No, there is no circulation, I've had it off and it just sucks air in, not recirculates. The engine runs rough when it's off the box so it needs the resistance of the filter.
Do you still have that filter-housing; what are the dimensions for it? I have a TT with a filter on it, but I want to make my own filter-housing for it (using sheet-metal), so my new filter won't flop around, get banged-up, and keep it cleaner --- I just need the outer dimensions? If you don't have the housing anymore, I understand. However, your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
its all good and shit but it looks like you basically replaced an air filter box that draws in cold air for a 400 dollar option that draws in hot air from the engine compartment right? I need to post a video of the one I built for my TT which is drawing outside air only with a huge K&N filter mounted with a splash guard behind the front bumper it sounds amazing and only cost about a 1/4 of that, dont get it twisted your setup looks and sounds good but why draw in more hot air off the engine if you dont need to? just a thought.
This is NOT a cold air intake..Actually it's a warm air intake.The removed original filter housing prevents that warm engine bay air getting sucked in.If you want a cold air intake you'll need to place the filter down below behind the front bumper.Injen for example has such a kit.
doesnt matter on a turbo car the air is hot as fuck once it goes through the turbo and is compressed anyway, the intercooler does majority of the "cooling" before it hits the throttle body.
SofaKingLeet Yes that is correct, but my guess would be that the colder air down below can make a small difference anyway. Especially when you've got a precision tuned engine with of course a bigger and better intercooler.
when it comes to the thermodynamics of compressed air, the difference between 60 degree air and 90 degree air being compressed is minimal. a bigger intercooler will always do more than any type of CAI on a turbo car. mighty car mods proved this with a skyline on the dyno, they took the intake filter completely out of the engine bay and it didnt make any bit difference.
SofaKingLeet Oh wow I did not know that. This is very interesting! So If you mount a ram air cone filter, have an original air filter box or If you have a CAI, it really does not matter performance wise?
on a turbo car, it makes no difference. intakes are a sound mod so you can hear the turbo spool and purge. you will frequently see many heavily modded turbo motors run open compressor housing on the turbo, no filter no intake tube, and they literally pull all the "hot" air from around the motor. i16.tinypic.com/8291lj9.jpg
@@purpleoranges4563 the actual MAF housing bolts to the intake box, so remove the screws that mount it and now you have the tube with your MAF sensor, add a couple couplers clamps and a filter and you're good to go. the screen can be pried out with a flathead at the unions on the plastic housing. super easy barely an inconvenience.
Thanks for the install video! Nice explanation on everything. About to install the 42 on my TT today
Sounds great. Love mine... with the combination of this and Borla it sounds amazing!
Crank case filters help with condensation being mixed in with your oil
thanks for your videos! im learning alot a have an audi tt 2003 convertible...
good job! whats the complete name-code of this filter kit? i mean how i ask for it on the performance market?
42 Draft Design
the lil red filter is a recirculator for the oil pan gases, it takes all the gases back to the intake to re use them
mrrokoso i think that belong to SAI system

Where did you get the heat shield from?
Julius White | Direct it comes with the kit
Why two cold air intake ???? I've only one

Did the computer handle the change in airflow itself or did it have to be re-mapped? Great videos BTW, thanks
I don't think the ECU is sophisticated enough to understand the airflow changes on the box. I've run the car without the box and no codes were thrown.
Computer is sophisticated enough to afjust the airflow.
@@HagakureJunkie the sensor is literally there to measure airflow to adjust the air-fuel ratio lol
Did you really throw it away?
Sounds great
did you get a tune after putting this on?
You dont need a tune...

how much did you say this cai cost.... looking to get a new on for mine
its not a cai its a short ram
take the filter off and remove the silencers from the MAF housing. you get much better spool and purge sound.
How do you do that

Good job. keep it up!
+DevinNukem thanks alot!
Well done.
+Francisco Celada thx bro
Great vid. Just gotta work on camera skills. David from thatdudeinblue started the same. But great effort
+Talha Naveed thanks bro
Same
notification squad
Dat sound doe
+Chris Willman lol
remove the secondary air pump
'Warm air intake'
on a turbo car it doesnt matter, once the air goes through the turbo and is compressed its hot as fuck anyway. the intercooler does the cooling.
I subbed
+tyler thomas thanks bro
This is RAMAIR, these short filter systems is not a true cold air...
That's a terrible design.
