W3RKD 0 Posted March 11, 2003 speak to vr6 on this forum he has try'd both methods! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andi 2,147,483,647 Posted March 11, 2003 Power - a little smoother if done properly. Noise - sooooo much better ;) http://corrado.atx-hosting.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=134 for more chat about it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pau1 0 Posted March 11, 2003 It will make a fantastic note! You'll hear some on Sunday no doubt. And I bet you'll get one a few days after. You might get a few extra horses too. Heat is the main problem with any induction kit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vr6storm 0 Posted March 12, 2003 cheers guys for the advice. will wait and see (and hear) what goes on on sunday and make a decision then. i'll even let you try my modded airbox....don't worry its not swiss-cheesed but it looks stock and is as good as an induction kit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted March 12, 2003 VR6 would be me i guess..... If you can afford it, spend £140 on the Turn2 cold air induction kit......in one word..."lovely!" Sold it to Robch (think that's his username!) due to insurance. Search for induction in all forums as it's mentioned a few times. email me if you want more info.

Robch 0 Posted March 12, 2003 Thats my cue!!! The Turn 2 kit is fantastic! A little bit more expensive than average but worth every penny and more! It has transformed the cars sound and performance! top bit of kit! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vr6paul 0 Posted March 12, 2003 what do the insurance companies say to the turn 2 kit? am i better modifying the air box if i get it right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andi 2,147,483,647 Posted March 12, 2003 Well, you'd have to tell them about the Turn2 kit - and dependding on the company, it'll cost you a bit more on insurance. And you could probably get away with not telling them if you just mod the air box - since unless they take it apart, it looks standard... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vr6paul 0 Posted March 12, 2003 cheers much might try that. Roddy will have a swatch at you airbox on sunday if thats alright? cheers paul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted March 12, 2003 My insurance demand to know of any mods at all so I thought best be safe than sorry and rang them expecting maybe £10-20 charge........nope, £120!! Sod that, so I sold it. (Belldirect.....good premiums.....hate mods!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vr6paul 0 Posted March 12, 2003 i am through adrian flux. Anybody know if they are any friendlier? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andi 2,147,483,647 Posted March 12, 2003 I'm with them too - but got my premium with all the mods already declared. They're normally pretty cool though. Shouldn't be as bad as Bell *cough End cough* Direct. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vr6paul 0 Posted March 12, 2003 might give them a shout and see what the crack is? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dazzyvr6 0 Posted March 12, 2003 im with bell direct,charged me an extra £34 for my induction kit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted March 12, 2003 What's your full premium then? wonder if it works as a percentage? Only been with em for a couple of months so wonder if they were just trying to shaft me! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted March 12, 2003 Going to make my own cold air induction kit at the weekend if it's nice. :evil: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dazzyvr6 0 Posted March 12, 2003 ive only been with them since last week Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robch 0 Posted March 13, 2003 The turn2 kit cost me an extra £38 which I was pleasantly suprised about as I was expecting it to be nearer £80! I'm with privilege! They seem pretty cool! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted March 13, 2003 But what is you full premium Rob? Think they must work it on a percentage, which is why i got mugged!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted March 13, 2003 Did you guys order your Turn2 stuff from the states or is there a UK stockist? Has anyone tried their engine mount? They claim no harshness from the poly insert, sounds too good to be true! Regarding insurance, how much are they likely to sting you on coloured lights? My external mods consist of Lupo wipers, blue side repeaters, colour coded VW emblem at the back and In pro rear clusters. Should I tell em?? Re the airbox, I had an idea today....how about getting a peice of right angle black drain pipe, cut a circular hole in the bottom half of the box to fit the pipe diameter and then route the 90 degree bend into the wing cavity? Looks stock and works to the same principals as the Turn2 mod....and a lot cheaper! Cheers Kev 94 VR6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted March 13, 2003 Kev, Turn2 stuff comes straight from the states but they put value as about $15 so no customs worry ;) They have a very good range of products apparantly! Fancy the ally crank pulley myself. Re: mod - that's what I am planning to do this weekend.....think the difficulty may be with fixing the pipe to the airbox and again at a suitable place on the framerail. ideas?

Andi 2,147,483,647 Posted March 13, 2003 I looked at this - there isn't really any space where it'll get air from the front... Unless you start cutting holes :shock: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted March 13, 2003 Andi - I'm planning to basically do the Turn2-style kit but leaving the air box...just need to cut a hole in the bottom of the box above the carbon can and run the pipe down near the wing - lots of lovely cold air :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
