Green panel filter on leon fr tdi

[chillcupra]

I have done a search and not really found much. I am getting a short shifter fitted on satuday at jbs and also intend to get a green panel filter fitted. So what are the benifts on this or do I not really need it. My car is also revod!

I'd assume better air flow into your engine !!

Im thinking to get either K&N panel filter or installing open cone from BMC if the one i have fits to my Cupra 1.8-20VT?
What do you think?
I know that open cone sucks the hot air under the hood...and stock airbox is "CAI" coz it has tube that sucks air outside of the hood.

the K&N is very oily and not MAF friendly BTW...

but phil, the green panel should make the car a "bit" more responsive,

 

[redcupratdi]

phil, lucky you have this furom hey... noise will be increased a little, responsiveness a little, power 0-1bhp

So, K%N kills MAF...?
I didnt have any problems on my V40 T4 MAF...i did clean my MAF now and then though.

GreenFilter is better for VAG cars or which one do you think its the best?
Apexi dry ones?

That's the thing with a remap, you'll never get the same performance increase from anything other than a new engine.

Ye cheers redcupratdi I spend most of my time at work surfing the net so this site is good for boredom, I like cars but dont have a clue about the mechanics but getting better

what im going to got with a panel filter, heard alot of good things

 

[chillcupra]

ye what are the main benifits for a diesel?

 

[paul26982]

going to get my remap after the filter etc is on (any preformance mods)

 

[chillcupra]

Does the green pannel filter improve noise on the tdi ie...turbo?

Thanks

 

[paul26982]

induction noise abit

 

[AndyVTR]

Why did you buy a DIEsel Phil?

 

[Sisson]

no extra induction noise when i fitted my panel filter,

apparently you can drill the air box on the right hand side and it will give you a bit of noise!

 

[chillcupra]

because i am a tight git

 

[AndyVTR]

I bet you spend more on mods trying to make yours into a 1.8T than you save on fuel!

ive had a k+n panel filter on mine for about 4 months now with no problems, sounds a bit better
