I’m always looking for TDI info so hopefully you keep up with these videos because they don’t get a lot of love here in America like the the gas burning vw’s do.
I will! I’m currently working on my mini and trying to get it done before H2oi BUT once that is done I’m most likely going to be focusing on just mods for the tdi. And you’re right the tdi is sort of forgotten so I enjoy making content on it! Haha
Feel free to pm me any questions you might have. The TDI culture here in Denmark is huge. You can't go to any car meet without hearing the Mating call of the howling tdi turbos everywhere :D I myself have a 1.9 tdi winter beater in an audi a4 b5 :D
@@patrickbernard5458 sold mine to my brother and getting into square body chevy scene. Always had a K5 jimmy but I just bought a 90’ suburban and plan on making it a overlander or daily trail rig. Chances a s10 blazer gets a tdi are good lol.
To really hear the turbo scream, you’ll need to either pick up the neuspeed straight through turbo damper, or debaffle the stock one (route I went) you’ll be able to hear the veins release (orgasmic) and overall louder/smoother spool, my 13 golf currently has a borla 2.5” straight pipe catback and gutted the secondary cat along with a custom 4” intake I built, I understand you can’t do the cat and maybe they’d complain about the cat back when under warranty but for my county there’s no emissions testing so I’ll be doing a full emissions delete and Malone stg2 this week. Best of luck on your tdi ownership I do about 600 miles a week like you and I can proudly say that on a budget there isn’t a more fun car to own
Yes! That is the route I think I’m gonna go as well I had a buddy who told me about doing a turbo damper I believe he has the nuespeed one. Unfortunately here in jersey there’s emissions testing and what not so since it’s a daily I want to keep it simple you know? But your car is def gonna be super fun after the delete as tune . I know one day I’m probably gonna cave in and do it myself lol I know how I am.. and I agree these cars are very fun to drive I love every minute of it! And thank you man I hope your car treats you well I know you’ll have a great time after the delete and tune!
@@hayzeproductions7093 a Dremel with a hand full of different bits to cut the baffles out, sounds hard but once you have it off you'll see its really easy
don't buy diesel if u don't make longer trips also they are verry limited for modifications it's better for u to get golf gti u have plenty of mods for them if u are from europe and u looking engine parts i recomand u to look at bar-tek website up there u can get almost everything for vw cars (parts for diesels are much more uncommon)
I love turbodiesel engines lol.... I have a 2016 Chevy Colorado 2.8 duramax diesel. I installed an S&B intake and it was great. It really woke up the engine and I use v power diesel fuel
Nice!!!!! No joke I love the new Colorado’s I’ve been so tempted to possibly get one in the future I love them haha .. one of my next future investments will absolutely be a pick up
Stock intake box has two air flow channels, one for engine, and another hose goes in to that box from the engine. You left it unplugged, what this hose exactly there for? Should I buy a new longer hose and connect it to that new intake box?? Thanks for answers!
In my honest opinion it is worth it ..throttle response is def better when putting your foot down and I think it has just enough of a whoosh sound to justify haha now mind you it isn’t an over bearing obnoxious blow off sound but at the same time you can def notice the induction when your foot is in it as well as the whose when letting off throttle !
Yes! Go for it man haha anything to make the car sound better and be more fun to drive and yes more videos are coming hopefully end of this week and next week as well!
I haven’t noticed anything negative so far at all with the mpg it seems the be constant.. and no lights have come on the dash at all and I drive this thing like 400-500 miles a week so I totally recommend it !
Also power wise I didn’t notice really anything..throttle response is better I will say and you get the satisfying “whoosh” when letting off the gas or shifting gears!
At 8:49 there is also another hose that is disconnected. What is the purpose of that hose? I found it disconnected on my jetta and am trying to figure out if damage has been done or not.
@DArias Just watched this, did you have any problems with it this far? Assuming this was a daily driver? I just bought the intake and I’m nervous that I’m going to jeopardize the reliability of my car
Hey man. I've been watching your videos since im looking for my first car. I want an r56 2012 S. I want to get the car loud but not insanely droney and obnoxious with burble. (But ofc i still want some pops and bangs.) Do you think I should just cut the muffler and connect like a 3" Y pipe, and not mess with the cats or resonator?
Tbh most of the pops and bangs are super loud and noticeable with a cat and secondary cat. So my recommendation would be to get w cat less downpipe and remove the secondary cat and you can keep the stock catback and you should get some nice pops and you’ll even probably be able to shoot some flames here and there. With the cats in you will get some nice pops here and there but it’s def easier without that !
DArias_ Thanks, so with the catless downpipe, will there be no tune needed since its only deleting the one cat or what? Or maybe I have false information on needing a tune with a catless downpipe
The ecu will adjust accordingly to the mods after some driving is done.. you will get full benefit from it if you do a tune so it is best to do a tune so you get the positive effects of the mods you choose to do
I just saw this. 5/11/21. Are you happy with the spool noise? Have you checked to see if you increased your MPG? I'm looking at getting the Volant 116206.
