Is there any point in adding air filter to a 1.9 golf tdi?
also is there a difference between an induction kit and an air filter?

Best Answer – Chosen by Voters All cars have air filters to stop dirt/dust entering the engine and wearing it prematurely. If it is standard your car has an air filter already which should be perlaced to maintain efficiency at service intervals.An induction kit sometims has a different filter and is a way of feeding more and maybe colder air into the engine to improve performance. It may make it sound louder and certainly not better. As your car is a turbo an induction kit would not make any noticable difference.

There is a difference between an induction kit and an air filter. An induction kit will replace your vehicles standard factory airbox. The air filter ultilses the original airbox.The aim of this kind of modification is to increase the amount of air entering the engine. The quicker you can get air into the engine and the colder the charge of air is the more you can produce power.Large gains can be found on Turbo charged engines imparticulary if you can cool the charge temperature down. It should also be noted that fuelling should be checked and adjusted. One thing you must remember is that an intake system is designed on a car to offer effiecency, fuel economy and also baffle against induction noise. An induction kit will increase noise, marginally increase power but increase fuel consumption and increase induction roar.

if you want the car to sound meaner look into an aftermarket exhaust kit like flowmaster or something similar, it will make your car more throaty sounding, induction will not add much noticable sound difference to the car as all it is doing is allowing more air to enter the engine. also if you want to replace the air filter I would look into buying a K&N air filter as they are reusable and are good for 1 million miles as long as you use the cleaning solution made for it once every few months

Fit a performance air filter in the airbox, smooth all the ridges in the airbox, and fit a larger diameter pipe from the airbox to the original intake position, or the front bumper.An induction kit will just suck in hot air from the engine bay and will decrease performance.

If you want to change the sound you'd be better off changing the tailpipe….I wouldn't mess around with the air intake system…if your looking to increase performance why not get it chipped and add a few more BHP……

adding an performance air filter would increase the flow of air to the turbo. Anytime you can increase flow and velocity of air into a turbo it will be more efficient. The difference between a perfomance panel (drop in) filter and the induction system or cold air intake is that the panel filter is cheaper and works using the stock air intake system. The cold air intake uses a modified intake system to funnel more and colder air into the intake to give it the most amount of air possible. Be advised that all intakes are not created equal, adding an intake system that does not draw air that is colder than the ambient air temp around the engine will show little to no increase in performance. You also dont want an intake system that draws air from very low in the engine bay, because if you drive through a deep puddle ect, you will hydrauliclly lock your engine. It will make the intake noise a bit louder, but with the diesel, you wont hear it over the exhaust, and not over the turbo noise thats allready there.
