g60karmann 0 Posted June 25, 2008 mwa ha ha your friend has bought a £169 hair dryer for his golfs induction system :grin: I would think the space the hair dryer takes up in the induction tube will restrict power rather than gain him any Hate to say this but the guy selling this looks like the kinda guy that sells the wanker lights chavs put on their washer jets, I would definetly recommend not purchasing this unless you are :cuckoo: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carpy25 0 Posted June 25, 2008 These have been talked about on many forums , i don't think they could move the volume of air required to work well and in fact i believe the fan would cause a restriction in the intake making it worse , first time i've seen a dump valve fitted to the unit mind you air needed for a 2000cc 4 cylinder would be 500cc per rev per min so at 3000 revs 1.5 millon cc of air per min ,it would need to be one hell of a fan to better that ,turbo's spin at huge speeds to increase intake pressure , i don't very think that thing needs a dump valve imo it won't work Rob must type quicker :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
