Can anyone advise,
I have MK V GTI with custom stage 2 remap, some S3 bits Autotek HPFP, Milteck full turboback and S3 intercooler. I was considering getting a CAI ITG but from research although very good product am hearing alot of negative regarding lumpier than usual idle and same driving at low speeds. Is it really worth it for a few exta HP.

Secondly the PCV valve is not the greatest bit of kit on the MK V and am wandering whether it is better to sort it out with an upgraded or revised one before it goes belly up.

I'd look at the BMC Carbon filter box for a good CAI kit.

Definitely upgrade the PCV valve.

Thanks for the advice,
i was due to go to Jabbasport in lincs, same company that carried all work as have requested an updated PCV valve but have had no guidance from them and starting to have doubts customer aftercare etc. Do you know of any really good forced induction specialists in East of England?
Am considering WVracing

Sorry that's not really my area. Awesome GTi in Manchester have a very good reputation with VAG tuning.

Stick with standard air box and paper filter for longevity, believe me the filter itself is the least restrictive part of the induction system and paper is better at filtering the air.

Most important for force induced intakes is to get them as short as possible. If you need more advise feel free to pm me.
