CAI for sound but worried about heat soak

I suggest you hold off a couple of weeks and I should have some information that may make the decision easier.

I was just thinking of you on this one! Would be nice to see how intakes affect both IATs and spool as the heat goes up.
Oh yeah, (in regulates to closed intakes) I wouldn’t trade my stock airbox with snow mod/K&N filter for pretty much (few exceptions) any intake for free. And the ones I would swap for isn’t worth the money to buy and do so. I am considering the ECS coupler that goes from turbo to stock airbox though, get rid of the ribbed tube. Though I’d bet a paycheck that would make no measurable difference.

I went with the cheaper P34 intake from 034 and I am pretty happy with it. It also matches some of the OEM plastics in the engine bay
I bet there is not a whole lot of sound with that one as it is just a drop in basically.I went with the cheaper P34 intake from 034 and I am pretty happy with it. It also matches some of the OEM plastics in the engine bay

There is a little bit more sound, the intake noise sounds a bit more agressive.
Do you get the woosh sounds letting off? I like your engine cover. Mine looks so different from yours. Also how does the majesty ic perform? Does it require any extra materials to install and can you keep the factory ic in place?

Yes there are wooshing DV sounds when you let off but its not super loud. I also have a turbo muffler delete and turbo inlet pipe so that might add some additional noise. The engine cover I have is from the Tiguan.

Who cares about sound. Bovvvvvv bro. ? I’m full IHX475 kit And the turbo isn’t that loud tbh. IC preforms well, and no you can’t keep the oem as it’s a replacement for it. No extras, though mine came with new couplers and t bolts.

If you want sound, by a bov
Didn’t want to do that because I read it is a recirculating system

I live in Phoenix and have a CAI and haven't had any problems with heat.
