More road enjoyment is more like it. But, look at it this way! You get a quality intake with thorough testing!

1st 1.8 K&N Typhoon Intake System

Here's all of the pics I took. I want to take a video so you guys can hear what it sounds like. And it is a Typhoon system.

When I open it up it has this really deep growl that sounds especially nasty under load.

I tried getting on the throttle on the way home but there was a bit of traffic. But it did feel like it has a bit more power. I'll update after driving it around some more.

Dyno:
+5.12hp @ 6003rpm
+4.81lbft @ 4531rpm

Blue is stock, red is K&N

Interesting dyno

Awesome! (You need mounts)

Wanna hook me up? haha



Also, I was able to look at sonic hotness's 1.4T while I was there. They were running it on the dyno. He wouldn't let me take a pic since it was still the prototype "test tube" but it looks very similar to the 1.8 system (only different bends). And as said before, the turbo "whoosh" is really loud.

Best I can do with my phone.
