Hi everyone just wondered is it usually noticeable to use less fuel after fitting an induction kit, the original filter had feathers an wasps stuck to it an the engine seems to be running better since putting the induction kit on an i haven't noticed the fuel gauge dropping as rapidly as it was over the last couple of days since fitting new kit

It will be down to the fact the new filter what ever it is, isn't full of shitSo no an induction kit won't make any difference but a clean air filter will  |

These engines are particularly sensitive to wasps, so it should be running slightly better now. Good job with the MPG increase. |

The engine had an allergic reaction to the sting and it cost me a lot of money to have it sorted. You were lucky. ________________________________________ Goldie the track car. |

Anaphylactic shock of the piston is very very rare! How did you counteract the symptoms? Antipistonmeens? ________________________________________ Cherry rallye - DOB Thursday 29/04/1999Team Rallye - the leaner, meaner, better looking sister of the GTI6  roland rat wrote: You sir either live for the 6 or have a mental retardation to still be repairing this! The best engine in the world is the vagina, it takes any size piston, its self lubricating, starts with 1 finger, and every 4 weeks does its own oil change.

Im not sure whether you lose low down torque with an induction kit fitted. The induction trumpet in the airbox looks smaller than the throttle body? |
