I thinking of upgradin' the air intake on my Golf 4 Pd150 TDI.I've already smoothed the interior of my airbox and now I want to connect it to the front of the bumper by usinf this FK Air intake Kit:

but I need to know how wide is the hole in the intake,and how long and wide is the tube that comes with kit (I've already asked the dealers but they don't know)..Does anyone here knows??

Please help,'cause I need this info to order the intake...

Thanks...

PS: How wide should the tube connecting the intake and the airbox be?

The tube you want to run into the air box should be about 80mm, nice tight fit you will need about a meter of tubing.

The 150pd already has piping from the front valance to the airbox, so you are probably wasting your time.

Really! that's news to me?

Yeah the 150PD takes the air feed in from just left of the N/S headlamp through the meshed section in the grill assembley then routes it round the headlamp up the wing into the air-box.

Do like that air intake though.

hmm, wonder what this would be on my 110tdi? []

 

[g-master]

[:O] Got any picture's of that! so can i change mine to be like this?

 

[bigalvw]

must be a pd thing as my 130 is like that.

My anni had this and my R. From the airbox runs a narrow plastic pipe alongside the battery and into the headlight then onto the mesh intake inboard of the passenger headlight...

Can someone please post a pic of this, as this is bugging me can't quite work it out!

The OEM tubes go from the left side headlamp,around the battery and the to the airbox...What I want is to re-route the tube from tge air intake directly to the airbox...

Does anyone know about bonrath?

There may be an air intake already but it's quite small, fitting a bigger pipe may be a little better.

True, and this is why I bought a Carbonio (as yet unfitted). However, Superchips told me the CAI would probably make more of a noise difference than a performance one but, hey! Apparently, the diesel engine does not crave air in the same way as a petrol engine.

I think Rich R1GTI did this mod or something similar and used sections of Marley PVC mini-drainpipe.

I've got an 80mm pipe waiting to be fitted, just haven't got my act together to do it yet.

Hi,

Do you have any pictures of where the air intake from the valance runs to.I have recently bought a 150 and the flexible hose from the valance just ends at the front of the gearbox.I assumed that it ran to the air filter box but I lost my engine dirt tray in the bad weather and it ripped the fixings on the side plastic bits.Thats when I noticed the duct goes throught the passenger side plastic and seems to just end at the front of the gear box.Have I got some bits missing?

there was a comparison done a few years ago , and the smoothed airbox out performed the cabronio. i did the mod and used a flexiable 3 " hose.

what do you mean when you say a smoothed airbox. any chance of a before and after pic please

 

[mike_r]

no pics on this pc, but if you remove the lid of your airbox, you will notice that there are fins inside which disturb airflow, you dremel theese off so the inside is smooth, usualy followed by making the intake to the front larger.

hhmmm, wonder if there is a diy guide
