Forge CAI to suit MkV or Mk6 1.4 TSI

[Paul_OH]

**SOLD **

I have this posted up on VWWC and thought I may as well include it here too.

Heading down a different route with my CAI so have my Forge CAI up for sale. Purchased mid last year and covered approx 15K.

Some minor chafing on the filter cannister where it contacts the felt battery box however not noticeable once installed. Some minor chafing on the hose where it passes through the body down below the passenger side foglight (again, not visible once installed).

Filter is dry paper type which Forge recommend to blow out every 20,000km or so (I normally blow it out every 5000km or so).

This isn't a loud "roaring" type CAI due to it being fully enclosed however it certainly lets the lovely supercharger/turbo sounds be heard. I understand these are fully legal also due to being an enclosed filter arrangement (don't quote me on this though) which also minimises hot air ingestion. I cannot explicitly state that this will add XX HP to your car however the responsiveness is certainly noticeable along with fuel economy in the order of 0.3-0.5l/100km from my experience vs the convoluted stock system.

I can't be certain but I believe this will also fit TDI versions aswell, the TSI manifold is 70mm - Filter body 76mm however I have a 76mm/3" straight silicone joiner aswell if someone wants to try it?

Supplied in original Forge packaging, silicone couplers, fitting instructions and extra Forge sticker.

would this plug on to the existing stock piping on the TFSI engine (GTI) ?

[kaoticice]

Im curious, where does the air feed to? Im assuming mk6 engine layout will be a little different to mk5. and where do you purchase the inserts?
thanks

That's a good price, looks good too.

[Paul_OH]

HASH - I don't believe it will fit the GTI engine in it's current layout however like most things I'm sure it can be adapted.

kaoticice - the air pickup threads down the hole in the body behind the left hand headlight, you can run vented fog light grilles or otherwise leave them as is - there would be plenty of airflow in there. I'm not aware of any physical difference (other than engine tune) between the TSI in the Mk V & Mk6 as it's a very basic arrangement. I'm currently running the CAI from a Scirocco which has the 118TSI and it fits perfectly.
When you asked about the inserts, which parts exactly do you mean?

Yeah different in that the airbox in the mk5 I'd part of the engine cover whereas on the mk6 it's a nice little unit on it's own. Makes changing it for an aftermarket much easier in the mk6 I think

Hey Paul, I'm referring to the filter inserts. Considering its a dry-based filter.
Ok now im interested... i shouldn't have seen this thread :(

[Paul_OH]

Aah, I see what you mean now.
The filter is a conical type filter that is formed within the end caps of the cylinder. I haven't had a close look at it so am not sure if it can be separated but it can be removed (of course) from the cylinder for cleaneing. I assume that should the filter medium require replacement that a new filter with attached end cap would need to be purchased from FORGE. The comment below however is what FORGE emailed me prior to purchase:

Hi Paul, it doesn’t need servicing as such as it’s a dry filter. Just needs a good blow out with an airline in the reverse direction of flow around the 20000 mile mark (32000 kms).

Hope that helps

Paul
