While assembling the heat shields I noticed that the black rubber pipe connecting the air filter to the inlet manifold was getting extremely hot. Isolating filter completely from engine bay but leaving the filter exposed to the air entering the engine bay. So while an induction kit will make a better noise and make then engine bay look better it may not increase peak horsepower if it is not properly shielded from the heat of the engine bay. With its sleek and modern design, our heat shield adds a touch of style to your engine bay, complementing the overall look of your vehicle.

These gains solely take into consideration the hp gains due to lower temps and not the hp gains that the induction filter may also bring. To test the temperatures on the road, a route was devised which took in Urban Roads, Open Roads and Motorways. Replacement panel filters will not increase the horsepower of your car over a new, standard paper filter, however paper filters can become blocked with dust more quickly than performance replacement panel filters due to catching smaller size dust particles. TFSI (EA888) engines used in MQB chassis vehicles such as (but not limited to) the Golf GTI (mk7) and Audi S3. This performance intake kit allows improved air flow and sound over the standard restrictive factory equipment.This site uses cookies and other tracking technologies to assist with navigation and your ability to provide feedback, analyse your use of our products and services, assist with our promotional and marketing efforts, and provide content from third parties.

Silicone Intake Pipe – Single piece turbo intake pipe made with 5-ply polyester reinforced silicone, providing excellent protection from high engine bay temperatures. We would like to advise that it is illegal to remove any emission control devices or increase the exhaust noise limit on vehicles permitted to drive on public roads in the UK and most other countries around the world.

I want to make a sandwich style,like a layer of refletive tape/ isoplan 3mm /aluminium plate 1mm for the structure/ isoplan 3mm. I tried air filter heat shields in 4 different designs to see which was the most effective at reducing inlet temps. The idle temperature was taken by running the engine up to operating temperature with the bonnet open.

The heat shield cover helps to maintain cooler air intake temperatures by reflecting heat away from the filter, which in turn allows the engine to breathe in more cool air and perform at its best. The figures used to calculate power gains due to the reduction in intake temperatures are taken from Banks Power, see link. The temperature was monitored on the route to determine the trends in the temperature changes, the max temperatures and minimum temperatures. Our Aluminium Heat Shield comes with all the necessary installation hardware and detailed instructions, making the installation process a breeze. Heat Shield with OEM mounting points – Laser cut, precision folded heat shield powder-coated in black, is designed to fit directly to the standard OEM factory air box mounting points and rubbers without the need for modification.
