which wont make a blind bit of difference

As for the sound you do know its on as do others when u rev your engine but you wont get a howl cos the revs are too low in the bugs

[John@DNA]

I'll have to have a butchers at yours Saturday, although air intakes situated low are a bit of a no, no in case you hit standing water, hydraulic lock is an expensive one to fix!

23rd April is a Monday, pick another day.
I'll get a price on the filter ASAP

[Blugg]

Getting the rims on saturday so Friday will be ok for me *:)

But will need a price for the induction kit and the fitting before then. I read your looking for one and thanks. If it's too much i'll just go the chip route. :) But i'm sure it will be ok with your pricing structure.

That looks Awesome to me, any idea of cost on that one John ?

Including fitting please 8-)

Also do you know if that blue pipe is a standard thing as i would prefer a gold one. Although if the worst came to the worst i could always wrap it in Gold Leaf or something ;)

[Nico]

i had this on my 1.6! don't expect massive gains on power, if any! it sounds very nice though!

Is this including snorkel/snowbox removal as well? And are we going to add a Cold air feed???

[Nico]

the standard cold air feed from VW will probably do for that kit, John may think differently but i think that sort of filter doesnt need oodles of cold air like a viper does, just enough to keep fresh air flow.

[John@DNA]

I need to have a closer look at the air feed to pass judgement, I do believe however that it can only be beneficial if the feed to it does actually offer a cold feed, preferably with positive pressure, so we need to look properly at this.

[Nico]

i took all mine out john when fitting viper, its not tooooo bad, but far from great eother if you see what i mean! ;D It is a little restrictive, and has a few harsh kinks in it as it comes up through the wheel arch then behind the headlight. it would b a lot better if some louvres were cut into the plastics wheel arch lining to allow more air to sweep into air inlet tube. Have a look and see what you reckon John!

You gotta be careful with air feeds, direct from the wheel liner can get awkward if you drive through heavy standing water etc, will find a solution though I'm sure, in fact have an idea! Need a beetle to look at quick sometime though first, where's Amy when you need her! :P
