Guys, out of curiosity, what intake setups are you running on your track day/ race MK7’s?
Closed or open? Anyone tried both and have had issues with heat soak on the open setups versus the closed? I know this topic has been around forever but curious to read of your experiences.
I use a closed setup consisting of an 034 front air Plenum feeding air to the Stock bottom air box with an oiled panel filter topped with an Autotech lid, connected by the 034 silicone pipe to an 034 TIP.
I’d say the setup runs cool during daily based on watching IAT’s. And, it manages to keep me on track with Map1 overboost for 20-30min sessions (if using 98 Octane).
An intercooler upgrade is my next big mod and is a much larger priority than fiddling with intake setups, but my 15 year old wants to know if open setups do ok at the track because he likes the sound of them! What can I say? I’m interested too.
