Decat + Filter = Less Power (16v)

[SaxoKiller]

I have fitted a K and N Induction Kit and a Ktec Silenced decat to my 16v.

Now its slower than ever, whats happened to the nail.

Take off your I/K and put your airbox back on cus its probs sucking in hot air! As for the decat - that should be fine!

I thought as much mate, was a lot quicker with the original airbox on....

induction kits sound the nuts but dont help for power. standard airbox with replacement panel is best bet, unless u got a sealed induction kit.

Nice. Cost me a bomb - anyone wanna buy?



I guess not actually.

TBH - ive just had a decat & ITG replcement filter fitted (in std airbox) monday and if i was being truthful id say i wasnt taken back by the power increase. I do however have a small hole in my mid section of my exhaust which i can only think appeared when fitting my decat. (a very messy job involving big feck off grinders etc..)

Ill let you know when the hole is patched up - but even if it doesnt give me a power increase its worth it for popping / backfire @ 4,000k. (which is prob what cuase the hole in my mid section)

Allready thinking that both items were a waste of wonga.

Im gonna take the K and N off and see what happens......

Ill sell u an ITG for £22 mate

Will you be able to get them anytime though kid?

Well i put a K&N on mine, plus a valer bonent, and it made it quicker, and now ive put my de-cat on it goes alot faster through mid rev range, you shoudl have got a de-cat from me mate, half the price of the k-tec ones
