1g Intake

[Xero_Tolerance]

This may seem like a stupid question, but I just bought a 1g after previously owning a 2g and I'm not exactly sure if the intake is the same. I know the 2g doesn't fit on and I know the 2g has a different MAS sensor, but does the 1g have one at all? I haven't found very many places that sell 1g intake pipes so are they that important to replace? I'm just wondering if I should just get a k&n filter or try and find a pipe as well. Thanks.

Yea if its the non turbo you can get the intake from a lot of places, just depends on how much you wanna spend, i got an injen technology intake from sounddomain.com for around 170, its a very nice intake and worth the money, i dont think anything from the two cars would be interchangeable, but i could be wrong, later.

yes, 1g's have a mas. its kinda hidden in there with the intake cone.

aside from being terribly expensive, intake pipes have never really given much power. i just dont understand the fixation most dsm'rs have with replacing them. i believe the injen intake pipe on a 2g has shown to give +1hp and -1tq. im sure an intake pipe on a 1g would do about the same thing.

either way, the cone is a great thing to replace. i suggest you dont bother with the pipe, put a k/n cone on, and move on to mod elsewhere.

good luck and have fun with that 1g.

I'm still kind of confused, if I get an intake pipe and filter then where exactly would the mas be, I know it's inbetween the two in a second gen and I don't see how it could be any different in a first gen. Would it be worth it to get an intake with a second gen mas? Would there be any extra work I would have to do to get it to work on a 1g or would it work by just plugging it in? Thanks.

I disagee. I bought a 1g turbo intake pipe from dsmparts.com and noticed a world of diference in the performance! It also sounds alot cooler when the turbo spools.

If you buy a KaN air filter it just plops right in the intake box. You do have a 1g turbo, right?

I made my intake out of PVC piping on my 90 TSi, it works well, i used a K&N filter and i was able to remove the air-box bc the PVC piping is strong enough to hold the filter up

is there a way to take off the mass air flow sensor..?? ive unpluged it and car dosnt run right is there nething that i can replace it with??

i know that i need it ... do they make a different one that dosnt have the honey comb sensors?? because i want to put on a short ram air intake on

 

[cwbroncos]

I'm not sure if the Maf translator will work with your ecu or not since your nt but I'd say thats your best best as far as removing the honeycombs. Although I don't think you would need to get rid of it if you got a kit that was made for your car.

ok .. im just looking for a better sensor because the honey comb one restricts air flow .. not much but some ..
