Tdi cone filters?

[VWMartin]

Hi guys

I'm running a 1z conversion in my T25 and I'm lacking space in my engine bay due to air box being on the wrong side of the bay.

Just wondering if anyone is running a cone induction filter on their tdis as this would save me a load of different problems.

I'm thinking of getting one but don't wanna waste £80 and a load of work to make it effective.

Any help would be great.

Thanks.

I have a K&N Apollo on mine, been on for 3 years or so.

On my 1Y - K&N:

Cool. Any ideas which one you guys have? Or are they all pretty much the same?

[lloydy]

I just gave you the name of mine... K&N Apollo. It's a enclosed one, so it's quite easy to attach up to your diesel snorkel. I'll see if I have a pic handy, but Google will show you

The filter is inside the conical part

I like the look of that. Tempted to get one for my 1Y. Although its about the same price as I paid for the engine.

Yeah i had a look... worth the money?

How do you find the noise levels with that set up?

I'm looking for a solution to get rid of the horrific noise/ vibration that occurs between 65 - 70!

I've got a cone filter mounted behind the rear light, not sure what make. Would love to have something plumbed into the snorkel..

Anyone know what size cone inlet is needed for the Tdi's? Found some universal ones, but need to know size and with being at work i cant measure! lol.

I find mine pretty quiet, the engine is quieter than my wbx, and the 1.6td I had running standard air filters.
I am going back to a normal type filter after the summer, for me it was a convenience thing as it fitted in the space I had. I've since made more space..

Air inlet on a TDI is 70mm, well that's what your MAF will be be.

Cheers mate - measured it last night and the MAF is indeed 70mm.

I too dont have the space so want to do a few things and the cone is one of them. Ordering a 'Green' filter 140x200mm.
