cyclone intake mani

[ktyr5151]

so i have a 91 tsi fwd and a friend gave me a cyclone intake mani and ive read up on them and alot of people have a bunch of different views on them. well i guess what i would like to know is would it be worth setting it up in my car the correct way or just selling it to make a couple extra bucks? and if it is worth it what would i have to do to make it work properly the way it should? any input would be appreciated. thanks

Sell it

Would be easier to sell it. In order for it to properly work, you need an original matching ecu and solenoid for the switchable runners to operate correctly unless you devise a way to trigger the runner solenoid off some other sort of signal.

Refer to post 9 for all the links you will need for it.

yeah thats what i was thinking. it would probably cost me more money to get to work properly than it will benefit me. just out of curiosity, how much do you think i could get for it?

There is a way to use a wastegate actuator (t-25 I think).

The only other feesable way is DSMLink, and use either the egr solenoid, or fuel pressure solenoid. You would still need a 1 way vaccume canister.

The gains from the Cyclone are minimal. Your better off getting a SMIM and selling this one.

there are a few post about the cyclone
a few of them have ways to run these with a few add on mods
I would like to run one myself just because its something different
I might fiddle with mine sometime in the fall and write up something about making them work

but if your looking to push some power then you want to go with a SMIM like others will suggest
