Thanx for the welcome, and you would be right, if I hadn't installed a pipe from the hole you see on the left of the induction kit, to the front for some cool air. Sorry that I did't post some pics with the kit finished.

Im also intreseted in getting a replacement air filter or cold air kit for my 1.9 tdi. Am I correct in thinking that the BMC CDA kits are for track use only? Has anyone fitted one?

the stock air intake on your tdi is already a cold air kit! If you want to improve it, you might consider the ibiza cupra intake hose and a drop-in filter. A cold air intake like the BMC will not do much for the tdi.

Not many people make induction kits. Found it really hard to find one!! I know k & n make them but.... dont really want one of those.
I've been told to wait a while until they do make them. :cry:
