#1: My introduction + questions! (intake filter) Author: tubbe2, Location: DenmarkPosted: Fri Aug 12, 2011 2:18 am ---- Hello everyone, my first post here
I'm a 20 year old bloke, as you call English lads call it I'm from the little country known as Denmark, if you know the location - something's rotten I've soon had my car for 1 year, obviously a 206!
Soo about the car, I've got a 206 GTi from 2002 with 130K km on the mileage, slighty started modifying it, all about performance at the moment - ICE and lights will come later.
I was wondering what airfilter/induction kit/cold intake kit would give the best performance? (price doesn't matter)
I've already searched the forums, but I couldn't find anything about the specific ones I'm looking at.
I've been thinking about buying the K&N 57i Gen2, as it looks neat, but on the 206 guide the Typhoon is recommended - can't find much about the Gen2 kit on the forum... So, what performs best, 57i Gen2 or Typhoon?
Also, another option I've looked at, is a cup(?)intake - picture below.
In a sidenote, I got myself a pair of Group N gear rods, Griffiths Quickshift, MTEC Brake Discs front rear dimpled & grooved + Mintex pads and a Janspeed Cat Back Exhaust waiting to be fitted Might also include a Stainless steel manifold, just need to know if my friends stepdad (mech) will know how to fit it. Later on a K&W Variant 1 Inox coilover suspension, as it seems to be the best quality, and not too expensive (approx 650£)
P.s. I paid £6118 for my car, had 117K km at that time - prices are soo high here in Denmark, cuz of the 180% registration tax + 25% VAT tax At least my insurance is cheap, as I work for the police and get a business deal at a state insurance company (run by cops)
Regards from Denmark!

They sound really good, not too over the top. But the fuel economy dropped.
I doubt there were any power gains.

I've heard about the K&N 57i Gen2 but have never seen anybody with it. I'd say the Typhoon is your better option

#9: Re: My introduction + questions! (intake filter) Author: meady, Location: basingstokePosted: Fri Aug 12, 2011 4:58 am ---- typhoon would be better out of thm two mate, welcome by the way
#10: Re: My introduction + questions! (intake filter) Author: tubbe2, Location: DenmarkPosted: Mon Aug 15, 2011 2:19 am ---- It's funny how everyone is more focused about the names and boss and mush was the only ones I didn't really know btw.
Still didn't buy either of the two, and I guess no one has experience with the cup-intake or the 57i Gen2 either the faster you drive, the more cold air the engine should get on the Gen2 - as the intake is on/under the front bumper it might not show on a dyno though... would love to see a dyno test on the Typhoon and the 57i Gen2....
Might as well end up buying the Gen2, to stand out from the crowd (and also 'cuz it was the cheapest I could find)
Anyone know where I can get the best price on both of them? So far the cheapest I found was on amazon.co.uk for £209

#12: Re: My introduction + questions! (intake filter) Author: tubbe2, Location: DenmarkPosted: Mon Aug 15, 2011 2:42 pm ---- Ordered the 57i Gen2 from Amazon anyhow, £218.51 including shipping to Denmark it should come before, on or after my birthday (between 23th and 31th)