Okay, what is the point to this? Other than making the engine look "jacked with", does it help performance? I ask cause someone did this to my '14 Jetta TDI sedan and I'm trying to find the correct parts to put it back to OEM. Keep your parts so when you sell...
I have a golf mk7 1.6 tdi (stage 1, 150 bhp) I want to improve the sound of the motor, turbo spool noises, just a bit of extra sound. What intake should I get? Thank you. Great vid!
When letting off gas and the turbo spools with the new intake do you hear the woosh when the windows are closed or is similar to when u had it stock and can barely hear the turbo with the windows closed, great video btw very in depth and detailed
Thank you man! Appreciated ... but when the windows are closed it sounds a little more on the faint side but it’s still noticeable.. obviously with the windows down it’s pretty loud and noticeable..did you do the intake ? Or you’re debating on doing it ?
Diego Arias im on the verge of doing it just trying to find the best possible intake i could get to get the loudest result off the spool but thanks man keep up the good work!!
I came to your video because i remember seeing the breather looking spring tube under the silver intake pipe. I’m installing my intake and didn’t realize to look but does that hose just stay free or does it connect to something else?
With my VW caddy 2.0tdi CLC with the intake on I can not go pass 140km the engine light comes on with the stock airbox and a b.m.c filter in the airbox I can go 200km I do have a software and Down pipe and egr delete and on the Dyno with stock airbox I am making 140kw and 450nm. When the light comes on with air-intake I use vcds to check the fault it says overboost
Yes the hose I pulled Off and left it ..all it is, is a tube that sends heat to the intake system to warm the engine up a little quicker..it won’t throw a code or anything for it not being connected and the car drives normal as well and I haven’t seen a difference in warm up time so far tbh maybe in the winter a little but I think it’ll be ok haha
GOTTA ASK, and hopefully you reply. Did you ever experience limp mode after doing this while driving on the highway? Mine keeps going into limp mode after 30 miles or climbing a hill on the highway. So i just keep the maf unplugged.
No sir never! I’ve had the intake on for over a year and 10k miles nothing issues at all.. is your filter oiled up? A lot of times oil gets applied to some filter on the markets and it can gunk of the maf causing issues.. you need a dry air filter..again that may be the issue
@@DArias It was a dry cone filter. and thanks for the fast reply! i will be looking into just buying a new one. I have sprayed it with maf cleaner before, didnt do any good.
Yes I do haha but it’s in my driveway and my neighbors are a bit annoying sometimes so I didn’t wanna rev it out multiple times and have people bitch so I just revved it low
Absolutely ! Here is the link www.urotuning.com/products/injen-sp-short-ram-intake-system-sp3009p?variant=31561065726007&Google%20Shopping&gclid=CjwKCAjw34n5BRA9EiwA2u9k39ore94Sh2oqWJzJjHZmur2M1dcWevdfH0g5DzV-A-ryrXREcZzruRoCKn4QAvD_BwE
Yes that hose transfer heat to the intake to warm the engine up quicker in cold weather. People either pull it off completely or point the hose to the ground
This was helpful for me. So when you have removed the item shown from 4:30 in the video; The large plastic pipe to the left of it can be pulled out of the airbox connection point? Probably loosen something first, right?
I’ll be honest I’ve never dynoed the car and I’m so used to it that it feels the same as it did since I installed it haha.. now the stock intake is good for a lot more power than stock but won’t give you the nice turbo sounds this intake would ...So it all depends on what you’re looking for
you do loose performance cause your drawing in hot engine bay air into the turbo. youll never see a high performance turbo car that isnt drawing in air from the outside,, thats why you see the turbo intake directly vented to the outside of car. get a kerma or uro intake. it mounts to the original intake port at front of vehicle..
When driving it’s very noticeable over stock I promise lol..unfortunately at the time my old neighbors behind me would complain whenever I do car things so I wasn’t able to rev it up high to hear the induction
People either fully remove it or point it downward. That hose is used to transfer heat to the intake in cold weather to warm the engine faster but is not needed with an after market intake
@@DArias when I removed this hose to install the Injen intake, I noticed a lot of extra heat in the engine bay and it triggered code P0420. Have you had or heard of this issue?
A tune would be nice but it’s not necessary.. the ecu will compensate for the change in airflow the engine gets. Tune will give you the full benefit of all the mods you do though
Just to let you know, most turbos on a diesel do not have a blow off valve so it would be pretty hard and probably kind of pointless to install one aside from the noise.
Sound doesn’t equal power...trust me as a fellow TDI owner you’re not going to get a better design then the factory air box...just put in a K&N air filter that fits in the factor box...those cone filters are way SMALLER then the factory filter element which means LESS AIR which translates into LESS POWER
Yes tune and stock exhaust and tbh I’ve gone back and forth with wanting to do a dpf delete and then switching tuner since kerma doesn’t do tunes for non factory exhausts anymore but the car runs soo good rn that I have small desires to change things up
I've been going through the same thing. I don't know whether to get a kerma tune and leave it stock exhaust or not. Would you recommend the kerma tune?
