Plug Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 (edited) Well i kno it get's asked all the time and ive done quite a bit of searching though the forum to find out some info. Ive read that bmc is the best but then doesnt sound as good as other's, and then other people agree the opposite ect style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" /> it's all a little confusing, as everyone has there own opioion.All i want to kno is, for a lupo sport what overall is the best induction kit to get, taking into consideration i only want one for sound purposes, not fussed about performance (as long as i dont loose power).Thanx in advance people.Dave.

vworks41 Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 (edited) I run a BMC panel filter in my GTi which i've been pleased with, but for sound I would go for a pipercross. Edited May 27, 2007 by vworks41 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The filter doesnt struggle to get cold air tho being in that positon does it, and can you buy different hosing to locate the filter closer to the frount of the bay?Also how much did you pay, and was it easy to stick on?Nice one.Dave, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 (edited) only once i noticed it drop power was when i was sat in a traffic jam for an hour n the engine heat just went straight to the filter you would get this with any filter sat in 90 degress heat to be honest and as i said though that was the only time i noticed it loosing power to be honest on both the cars ive had mine on i can feel a difference it feels more willing to pull and deffinitely feels faster. the noise is awesome as well so well worth the 70 quid i paid for it brand new! local shop round here sourced it for me at 70 notes so was well pleased.havent seen any relocation kits but to be honest if you have a decent air feed it doesnt really matter, mine was run to just besides the fog light at the front of the grill on the lupo, and the air feed now sits next to the head lights on my arosa where the cutout is.one problem is that theres no air feed supplied but the flexy hosing ive got cost me 3 quid so sure that could be sorted easy as pie! as i said worth the 70 quid i paid for it for the noise alone!makes a kinda of whistling noise as well just after 5.5k up till the redline, which is cool! think it does this becuase of the metal mesh holding the filter element together!

SC02 FFF Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 please wud sum1 tell me about these Alltech Stage 2 or 3's people keep tal-king about where are they froim ? wht they look like ?? ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 there induction kits with a custom made relocation pipe stage two is two piece i think stage one is one piece pipework. they are however quite expensive but for the looks really worth it. sound is supposed to be quite good but havent heard anything different about performance compared to any other induction kit. worth it for the asthetic qualitys tho!

heartagram Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Would it be worth replacing the standard filter with an aftermarket panel filter? Still on about 100bhp sport here...Never been a fan of the way induction kits sound or look. Also is there anyway to modify the standard airbox to increase airflow?

scotty Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 (edited) you could try smothing it to increase the airflow but there isnt much really you can do to the lupo box as its pretty smooth as standard. cant beat an induction roar though i know its peoples opinions and some people may see it as chav but it does sound bloody awesome!

Plug Posted May 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 (edited) Scotty thanx for all the info geezer. Youve sorted that one clean.Look's like im going to get a piperX style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="-_-" border="0" alt="sleep.gif" />@heartagram, ive got a k&n panel filter in my airbox atm, imo gives the engine a nice smooth note, not loud by a long shot. If its what youve looking for i'd invest. Edited May 29, 2007 by ricoshay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 pm dubweiser, the sport has got the same diameter throttle body housing as the gti so should be an exact fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
