VW MK5 GTI FSI Intake Removal and Installation DIY

In this video, we walk through the installation of our in-house engineered MK5 GTI Luft-Technik intake system. We show the proper removal of the stock intake and demonstrate helpful tips for installing our aftermarket intake.
The benefits of installing an aftermarket intake include increased airflow, allowing the car to breath easier. This results in increased power from your turbocharged engine. Intakes also open up the sound of your engine and make your turbo more audible. Our intake is dyno tested with proven power gains. Dyno charts and additional product specifications are available on our website.

So what does it actually add, or is this one of those things which are completely plasebo until you start upgrading other components where more air would start making difference and getting it tuned? As in, will this do anything really on a car if everything else is stock?

can you do a BOV or a diverter valve installation for this Fsi GTI on the video.

Do you have any mapping issues after changing the intake?

[@noahwagner0]

Nope, the mass airflow sensor can accommodate for any intake as long as you are utilizing the stock maf

[@MarkTrist]

Can you show how to get in behind the engine to remove other air flow pipes (unless you already have) please? I have an air leak somewhere and I'm hoping it's an easy fix to find the source of the leak. Thanks.

[@jolmeaki]

A carbon fiber intake tube would have been real nice.

[@johnnyberglund841]

Hi , are you sure this air intake givers more power to engine? Standard intake in front in more effective intake, beside battery intake less air in my opinion! Johnny D Bergh

[@deonhrupnarain]

nice vid3eo , it would of been even better if you had started the engine to see if it throws the ECu light and we all would of liked to hear the sound from the new intake....

Hi ECS Tunning Great Video Do a video Intake Removal and Installation Volkswagen polo 2018

[@ethanheitz4489]

I'm getting a lot of controversy over whether or not cold air intakes do all that much. It would add eye candy to the engine bay, as well as free up space with the removal of the engine cover. However, some other car guys are telling me that a cold air intake is a waste of money, and that I would be better off saving my money for an APR chip. So can someone give me an honest answer: if I have a stock MKV GTI, will a cold air intake help in the long run? I notice most of the vendors who sell the intakes say that they help, claiming increases in power of up to 15-20 hp. But most people think they only add 3 hp at MOST. I want to know for real whether it's worth the investment, before I drop $250 on a fancy intake. Thanks.

[@ecstuning]

A tune is your best "bang for the buck" and is a great first step towards more power. Intakes begin adding significant power once you are tuned. This particular intake made solid gains when coupled with a stage 2 tune. We have dyno charts for both stock and tuned vehicles on the product page here: goo.gl/N1n2ay Also, the intake will help you hear your engine and turbo much better. The turbo sounds make driving the car so much more enjoyable.

[@larsendoares1496]

FSI turbo atmospheric diverted valve spacer install please

[@dandurst2075]

Quick question, no problems with fresh air getting into the air filter? Seems a little boxed in. I know it's isolated from the engine (and that's really well done). Just don't see where it's getting a lot of fresh air.

[@Justin-hh9ro]

there is an intake slot in the grill which goes under the rim of the bay, trust me, it is getting a constant influx of cool air. basiaclly, where he unplugged the original air box is the vent

[@RodicaBic]

[@znismo1]

Do you guys happen to have an Intake install video for an MK5 GTI with a TSI Engine?? Seems like most MK5 GTI servicing vids are for the older MK5 GTIs with the FSI engine :(.

[@Stichting-AAP]

Isn't it a mk6 gti then? Atleat that one has the tfsi engine i believe

[@znismo1]

TurboDifferent Nope. The latest models of the MK5 GTI, 2008.5 and up, came with the TSI engine. All previous MK5 GTIs' before that are the ones with the FSI engine... It sucks that most MK5 GTI DIY vids are only made for the FSI models 😒.

[@JoelinoPT]

Are you sure? I have a Golf GTI mk5 from 2008.10 and is TFSI. In fact I NEVER saw a mk5 TSI. Never. They may be rare. A TFSI and TSI engines have a lot of differences, but the big one is very clear: the engine have timing belt? If yes is a TFSI, if not (timing chain) it's a TSI. But it's possible that they have introduced the 2.0 TSI engine sooner and if that is the case search for DIY for a mk6 GTI an not MK5 GTI. *TFSI and FSI in this context are the same, they are just marketing name to differentiate FSI engines with or without Turbo. Since all GTI's have Turbo they are called Turbo FSI or TFSI (specially by Audi).

I would like to see insulation of blow off valve for mk5 gti

[@cera3563]

2 of their videos sort of explain it. They have one that goes through how to replace the diverter valve on a mk5 fahrenheit which I can attest is the exact same on a regular GTI since I have one and have replaced my diverter valve once.. Then they have one going through how to do the forge atmospheric bov and their full bov assembly on a mk6 with the relocation kit which I can also attest is essentially the same on a mk5 gti with the exception being that you have to be under the car instead of working on it from the engine bay. To make it work you kinda just have to apply concepts from one video to the other. Plus if you order the forge stuff it comes with detailed instructions. Here is the diverter valve one kzbin.info/www/bejne/mp6mlHSmat6ehsk Here is the other video that has diverter valve replacement, atmospheric BOV and forge bov: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmipaIKGitmsoLc
