Is it good? Is it too expensive? Does it increase horsepower? Does it provide more fuel efficiency? All the answers are in the video. Thanks for watching

    Noise is more than likely the diverter valve. Was revised because the rubber would tear and leak/whistle. You just don't notice it until you put the intake on it because it is quiet with stock intake.

    Thanks for the shouts. Honestly if I was starting over again I’d skip the intake. I’d just go tune and down pipe.

    the whine you mentioned is from the stock divertor valve; it's plastic and the intake brings in more air. If you want the sound to go away, upgrade your divertor valve

    Bought my Golf with one installed and living in central GA, I laugh very loud at "cold air intake" since it rarely gets cold here 🤣🤣🤣

      That’s true. It’s just an air intake 🤣. I’m in Texas and it’s definitely not cold air here. 🤣🤣. If You subscribed welcome aboard. If not hopefully I can earn it. 😊👍🏼

    nice man. 👍 got the intake. Cant wait to hear how it sounds. Especially since I also have the cts outlet pipe and turbo muffler delete. i hope I get all the sound you experienced and so spool up whistles too. that smaller turbo wines up so fast. Maybe that why it whistle so much when doing spirited driving throttle pulls.

    • @grind-it-out
      @grind-it-out  4 місяці тому +1

      Yes yes yes. It will make you happy. How did u like the downpipe? I mean the gains from it. Did u notice much in performance?

      @@grind-it-out ohh it’s great! I install the intake, it opened up so much noise. can hear the turbo clear now. After I drove it around a bit, I then installed the turbo muffler delete with the outlet charge pipe and let me tell you, that made a difference in performance. not a lot but I can tell the air flow is much less restricted resulting in quicker spool up and it stays in boost. the turbo feel much more free now. it’s easier to get up to speed driving normal. and with even a little throttle the car will spool up into boost happily now. anyone doing these mod from just stock form, watch the boost gauge and you’ll see what I’m talking about. car is much more a blast to drive now ! Again, nice video you did. 👍

    Does this come with the piping too or just the front end? I have a 2016 Tiguan and am interested in adding a little personality to it. Great video!
