FORGE induction kit for VW Up 1.0 GTI/TSI

Description

This FORGE induction kit for the VW Up 1.0 TSI and GTI has a bespoke aluminium housing. The housing is powder coated black and shields the filter from heat soak. The kit adds 5 bhp and 6 lb ft across the rev range and changes the engine sound. Mapped vehicles can see higher gains.

The FORGE silicone hose has a larger bore and a smooth inside for better flow. Pipercross makes the filter to FORGE specification. It is washable and reusable, made from layered multi-density foam, and designed and manufactured in Great Britain. A heat resistant wrap (5 m roll) can be added to the underside of the aluminium housing to reflect engine heat.

Installation

Fitting takes 20–30 minutes. No cutting or modification is needed, so the car can be returned to stock. The replacement foam filter is part number FMAF8 and the replacement pleated filter is FMFILPLE021.
