Re: Cold air?

All sounds good, thanks everyone for the input, im thinking the pflo, just to be safe. Where is a good place to pick up neuspeed parts, anyone good sites?

Re: Cold air?

I ran that Neuspeed Race CAI on my Mk4. What I can say about it -

1. No problems and you will not hydro lock your engine unless you are > 1 foot deep submerged in water, in which case water is also coming into your car.

2. Awesome sound improvements, engine and turbo get very loud and aggressive.

3. Very well built and smooth curves to maximize airflow through the tube, and fits very well and looks good in the engine bay.

4. Probably no performance gains

Re: Cold air?

You can suck all the cold air you want, but no matter how cold that air is, its going to be heated as soon as it touches the hot turbo. Therefore the "cold" aspect of an intake is pretty worthless on a turbocharged car, what most people like about them is it makes it easier to hear the turbo spooling (louder) since the muffling aspects of the stock airbox are gone.

All CAI's are filters on a stick. A $300 intake is essentially the same as a $30 intake on ebay. If you really want a cold air intake, I'd suggest buying a kit off ebay and upgrading the filter to an ITG or K&N.

OR

you can try this method

Re: Cold air?

I bought the race series intake and thought about it for a while and opted for the pflo, my buddy who was on here but sold his car now was using the race series and he said he had no problems with it. I put the pflo in and I like it, I haven't really noticed much difference with it HP wise and sound wise. IMO i would go pflo just to be safe

Re: Cold air?

Learned that lesson the hard way. I was lucky enough not to hydrolock the engine, but my MAF went screwy afterwards. Needed a new one for my Nissan and it cost $500.00. I was stuck in highway traffic doing about 90 kms with a waterfall of rain that poured for 20 mins. Because the CAI filter was located behind the bumper with the inner wheel liner being the only thing seperating the filter from the elements, it got soaked. Needed a $150 tow home and a new filter.

I don't think the CAI is worth it. I would stick with the short ram intake. The CAI may get you one x-tra HP give or take, over the SAI. Again...its not worth it. If you do choose the CAI, make sure you spring for the By-pass valve so that you can't Hydro-lock the engine. Water does not compress in the cylinder and you will bend a valve or worse, if enough gets in.

Re: Cold air?

The only way ur gonna get hydro lock is if you submerge the intake(cone) into water!

Let that be a lesson to every single person that is thinking about purchasing, has purchased, and/or has installed and is worried!

Im just wondering if any one has had any issues with Neuspeed race series cai, its going on a 1.8t. On many sites they have a warning for water, wondering if anyones had this issue. And also is the race series cold air louder then the pflo intake.
Let me know,
Thanks
