Polo Mk5 Homemade Induction Kit

Hi,

Here in Chile (Do you know where that is? :p ) are no induction kits made for the Polo (like K&N kits, BMC, etc), and it's very expensive to import one of those. So I decided to make my own induction kit.

First I went to a shop and they made for me a very short induction, which ended with the cone filter in the wrong place:

I had it like that for about a month, then i realized i could do it myself, i just needed pipes and a bigger cone filter. These are the results:

This way the cone filter is where the original intake was (that is the coldest spot imo). I know it isn't very pretty but it works so much better than before

Hope you like it, comments please

that's not bad actually! given me an idea as well, would'nt mind doing that to my car. suggest that you spray paint those pipes and you're on to a winner!

Yes, i think i will paint them!!

Also i was thinking of covering the tubes with insulation tape.

Thanks!

Note that the filter is behind the front light, so if i need real performance i can take the light out and have more (cold) airflow into the filter
