point of the filter was to remove the airbox so I can hear the turbo flutter more get off your high horse. train horns are a great idea.going from i want to use a cool F&F filter to i just wanted sound... sure bud.
just keep telling yourself that.
put some train horns on it
Man that's great. I wish. Can't afford another car at the moment though and if I'm getting a project car it's going to be JDM or an older BMW.Actually, if you are after sound, even better a W8 than a V10 TDI:
Lol come on man how old are youRam air... on a turbo engine....
putting this much effort to make a cone filter or (dust ram) lol is moronic. just like putting train horns on a jetta, like i actually did...
OMG seriously
removing emissions components (mufflers and cats) is not a legal decision here. against forum rules.
Why this post wasn't locked while everyone gets warnings for trolling... is beyond me!
Mongler is mongler... You'll get used to it, don't take it personally.Lol come on man how old are you
Old enough to not be impressed by the 10 fast and furious movies enough to want turbo sounds because it looks cool... or whatever your reasons are now.Lol come on man how old are you
I don't think it's very mature nor polite to be like that. You had my level of knowledge at some point - we all start somewhere buddy. Seems like a lot of people took me seriously and you're the only one who didn't which is fine, people like you exist. Could have chosen to be polite and helpful but your superiority complex scoffed at my newcomer level question. And what forum rule was I breaking? I was asking a question about air filters and sound deadening on my TDI. Surely that fits into the subsection of TDI discussion.Old enough to not be impressed by the 10 fast and furious movies enough to want turbo sounds because it looks cool... or whatever your reasons are now.
This is basically a joke thread now and no one is taking you seriously. We have forum rules too. Threads like this get locked all the time
Not a troll I'm genuinely new to the car modification world and was asking a genuine question. My question has been answered and I thank those who took the time to explain to me what and what not to do. Not a very friendly forum is it..I can't believe how you guys are being led around by this troll. Sorry
I see a snotty nosed youtuber, social media worshiping troll who isn't being told what he wants to hear but sure knows how to keep a thread going for count purposes only.
Let him be, and I agree with Mongler - Admin why isn't this thread locked?
And CF please go ahead and do what you want. It will make such a better car and you a legend in your own mind. Just remember this thread.

Which is exactly why I won't be doing it! I had no idea that the stock turbo was too small anyways that the noise increase would be negligible. I also couldn't find much on whether or not K&N filters were going to destroy my engine with their oil. I did maintain my wish for noise and now I know that getting rid of the airbox will only cause more problems and I'm better off to get a new exhaust system or larger turbo.It is friendly enough but you asked a question without searching first and then maintained your wish for noise when told it isn't a good idea to do what you suggested. Noise is pollution too! By destroying the stock airbox and filter you will get nothing other than problems. Not even the turbo noise you want which is very minimal at best even without anything in the way. As said before this has been asked and answered many times over here.
Na. Admins just like to see us feed the troll so we can get warnings to make admins feel big!I can't believe how you guys are being led around by this troll. 44 replies, my gosh. should have died at 3. Sorry can't help it.

Maybe you should reflect where you are. It's the internet. For the most part we are very welcoming and friendly here. We all told you exactly what you asked for then you swapped positions from asking to insisting and if you cant laughter at some harmless fun, then grow some internet skin please. Go try this at vwvortex or facebook. Results will not be as nice.How polite and welcoming for a newbie to vehicle modification.. thanks for the warm welcome.
I'm going to side with you, as I see that you asked an honest question that has been debated back and forth on many forums. He wasn't being a jerk about it, unlike @Mongler98 and he wasn't trying to break the law. He wasn't even asking how to delete his dpf and EGR, instead he was asking about a perfectly legal, though not good for the vehicle modification (legal unless you're in California, and maybe select other areas)How polite and welcoming for a newbie to vehicle modification.. thanks for the warm welcome.
Thank you Bob. And thank you Mozambiquer.Yea, it's social media, gotta put on the thick skin. Don't get discouraged, most folks are just trying to help.
Conventional Wisdom (the rare one that's true)- Don't use an oiled filter on any car with a MAF.
