well its carbon fibre on the outside but truth be told its fibreglass on the inside! but it looks great. altho i had to drill it to mount the air temperature sensor.

Not got the cold air scoop thing, but wish i did. definately worth having.

Buy one now!

I thought that as well. Had a frank exchange of PM's with Mark @ Tdi.........who offered a refund.

He PM'd me y/day to say only the prototypes are not pure c/f..........

So a new c/f induction kit from TDi is c/fibre

[whitie]

Wouldn't Firbre glass be a bit dodgy on the inside of an intake!?

[petejenkin]

I would have thought it would, after a time the internal finish of the glass fibre would decay and break down and your engine would start eating glass fibres and chunks of resin !! Not good.

Anyway, Ive just ordered a kit from Edge Tuning in Leeds, very helpful. Ive ordered the Trust Airinx B Type for 1G-FE, the whole lot including postage was a mere 145.00 quid. Apparently they are good systems. We shall see.......

If you get a minute or two, pop into the shop and have a look, report back if you like, it would be interesting. I would go but Im in Scunthorpe, about an hour away.

Let us know how you get on with the kit Pete and put some photo's up. I've been after a kit for a while now, might nip over and get myself one as its only 50 mins away from my house

why does no one make a indcution kit that would connect to the first part of the standard indction kit? that way you would get the cold air etc?

[petejenkin]

I dont think an induction kit that fits to the back of the air scoop would be really feasable. Where would you put the cone filter?

The filter needs to be at the front for maximum potential. These airboxes are restrictive cos the cool air get slowed down by the filter in the box before it goes into business. With the free flowing cone at the front, the air is twisted into a turbine effect behind it and hits your plenum cooler and faster than with the box.

[aido]

Pete, I'll be honest and say I don't know a thing about how these things work, but I thought the general consensus was that induction kits worked better with a cold air box?! I'm ordering one in a few days from Mark but are you saying that it should be better without the box?

[petejenkin]

No Mate, sorry to confuse.

I was on about the standard airbox, not the cold airbox......

Is it the Carbon one from Tdi your having?

[aido]

Yes mate, they're coming down in price soon so I might order both at once and chuck them in for a laugh :winky:

Thanks for clearing that up for me, it's all a bit beyond me :doh:
