Should you do this with a financed car?

[@grind-it-out]

It’s not about the financing. It’s about The warranty. I do it to all my cars and have never had an issue with warranty repairs. Check with insurance or warranty first.

[@carsonchambers5617]

Old video I know but any clue if the nice sealed S&B air intake for the TDI will work for our TSI’s? I can’t find an ACTUAL cold air intake (aka has to be sealed) for the life of me.🙃 Someone said it has a barb on the tube and I’d have to figure out if I have the extra air intake line thing. I gotta get one of those nice 3” down pipe, and the upgraded cooler inlet pipe. Some of the forums said those are two really constricting parts for these.

[@grind-it-out]

Good question. I’m actually not sure about the TDI Intake will fit. You can get a high flow filter for the stock intake. It’s like $50. It’s a K&N filter. I wish I had more info. But I love this intake from CTS. And they make a nice downpipe also.

[@joshevans6841]

Why not just get high flow drop in filter it’s 10x better for the engine makes hp the air intake actually loses hp also drops acceleration compared to high flow drop in filter this comes from multiple tuners

[@grind-it-out]

I already had that. I wanted more turbo sound. But yes

[@ggubbg9764]

I just installed this intake in my 2013 vw cc and their is no where to plug in MAF sensor any ideas?

[@grind-it-out]

No ideas here but is it the correct intake for your car? Do u have those 2 holes that have plugs ? CTS would probably know your answer. Thanks for the comment. 😎👍🏼💯

[@obsolete2305]

Does this help with gas mileage or use more? Or neither? I do a lot freeway driving. Also where did you purchase this? I cannot find on eBay or Amazon?

[@grind-it-out]

It only allows to hear turbo noise. It doesn’t really increase HP or gas mileage. Not anything to talk about anyway. But you have to go to CTS turbo online. Or ecs or euro tuning websites. It’s definitely not on Amazon. But tons of VW owners run the CTs turbo intake. I want to thank you for watching and commenting.

[@charlesaponte1]

Thanks for this video and explaining very well/ showing

[@grind-it-out]

Appreciate that very much. Thank you for watching also. 💯👍🏼😎

[@TheAquaPapa]

So what are them 2 holes on the intake he put locktight on?

[@grind-it-out]

The lock tight was to keep those plugs from coming out. The holes are for other accessories. Not sure exactly what accessories but some models may have an extra sensor mas airflow sensor. That’s my guess.

[@MementoMori-cs3se]

Thanks for this video it helped a ton, I just go my intake back I had it powered coated Transparent Copper 😎

[@grind-it-out]

I’ll bet it looks nice! Thanks for watching and hopefully you’ll enjoy the intake. 👍🏼💯

[@ramonduran8076]

Is there a link for the Air intake? Got a 2019 VW Passat Wolfsburg edition and I do want to start working on it

[@grind-it-out]

Look up ECS tuning or Uro Tuning. Those are the major distributors of most all VW and Audi modification parts. Or you can go to CTS turbo directly online. I like Uro tuning

[@Billcozaaa]

Think I might do this when the weather clears up. Does this kind of stuff hurt the resale value?

[@grind-it-out]

Im not sure if hurts resale or not. Unless they like turbo sound or not. I love it

[@blizzygang8864]

Can you send me the link of we’re you purchased this? I have 2016 Passat S TSI That I would love this one!

[@2_way_tony816]

Don’t forget to take the little rubber cap off where that little hose goes into the bottom of the intake it will cause a check engine light (learned the hard way)

[@grind-it-out]

Yes I took it off. That’s where you hook up the small vacuum hose. But I know some people have had that issue and got a check engine light. 🤣. Thanks for watching much appreciated

Does this Fit on a 2019 2.0 Passat?

