this one? http://www.knfilters.com/news/news.aspx?ID=2549
Sounds ok, not familiar with them on your diesel engine but been happy in the past. Not sure how restrictive the oem airbox is on the TDi? I imagine it can't do any harm!

Are these even available for the FR? I could only ever find induction kits for the 2.0tdi sport engines. Yet to see a member with one, everyone runs standard (myself included) or has a replacement panel filter such as pipercross/K&N/green...
Have you any links to the induction kit that shows its available for the FR tdi?

It will, pretty sure as long as it's a 2.0tdi engine then the model of the car ie stylance, reference, fr etc is irrelevant. The intake systems are the same.
Does this look like your engine bay>>> http://www.knfilters.com/instructions/A2054-813_inst.pdf
Yes should fit FR as it states all 2l diesel modals

K&N don't do a 57i kit for the Cupra, think it'll be a Typhoon kit, probs looking around the £200 mark
Figure 9/10 shows a cut out in the bottom of the new air box, the tube is then fed down to the under tray (fig 13)
Only had a quick look at it but yeh your right
£40 for Panel Filter or £200 for induction
Unless it can be proven that this Kit will be better than a Panel filter set up then il just stick to the cheaper option

I'm with you on that one, id be wanting results and figures before going down that route... Still haven't even managed to get myself a replacement panel element!
To be honest I'm not sure lol, probably is the same, just never seen one listed for an FR it was always the 2.0tdi 140 or the 1.9 engines so I assumed there was something different about the FR...
its one of them questions does it really add £200 worth of improvements?
people often ask me does my DPF Delete feel like £900 worth of improvement to which i reply yes
I really carnt see this Induction kit doing anything that a panel filter carnt
but.... if it really does do alot better then i might then get one

from past experience K&N's typhoon kits usually are open cone filter ends with long alloy tubing, they don't look very OEM in most cases, the 57i kit is usually a basic cone filter fixed to a mounting plate to fit oem air inlet. The 57s are the new ones with the cone filter in an enclosed air box.
