Hi everyone I wanted to see if any of you have any ideas of bettering the pop-charger setup. The intake allready kicks all other intakes a#@, but mabe if we added an aluminum tube, or a better heat guard.

I know people have done things like this I just want to know what works the best..

 

just add a long tube in place of the stock one. dont waste your time/money on heat shields they do nothing really to add to the performance or intake temps of the cai.

 

where do you get the long tube at?

 

In my opinion, a metal tube is a bad idea. While it looks good and would be fine for making dyno numbers, it will get heat soaked if you're running hard. I know I do some mountain runs out here and staying in the powerband for 15 minutes will make the whole engine bay nice and toasty. I've heard the whole 10 degrees = 1% hp, and whether that's the right number or not, I know a metal pipe will be hotter than plastic.

Now, for looks, chrome is so nice, or maybe someone could make a CF tube (don't know if that's possible though). Of course, you could ice a metal pipe on a dyno or the track too...

 

ya carbon fiber would be sweet...does anyone else have any input?

 

Home Depot = Pipe heaven.

Metal Pipe aluminum pipe PVC pipe insulation pipe vent pipe any type of pipe.


except CF of course

good luck with the fabrication. Let US know how is goes.

well... seems more logical then cutting a hole in your bumper like some people have done

 

Get the Injen metal tubing, then use heat rap tape around the tube.

 

I used to have this Carbonio CF Intake on my old GTI. It was cool looking. I didn't really care bout the HP gain, just the sweet look of a CF CAI. I amazed the ricers.

Where Can I get that INJEN tube?
