Hi Guys,

would love an induction kit but are over 200 even on eBay however seen a thread on here last time about buying the pipes separately and making your own for a lot less.

i trawled through eBay and found loads of the silicone pipes, bends etc in diff colours. but can any one gimme a list of which sizes i need to make one including any accessories and essentials like connectors,seals etc. A diagram would be great too if any one could do one.

cheers

Great will get onto that this weekend.

so to check from the 90 deg bend from throttle body is that simply a long tube/pipe made up of steel tubes and bends to go around engine bay all the way to the air filter cone.

also the carbon fiber lookin part - air intake looks similar to the one on the car already but modified is that necessary or just bonus as have seen a few pics on google where the pipe simply goes from throttle body to that front corner.

sorry for all the questions not all that clued up on mechanics but how does the bit near the throttle body work as in the smaller pipe coming off the main pipe at start - sorry dunno what that is looks like some kinda sensor or somethin?

but thanks alot for the info it looks like i am gonna save a fortune (so long as i get this right )

that is carbon mate its a tdi air scoop hard to get a hold of,as for the wee tube bit with the sensor all you need to do is drill a hole in the bend and push it in(its tha air temp sensor).
