MK5 Golf R32 induction kit

[dunc_84]

was wondering if anyone could recommend which induction kit to get for the mk5 R32 or if its best just to leave it as standard?

I've been wondering about that. My only problem is that I think the DSG would just explode.

[dunc_84]

mine is a manual so dont have that worry. does the DSG struggle with the standard power?

Shouldn't worry too much... It won't make any difference to the power

K&N 57i and Pipercross Viper are both good, and sensibly priced.

But make sure you sort out the cold air feed or you'll end up with baaad heatsoak.

Saw an Edition 30 Golf DSG a couple of weeks ago that had been running Revo stage 2 for 60,000 miles problem free...

there are lots of DSG cars putting out big figures. you could probably get away with a supercharger on an R32 DSG

mines running stage 2+ about 350bhp and fine. another ED30 owned by jonny cocker the racing driver was running 450bhp on DSG with no problems. 500lbft is about the max torque but you would need to change the oil more regularly than the normal 40k service. if you can afford to put upgraded plates the world is your lobster!

its been found the DSG is considerably stronger than the manual transmission in the golfs, most of the manual ED30's that have been mapped need an uprated clutch.
