sounds sweet mate, how do you find it starting in the cold mornings? I hear they're not too great?

 

[Adey.]

i never have a problem?

 

[D4N13L]

Sounds amazing, very informative read.

Wish i was rich

 

[kevin_172]

when starting in the morning let it turn over twice and a tad of throttle... job done

You want to get a decent filter on there and get rid of the socks as they lose power. Should have mapped without the socks on to be honest then fitted an ITG filter.

[kevin_172]

was mapped without the socks by andy from GDI

 

[Nick_C]

They may be reducing power quite a bit - i would suggest getting the ITG or pipercross bar filter on there, bet it feels better with that

can't be done with aircon

that "may" be getting ripped out

 

[Adey.]

ditch it, and get a shorter rad and fan, free's up loadsa room for a decent filter

 

[kevin_172]

thing is it is also my daily drive and my dad goes to work with me in it its nice in the summer lol!

 

[Adey.]

mine is also, got windows for keeping cool

Thats a decent figure and all but its a messy install. Maybe I'm being picky but the grill cut out is shocking, white cable ties over black pipes etc.

exactly what i thought! my DIY fit looks better than that

^^^ +1

 

[Andy GDI]

filter socks loose about 3bhp, and a little sharpness... but far better than a stone down the intake...

I believe Kevins grill mods are a work in progress.

 

[kevin_172]

I used a hack saw and got annoyed so I snapped it off lol

 

[kevin_172]

Also the cable ties got swaped and are now black. It was a temp fix

heaven forbid something being a work in progress!!

Depends whos fitted and set them up. GDI did mine and its fine. Sometimes a little bit of throttle but only cos it has no idle control. Otherwise its spot on

 

[Icarus]

You are always going to struggle with initial start with ITB's or any inlet/throttle design which does not feature a method of delivering additional airmass.

Bit of throttle should see it fire up fine though.
