fair douz - the temp readin on mine never ever goes about 80, but i think the ambient temp under the bonnet wud be almost the same as a petrol car. If not, higher, coz the intercooler dissapates one hell of alot of heat, especially when running higher boost etc | |

Mine responded very well to the induction kit. I doubt there is much of a power increase, but engines revs a hell of a lot more freely, and power/torque curve is now much smoother! | |

to do with the engine bay not becoming as hot in a TD perhaps? | |

i did the td tuning, and my car was no way near as fast as my bro kris td's. i thought something was buggered in the engine as i put a few posts up saying this. anyway i got offered a ramair induction kit for a tenner so i thought why not ill just get more whistle but no increase in power coz the drilled airbox. but infact just by changing the drilled airbox to a cone filter it somehow makes my car sh*t hot quick, it now boosts 1 bar no trouble! |
