Does anyone no how big is the hole for air filter there is not ramair induction kit for mk6 so need to buy universal  but needs to no if its rugged or rubber pipe and how big hole

Can't answer the pipe size question but any cone filter will increase the engine intake noise and will allow you to hear the turbo. Loads of companies do filters, here's a link to K&N's product selector http://www.knfilters.co.uk/universal.aspx

Yeah I saw that kn i57 induction kut you think any cone filter will make noise like that??

The induction kit noise you usually hear is caused by the vacuum the engine is generating as it revs up, it doesn't really work on a diesel as a diesel engine is a free air engine meaning that it produces no vacuum in normal operation. The noise you hear on the diesel would probably be coming from the turbo taking air in to compress, the fact that there is a noise at all means that there is a restriction being caused by the air filter. On my 1.4 TDCi I just have a normal generic cone filter, throttle response is much much better and its causing the MAF to throw an error code due to the larger volumes of air its now flowing. I can hear the turbo spool up at unspool when driving around, on the motorway there is just a slightly louder engine note due to the additional air being flowed through the engine.

So do you recommend induction kit kn i57?? Would that sound like that with out any errors ?

The sound in the video above is created by the turbo. It depends on the car as to what you can get away with without triggering an engine warning light. I personally stuck a K&N cone filter with an MAF sensor adaptor onto my stock intake hose and have never had an issue. If you're going to buy an induction kit just make sure it is for your specific car and engine or it will cause problems and may not even fit.
