Performance Air Filter For My Car

[@LAW-fv6ys]

Bruh great vid. I think key info is anything up to 300bhp you can get away with OEM box and maybe a panel filter is good idea. Over 300bhp you need a oversized filter. And run a cold air feed duct from the bumper up to the filter additional to the OEM one. I've had stage 1 and 2 1.8t 225 bam engines and found the airbox and panel filter is better for less heat soak losses. I removed the ramair filters on both and went back to stock box and k&n filter panel. Much better response on the throttle and in the summer less power loss.

The only reason I have a K&N filter is to avoid throwing a filter each year into a landfill. 17 years ago I got it for my 2001 TT Roadster.

It came with a modified air intake kit but I don't see a heat shield on there how vital is this part ?? Would you advice I put one on ?

[@TheParrottBros]

Hey, welcome to the channel haha. A shield is not needed it’s more to neaten up the bay & to stop the filter / turbo intake pipe flopping around. If there is movement it can either work loose or wear / chafe over time so worth either making a bracket or getting a shield 👍🏻

[@ShootingOutdoorsChannel]

Just Tip'd and Ram Air'd my 180Q tonight... Jeez it's wooshy...till about 3-4k and it quietens down. My thinking is the N75 is keeping the DV open low rpm and closing it off mid to high rpm... Question is when you mapped your car after the Tip and cone kit... did it quieten down? I.e. Can the noise be tuned out.

[@TheParrottBros]

Yeah that’s probably the biggest difference when fitting one, the noise 😂 it’s very boy racers isn’t it. Unfortunately the only real way to get rid of it would be to fit a closed filter or air box again.

Hi Dominic, another grat video. Let my explain my experience with air filters. I did a research on the web and finally decided to order Ramair XL (foam) for my TT 225. I wanted to see how much could increase power. I did several logs for that and the results were not as I expected. The maf only was reading only 2g/s -3g/s more than with stock filter. This is ridiculous!!! So I do not understand where is the gain... I did not noticed any diference of the car , ¿do I need to remap to get any benefit for that change? Yes, bigger suction sound but it is not for me. I am getting old with 43 years 🤣 No the performance gain was ridiculous so I decided to remove and put oem filter again. Congrats for your video again. Dominic, I see all your videos and most of them have been really helpfull. Hope you will make more content. I would like to contribute for that and buy you merchandising if possible. Let me know please. Regards!

[@TheParrottBros]

Hey mate, in the stock case you are probably right the car can already get most of the air flow it needs, so unless you increase the tip size, and or map it the car will not demand more air. Although you have made the path less resistant and therefore less effort required to obtain air which is always good. Thanks appreciate the support, not really looked too much into merch, getting my stickers made and might do a few bits next year when the world hopefully opens up a bit and allows me to go visit company’s and discuss and Film openly As always mate thanks for support

Nikolas Zikakis so, You have a 70mm atm, you can change but will need your maf element as different to the 225, that or get one mapped in. Or you can get a 80-70mm silicone reducer would be a lot easier

@@TheParrottBros Inner MAF sensor code is the exact same; at least on early models, the APX engine. It's worth checking this because it's also almost half the price because of stock and number of models it was used in. I simply used the old housing and used the new sensor whilst replacing an intermittently faulty one. To be exact, 06A906461D and 06A906461E has the same f 00C 2G2 040 in them. :D Having said that, The readings will be different in different housings so a reducer is still the best option as you said.

DjMrowa could quite possibly have a broken or dodgy wire as when your disturbing it by changing parts it sorts it for a little while. The cable can be broken inside but the insulation is ok. I had this exact issue with mine when I got it apart from it was permanently in limp mode haha. Unplug the n75 and with a multi meter measure from ground to both pins one at a time. You should have 12v at one and 3-5v at the other. ( when the cars running) Wiggle the cables around whilst you are testing it and see if you can see any issues on the meter. Quite a common issue. May not be that but a good starting point. Also has it logged any codes ?

Stuart Hall where are you seeing these videos?! I’ve watched plenty of videos showing power gains, read research on said subjects, been at a tuners where we have changed a filter between runs and proven its use when altering the mapping on a car. Yes manufactures spend millions on research to hone in the air box and cold air feed but that is based on stock power, stock pipework and such. Gains have been proven time and time again by tuners all over the world. You can get similar gains from cheaper filters over some of the more expensive stuff but you may want it for aesthetic‘s as well as performance.
