Nice work - what's that carbon fibre cylinder thing you've got there?

that be a BMC carbon air box. im obcessed with them at the mo and putting them on all tuning jobs i do they are just so much cooler then standard cone filters
taking orders soon....

panel filter, keep the air box;
if you change to cone you have to make heat isolation etc, lots of work and very small gain..

Would be interested in one of those, give me a shout when you are sorted. How much £ are we looking at? Does it sound any louder than the original?

it wern't cheap the samco elbows are quite pricy. sounds good nice woosh when you let off throttle. im sending the pipe off to a mate so he can make solid stainless ones. will let you know about cost.

[AAH!]

Well I've got dibs on Habibs pipes - so I can do some air temp monitoring with VAGCOM on the stock air box, with the cone filter alone, and with the heatshield fitted. Then we'll have some objective info to proceed with...

Was any progress made on these pipes?

I ask because i need a new cone filter and a Dahlbak style filter to MAF pipe as described above would help.

You don't need to use silicone hoses before the turbo as they see no pressure. For the looks perhaps, but otherwise it's a waste of money!

Can't say for sure but the closest match they seem to do for the 3B is:

WB-361

The filter is the same as most VAG 1.6 diesel engines from the eighties and early nineties. ITG have the same part number for two different VAG filters though so it may not be a perfect fit.

ABY filter is the same as a MkII golf Gti etc. ITG part no. WB-481

Ben

oooo a ITG part number!!!! WB-481.. would this be the 80mm fitting and HUGE!!! ?

I already have a small one i want to replace with a big-en (no funny comments plz)

Im deperate for a large ITG filter

Does anyone know the dimensions of a K&N Panel filter for the ABY airbox?

Ski,

I was doing some housework ( don't tell anyone) and I found the box for my ITG cone filter. IIRC It's the same as Dougs. Part number is JC60/80 and it is an ITG Maxogen filter.

Internal dimensions, 295mm x 170mm and 30mm thick.

K&N filter part number 33-2768.

Thats for an ABY and an RS2 airbox.
The 3B is different.
