Induction Kit 2006 C70 T5???

LeBon · Apr 15th, 2010, 13:17

new T5 owner here

already lowered it but also want to install an induction kit to give the car a bit more edge, but can't find any listed

will the K&N Typhoon for the S40/V50/C30 T5's fit my car or are the engines slightly different?

any help greatly appreciated

I fitted a K&N panel filter to mine which has helped, alot better pickup now, although an open induction kit (one without the standard airbox) sounds alot better !

i know i can swap the panel filter but would prefer something to beef up the noise a little as well as provide better breathing

the s40/v50/c30 T5 engines look exactly the same so my question is should this fit in the C70 T5 06on as well?

this american website seems to think so, have asked K&N direct but awaiting a reply

are they the same engine?

if you can't get an off the shelf cone simlpy measure the size of the collar on the MAF sensor & get a universal one to fit that size

i've considered this but the factory box & ECU takes up a lot of space and would need ripped out to allow room for a universal cone

would then need to fabricate a heat shield and re-attach the ECU which is a lot of hassle hence the need for an off-the-shelf

That's what the "off the shelf" version for the T4 entails, almost - the original airbox has to come out. It is worth it though!

If you do get something and require ducting, I've got a spare length from an S40 kit (unused) that you are welcome to.

Cheers

Pointless waste of money. Likely to reduce performance if you're not careful.

BSR Optiflow FTW!!!

However... won't make you go any faster
