Air intake

[TryDIY]

Hey guys,

I will begin with the fact i might be in the wrong part of the forum so if i am just let me know and i will move the thread!!

I have a VW Golf MK5 to be honest a great all round car, very fast pull off, great handling and you are rolling in style. I have had it lowered with 17" Deep dish rims added on, twin exhaust, i have removed the back seats and tinted the back windows jet black. So to be honest it looks the beastly i also added a K&N air filter so you can here it sucking in the air (:cool:)

Being as i am a beginner on mechanics and all the work that has been done to my car was in a garage and not by me. Is the K&N air filter forced induction? after searching Forced induction for sale (http://www.for-sale.co.uk/carbon-fibre-air-filter) that has not come up with a great deal ?? and I have started looking into forced induction system but still don't know what i am looking at

I know that sounds a bit mad but it is the best way i can explain it.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

"Is the K&N air filter the forced induction??"
No, forced induction means the engine is fed with pressurised air by an air pump. That pump would be a supercharger or a turbocharger.
Forced induction is characterised by pressures in the inlet of the engine above atmospheric pressure.

it makes you car sound and go like this:
