Maf housing + filter

Featured Replies

if i were to buy a MAF housing and a new air filter will this make the turbo noises in my car louder or will i need the maf housing and buy an induction kit without the hose?

If you want induction noise then induction kit is the only way of doing it. But personally it's not worth the expense and you will also lose the cold air intake of the factory air box, aka going to a hot air intake for induction noise.

sound mate cheers. do you have any knowledge on what the maf housing and air filter would actually do as the website im looking at getting it off claims slightly more torque and bhp from the better  airflow and also says it will help with turbo flutter

You have already started another thread on basically the same topic, which causes confusion and wastes peoples time in replying. That kit you have linked to is clearly shown fitted to the earlier engine type, not yours. You need to establish from the supplier if it is also suitable for the later type engine you have.

Whether its worth it is up to you, take note of Benjamin's comments.

No intake no matter the claims of the manufacturer on a modern car make a difference to power and torque apart from maybe a negative effect from warm air intake. The engine management is designed to always aim for the target AFR and as the car isn't going to add more fuel, it will instead limit air even if the intake is "free-er flowing" also many people have tested this, OEM intakes generally make more power than aftermarket or the same (it's usually 0.01% difference which is easily small enough to be statistically insignificant and likely just variance from runs)
