Fitted my Recirculating Dump valve (for performance benefits)
a sprayed engine cover to make the bay look tidy
and I also fitted an open cone until I get something decent..
Never in all my 2 years of car driving have I felt an induction kit make a car feel quite a bit more responsive until now, the dv works better too...
and one of the seats
Ordered a FMIC too

How come you didn't get a BMC or something along those lines Jas?

And on a different note Love the car
Cupras are cool

Also do you get a good sound from the dv ?

nice job dude...was ur airbox like mine in the passat..had stupid amounts if wires etc? i have an open cone filter but dont want to use it
1. fears my MAF may cock up
2. I havent a clue where to stick all the shite the airbox holds!
What DV u go for the forge dv007p? I went for a turbosmart dual port...so has a slight atmos too, but has the full recirc, so no error codes etc

Also, wait til you fit a decent induction kit, then you'll notice a marked improvement.

Yeah same with mine, the induction kit made mine louder. It's a nice noise IMO, nothing OTT.

I have the new Forge split R valve on mine, its pretty loud but retains the recirc action
I think i'm gonna go for the standard air box mod tho, much cheaper and better (in most cases) than an open filter

the carbonio induction kits are supposed to be awesome, the ones which relocate the filter behind the bumper..