Personally and totally unbiased.. my friend has a 2013 gold tdi that is fully deleted and Malone stage 2 and I rode in it and also drove it and I’m not gonna lie it felt pretty much the same to me and my kerma tuned wagon now yes it makes way cooler sounds and a nice rumble in the exhaust but idk of spending another $2k with exhaust and tune is justified.. like maybe it felt a little faster being the exhaust is fully opened up but idk.. we didn’t run our cars and such but soon we may just to see the outcome.. the dpf delete though absolutely makes the throttle a bit more responsive and sounds great but other than that I can’t say “oh Malone is way better” or “kerma is better” yadayada I feel it’s personal preference whenever someone asks me if I recommend kerma I say yes just because it’s a good aggressive tune that you can easily notice a difference in power
That’s correct and have you tested the voltage on the battery? Nothing is draining your battery without you knowing ? Try jump starting it. Could also be an alternator issue possibly
DArias_ thanks for reply ,no I haven’t check battery let, headlights are nice and bright and fan blower works fine ,I drove my car 45 min from my house to work everything was fine ,i then shut it off for 5 min .i went to restart it nothing just a click .i did try juggling the start/stop botton and the starter did crank one time
That hose transfer engine heat into the stock air box to let the car warm up a bit faster but it’s not needed.. some people leave the hose attached hanging below the aftermarket intake and some people just remove the hose all together.. personally the car warms up in the same amount of time either way so it’s not necessary!
Someone says the MK7 golf motor is "far better" than the MK6 motor. Is this true or bullshit? I have an MK6 tuned by Malone and deleted. Want to put the GTD turbo on and stage 3. Nice car.
Thanks man! And tbh it depends lol the cjaa in the mk6 is a great motor especially when deleted they are pretty powerful and reliable.. the mk7 is good too only thing personally I don’t like about the mk7 if the DEF which they have had many issues with the lines leaking and such but that’s under the dieselgate warranty .. all in all they’re both great platforms that are super similar ! And I need to delete mine ASAP fr 🤦🏽♂️
So I personally just tucked it under pointing to the ground but you can also remove that hose and you’ll be fine.. it’s function is to run warm air through the stock intake when the car is cold to help warm it up faster
Yes! Make sure the maf is connected right and there’s an arrow on the maf itself that shows what direction it goes in. If backwards it’s won’t detect air right and cause a light
Breather hose doesn’t get connected back with an aftermarket intake.. you can either take it off completely or you can take it and have it point downward to the ground .. that breather hose was only used to transport warm air to the intake on start up so the engine would warm up faster
The intake itself is labeled as a cold air intake but I do see where you can consider to be a short ram since it doesn’t replace the full tube from the top of the turbo all the way through.. I’m not sure what you mean by a cold air intake being under the engine though ?
Diego Arias fair enough and I mean not under the engine lol 😂😂 from what I have seen there normally behind the grill under the headlight we’ll the tube is anyway the filter it self is in the engine bay
Ohhhh ok lol yeahhhh there are different sorts of intakes that’s true even some with the filter at the bottom of the bumper etc. I mean I consider this to be a cold air intake but def you have a point of it looking like a short ram being the tube isn’t connected to the turbo itself with one pipe. You have a valid point
@@lowlifemax ive gotta mk5 2,0tdi on standard intake but gotta downpipe and the rest of exhaust on 3" pipe. And i dont have this sound :( we are talkin about sound in 15:36
@@danieltomaszmichalak1041 open your air box, turn on your engine, rev it and while you rev it turn it off. You will hear sutututu since the air won’t get into the engine no more
Bro honestly nobody gets a cold air intake for power, we get it for the sweet turbo spool. Just installed one myself and its worth it for the noise alone.
if an American NMS Passat is what you mean, then yes it will fit because I have one. The directions say it’s only for the Jetta/Jetta Sportwagen/Golf/Beetle but the mounting points are the exact same on the Passat
I will be brutally honest I’m not 100% sure unfortunately.. I assume possibly that in the details of the specifics when buying the intake it’ll tell you which TDIs it works for
dont do it. your just drawing hot engine bay air into your turbo..loss of performance. even tho it sounds cool. lame idea. should be called hot air intake. tubo needs coolest air possible for best performance. look at drag or race cars. their air intakes are mounted with ports that draw air directly from the outside of vehicle for the coldest air to keep turbo cool as possible. turbos get extremely hot very fast. get a kerma or uro intake it bolts up to the og port at front of engine bay and cuts off any chance of drawing in hot engine bay air.
I totally agree with you yes it does suck a lot of hot air haha.. I mean for me personally I don’t mind loss in power for this application because the car regardless of what you do is going to be slow at this level so I’ll trade some horsepower for cool turbo noises( personal opinion) haha
