worth it on a remapped PD130 ? (remap after any mods)

Also will it make my turbo noise louder ? Any side effects ?
 
No, stop trying to tart up your derv Passat. An induction kit will make a lot of noise and not make it any faster without a remap. It'll sound horrible as well with a derv engine.

Declaring it on your insurance will be a side effect, as will looking like a total berk as you try and race 1.1 Saxo's in your sleeper.
 
Not worth it if you ask me.
No significant gain in BHP, all you'll get is induction noise.

Higher insurance premium for a diesel making extra noise, i wouldn't, I have that same engine. Uprated clutch is on my mind after a remap.
 
It'll sound a lot more diesel like and if not shielded properly, will prolly lose you performance.
You will gain something, though, if done right.
 
i doubt it's worth it. after all isn't it only putting out 90bhp due to the hole in the manifold?
and your MPG seems bad enough as it is
 
GET RID OF THE PASSAT AND BUY A PROPER CAR. READING THESE THREADS IS LIKE TRYING TO OPEN A FRIDGE WITH YOUR PENIS - DIFFICULT AND ULTIMATELY POINTLESS.

nnnnnnnnNNNNNGGGGGGHHHH!













But yeah, stop trying to turn it into something it isn't. There's zero point. ;)
 
You're likely to get a nicer power curve with the original plenum chamber/s on the intake. Induction kits make little difference to anything but cheap small hatchbacks.
 
You've got forced induction already with the turbo. Shortage of air into the engine isn't the problem. If you want a faster car, you should have bought a faster car in the first place, instead of gassing all the other road users with an overmapped turbo diesel.
 
waste of time. too much hot air to breath under the bonnet

your airbox is going to be almost idental to the one on in my s4 (they use the same filter too) and mines good for over 300bhp

just leave it

on a pd130, descreeen the maf and mod the wheel arch liner to get more air through the intercooler
 
punch a hole in your exhaust while you're at it, that'll make it noisier.

There is no point in an induction kit on a derv, well, not that 3 extra HP will make much difference (if that), it won't make it sound any better, it's a diesel - they sound terrible anyway (in most cases).

If you really want to make any difference, look into the tuning boxes instead. sure, it might wreck your engine eventually, but at least it'll be one less passhat on the road :p
 
Most likely lose power if anything, will draw hot air from the engine bay if not done correctly. Plus if you look at the expenisve kits, they are all very similar design to whats already there.

Most cars, have slight mods you can do to make it breath a bit better. E.G for mine you can fit the pipes from the Vectra Diesel onto the airbox as they are larger and give it a little bit more noise.

Have a look at something like this.
