What problems would you be referring to exactly? most of these cars pull great from relatively low revs, they have max tourque at 5500rpm iirc, which isnt that high. if its noticeably slow, then chances are you have a problem.

Welcome to the club though anyway mate, and tell your mates to do one! My friends are all 306 haters too, rocking around in VW's. They cant understand why i like peugeot so much.

that's certainly one way of solving the issue i spose, these things are not supercars, they are just fairly quick. That said my one still surprises me sometimes!

Hopefully the local one... Welcome to the club. And if you are from Kent... Come to a meet, il be posting one up tomorrow night. Be good to meet you fella.

I will try putting on my apollo closed induction kit and see if i can notice any improvement in low down response otherwise i might stick a panel filter on.
About the inlet manifold gasket is there a type you can reccommend and where to buy.

Don't supose you know what fuel pressure the regulator vavle is set at on a standard gti 6. I got this replacement 4.0 bar prv to put on my previous pug but the ecu did not accept it; it idled irratically.

Wondered if i could put it on my gti 6 and if it would increase the throttle response along with the addition of a apollo closed induction kit.

Don't fit the FPR. Way overkill and as said the fuelling is set up very nicely as stock. Whacking on a higher bar FPR will just result in overfuelling.

Lots of hesitation and misfiring

Jerkiness on the throttle is more likely to be engine mounts and/or throttle position sensor. Also wouldn't rev at top end as the fuel pressure would be too low.

We'll keep in touch. If your top mount is moving it may well have a cracked cradle which will need welding. Not a major job though.

It's the age old argument isn't it. If I fit a induction kit or filter will it increase throttle response and bhp and torque? To be honest in my opinion it really can be hit and miss and in the majority of case it's trying to find a balance.

It's all about volumetric efficiency I.e how much air can pass through a cylinder in a given cycle.

By using a induction kit with a cold air feed you in theory have increased the volume in the inlet side so a throaty sound and slight increase in torque should be found.

If you on the other hand throw a cone filter on the throttle body you have decreased the inlet side and you have a raspy sound which could increase power at higher RPM where you want the air in and out of the cylinder quickly.

The only true way to find out effects is rolling road tests. Before/after/using different kits etc.

I think that with the GTI-6 engine in standard form peugeot have tuned the engine to be at an excellent base at all required. Look at the exhaust manifold for example. They wouldn't manufacture an engine for us then to fit a cone filter and release an extra 15 horses

I can see what your saying with throttle response. Iv just bought mine and it has a viper induction kit connected to the standard air feed in the grille and a de cat with 2.5" stainless exhaust with centre box and rear silencer.

It's too load and I want the CAT back for mr MOT and because I think the back pressure would assist in torque at low revs.

I hope you guys will read this and either agree or politely disagree and explain why

The gain you might have achieved might by pyscological - a nice induction kit sound makes you feel like your going faster! Ohhh and has any one bought one of the throttle body's on eBay that's been polished and bored out slighty? Look quite nice. I'll try post the link.

I'm not a physics man but say the size of the filters were the same, the same pipes etc. The only thing that was different was the restrictivity of the filter itself. The air would flow past filter A faster than filter B but the volume of air in the pipes would remain the same but more air would be transported in the same time frame in the case of filter A. That's why I mentioned the speed of the air flow and the amount of air.

Sooo... what I said I might have done by fitting the induction kit is increase the air flow rate but decrease the volume of air in the pipes by fitting a smaller filter.

Not sure I've made a point but it was fun writing it. Now I'm going to bed.

You learn something new every day One thing I will be doing to the '6 when it comes along.
