   Sorry if this has been asked loads of times before guys but my question is Wich is the best induction kit for a 106 gti?
   I was thinking about the BMC CDA but wasn't too sure if there was any better ones for the gti.
   Thanks

   Currently have a open air green cotton filter at the min.
   Would you recommend I stick with this then instead of the BMC etc.
   Thanks

   couple of my mates have the k&n panel filters in the standard airbox and rekon there great, i had a cda on my vts and it was a good filter but gave off alot of noise, so i went back to standard airbox and found it about the same

   dont get a raceland!!!!! they melt as there made of plastic cause its a 4-2-1, i went through 3 enclosed cases, theres a massive topic about this, but the best ie either carbon CDA enclosed or a ecosse enclosed one. just some advise there, how is the car?

    BMC CDA is great for reducing heatsoak, however - everyone thinks bigger is better when its not.

    I'm still a firm believer of open air filters and will stand by them every time. Yes I know they suffer from heatsoak, but with a heat shield and a good couple of cold air feeds it WILL draw a greater a volume of air than an enclosed filter like the CDA ones. It will also make the throttle more responsive.
