Induction Kit for Audi A3

TurboAnt · 12-19-2003, 09:59 AM

Could somebody give me advise as to whether a induction kit will increase BHP and how much by?

Which is the best kit for 1.8 Turbo?

Well dude, I think you'll find that an induction kit won't really release too many hp (5-10 at the most IIRC) But what it WILL do is improve the sound of your engine, and maybe improve throttle response a bit. One thing to be aware of (and I'd recommend searching various forums for this) but oiled filters have been known to cause some folks problems with their MAF sensors. My personal belief on this is that it's mainly an issue with induction kits, whereas replacement filters such as the K&N drop in don't seem as problematic. There are a few guys I know at Tyresmoke.net and Audi-Sport.net that have the Quickshift Taipan induction kit which I've seen. It LOOKS sweet, and uses a stainless steel filter element.

Anyway, I hope I at least gave you some things to think about

Thanks for the reply! How much do you reckon they cost in the UK?

Can't quite remember, gimme a minute to look for pics/prices. A dude at Audi-Sport had arranged a Group buy. IIRC the price he gave me, including shipping from the UK to Germany was something like £ 205.

OK, the link is the GB Thread, and I found a pic of one installed, but it's kinda big, sorry.[list][*]http://www.audi-sport.net/ubbthreads...t.php?Cat=1,10,

Just a different angle.
And Thanks to JayBeeS3 for the pic

That combine with the strut brace - how cool!

Just wanted to reiterate that this is JayBeeS3's S3. I "Kinda" forgot to check with him before posting the pics, but I figure he'll forgive me

Khufu · 12-22-2003, 06:14 AM

LOL, I sure he will.
