Induction Kits

[Lemon_Bug]

Hey anyone suggest a good induction kit for 2.0 motor?

Had K+N before on other cars and not had any problems with them, heard that new bugs MAF sensors dont like them? Is this true?

Something to do with the oil on them? arnt all filters oiled anyway even stock ones?

someone suggested GREEN or PIPERCROSS filters.

Comments much appreciated!

hey lemon bugs

i had a K+N on my 2.0l for a while but took it off, it seemed like there was lag in between gearchanges. Something to do hot air getting sucked in apparently. if i where to put another 1 on if wud try and get a stanless steel filter with a heatshield. as a few people have reccomended them.
do you want one for power or for the sound, because i didnt think it made a lot of difference in power but i have still got a standard sorst on.

Don't get an oiled one unless you like buying MAFs :)

[bug78]

pre oiled k&n is there to catch the dust in the air otherwise you clogg up your engine with sh*t i had one on my last car for years just used the recharger kit every year was fine just ad a k&n breather fillter as well then no warm air will flow in


anyone seen a cheap viper ive got £250 for an induction (new)

[MrsEvvo]

straight panel filter go K&N or Jetex

Induction kit Pipercross Viper cold air feed is the way to go - I have one and yes they cos £250 but they are the dogs danglies 8-)

Hey People, just a quick question if theres a problem with the oil on these filters then how come the closed filters work?

Just wondered? is it a myth that oil kills the MAF? I read somewhere that the beetle MAF is glass cased? ;D

[Shamrockez]

Oil and VAG MAFs don't mix :(

It's not a myth.

[Lemon_Bug]

How come people are using pipercross filters that are the same as k+n filters? :)

[Shamrockez]

No idea ;D Some last much longer than others. I guess some are better at keeping the MAF alive than others too.

[Lemon_Bug]

Bugger, Want to get one to make my bug sound angry, but dont know what to get? :D

[Shamrockez]

Can't help you with that - I know nothing about them... except that oil kills mafs lol.

filters are different to induction kits.....

if you just put a filter in the only thing you will notice is engine will breathe easier and minimal gain in power there will be no difference in sound

induction kit on new beetle has to be an enclosed unit preferably cold air forced induction - if you use an open filter you are gonna have a ****e system which wont work due to heat soak. If you want a roar then Pipercross induction kit that I run (see below) is THE best out there for the market.

Running anything other than an enclosed kit is madness the space under the bonnet in the bugs is just too small. If you want to drop a replacment panel filter in for starters get a Jetext one.

cool the way i drive im gonna need space shuttle tiles for rentry ;D


ps

has anyone used dry ice for trackdays or owt on a viper ....

[Lemon_Bug]

Hey i'm still confused about all this???

If the oil on an induction kit kills the maf, then how come you can run a closed filter kit with the same filter?

Neuspeed filter kits come with a heat shield but are supplied with a K+N "style" filter.

HELP!!! :-?

Its not induction kits that have oil that kill the MAF its "supposedly" drop in panel filters. Saying that I had a drop in K&N before I had the viper and had no trouble what so ever. As long as you look after it as per the instructions you should be fine.

[Lemon_Bug]

Thanks for that.

So if i get an induction kit then i should be ok? But you suggest one with a heatshield or one thats enclosed? ;D

[bug78]

i have the drop in k&n in mine now i have no proplems in fact in 3rd at 3000rpm the car picks up quicker too



still getting a viper though :)

[MrsEvvo]

yep induction kit you should be fine and dandy :) get an enclosed forced cold air i.e. pipercross or jetex
