Air intake
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 () 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 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 Specs Year: 2008 Body: hatchback Doors: 5 Gear: 6 speed manual Drive: Front wheel Millage: 72,000 Example image below but it looks just like mine i don't know how to upload my own pictures just yet Thanks Last edited by TryDIY; 19-09-2016 at 04:33 AM.

Re: Air intake
"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: https://youtu.be/UhGhdv-r5c8?t=26s :-) |
