PD160 intake mod

[Robm-FR]

worth doing?

I've got a standard PD130

Hopefully booked in next month for a Stage 1 remap and panel filter at P-Torque

I Would say so. Having said that. I still haven't changed mine, they seem to cost quite a bit!

definately! the mas air flow logs show a huge increase when done, and also seal off the surrounds when you put it back in as alot of air can escape from the walls of the intake part.

Cool thanks

[uzi_cupra]

What do you mean, not heard this before?

lol i knew somebody would ask, basically...the intake is screwed on and you cn see where it is screwed on right? around the air intake from the front of the car has gaps around the rest of the piece (going into the airbox) you should tape those up so that it is completely sealed and no air escapes.
try it, open your bonnet and put your hand around the intake part (infront of the battery to the left) and you will feel air escaping.
make sense?

the part in the red box...seal around it

just a quick pic i got off the net to show u what i mean

Why would that be a problem ?
That air escapes there only at high speed and because it can't go anywhere else (the rest of the intake has the air flow that it can handle - so the extra air needs to go somewhere )...

I have been told that it is quite pointless if the car is not re-mapped. But it does make a slight difference if it is mapped after fitting.

This is a very popular mod and I think SEAT have cottoned on to this fact, so you will be shocked at the price. I have read it is £80 for a bit of plastic tubing and a wider trumpet.