[@grind-it-out]

They have one specific for each engine size. Go to CTS turbo website and put in your car information. They should have one for you. Thanks for watching. Consider Subscribing 😁

I definitely broke 1 or 2 of the stock connections prior to watching this video 😅

I’m happy that you were able to find the video useful. Hopefully it answered your questions as far as installation is concerned. And it you would be so kind as to give the channel a subscribe 👍🏼. That would be greatly appreciated and will just help the channel. Much thanks and look forward to bringing more content. Have a good one thank you 👍🏼

[@CTM-_-FroZone]

I installed mine about a week ago and I believe it’s leaking somewhere

[@grind-it-out]

Check where it goes into the turbo. Thats the only place people have issues. Thanks for watching Consider subscribing if u like. 👍🏼

[@anthonycordero4827]

how come after instal, i feel a little vibration in my break pedal?? Im pretty worried since this only happened after ininstalled

[@grind-it-out]

Never experienced that. All I can think is that something isn’t tight. If it’s not a new rotor you will probably have vibration. But your caliper could be loose. I’m just thinking of possibility’s. That’s the first time I’ve heard that. Make sure it’s all tight to torque specs. A warped rotor usually causes vibration under normal situations. Let me know.

[@grind-it-out]

Mine are all new and super smooth. Did u do all 4? If not then maybe that’s your issue. Can’t think of any other reason than the ones I named.

[@GG-GODZILLA91]

FROM 2014 CC R LIN2.0 tsi can I swap the engine TO 2014 Passat TSI 1.8

[@grind-it-out]

I don’t know. Good question. You’d have to look it up or go to a VW Passat forum. Thanks for watching 👍🏼

[@elianodie9088]

In what situation would you ever want to do that

[@grind-it-out]

What specifically are you referring too?

[@Gkpina_25]

Wait what happened to the MAF sensor? Where did u hide it?

[@grind-it-out]

There is no MAF sensor. Just a hose in the back side.

[@lukedurow6218]

That ain't turbo noise, that's induction noise

[@grind-it-out]

👍🏼

[@youngshupaik1599]

I can’t get the hose connector off the bottom of the oem turbo pipe. I’ve been twisting but it’s not coming off. Any other tips?

[@grind-it-out]

It is a tight spot. I assume u removed the clamp? If you did then get a long channel locks or pliers and pull on the rubber. That’s all I know. Eventually it should pop off. Good luck. 👍🏼

[@youngshupaik1599]

I finally got it off. I took a small screw driver and helped it off without too much pressure. Don’t want to crack it. Thanks for the video tho. Mine came with no instructions so the video helped a lot!

[@grind-it-out]

Awesome! Yes it’s not easy getting in that tight spot. Happy you were able to get it. Thanks for watching the video. Consider subscribing if you like. 👍🏼😎💯

[@eazyis13]

I got the same air intake. But my car has an air censore. Will it work

[@grind-it-out]

That’s a question for CTs turbo. I’d give them a shout before getting it. But I’m sure there’s a way. 👍🏼😎

[@eazyis13]

@grind-it-out so the one you have is Gen3 the one I need is Gen3B.

[@grind-it-out]

Sounds like it. Not 💯 but probably. You’ll like the sound once you install it. It also looks nice

[@SuperEric210]

PLEASE HELP WHAT IS THE NAME OF THAT SMALL HOSE THAT YOU TOOK OUT OF THE STOCK INTAKE ? MINE IS MISSING IT AND I NEED TO GET A NEW ONE.

[@grind-it-out]

That hose goes to the intake manifold if not mistaken. I don’t know the name of it. Is it throwing an error code? Are u talking about the tiny hose that is towards the front of the engine that attaches to the intake pipe?

[@SuperEric210]

@grind-it-out it has the check engine light. The stock intake didn't have it but now the cts turbo intake has the nozzle but no hose to connect to it I have a mk5 gti

[@SuperEric210]

@@grind-it-out yes I'm talking about the tiny hose that connects to the intake pipe

[@grind-it-out]

Did a plug come with the new intake? If so just plug it. Otherwise you may want to contact CTS and double check. I’m not actually sure.

Thanks Kenny. I’m slowly getting there. And yes it does make it sound kinda cool. I don’t even think I need a blow off valve. Hope all is well

[@justinheliixcarr4628]

How much did the Air Intake cost and whats the maintenance like on it?

[@grind-it-out]

No maintenance really. Just clean the filter which I made a video about. Check it out. The cost was just under $300. But occasionally check the hose clamps and make sure they are still tight. That’s pretty much it. Thanks for watching 😎👍🏼💯
