I got my BMP PROMINI PERFORMANCE intake yesterday morning, and afer playing with a MKIII GTI on the LIE for about forty miles i came righte home and installed it,
WOOOOW
The S/C whine is so much louder and the throttle resoonse feels soooo much cripser, a very highly recomended intake

 

Make sure you remove the cowl plastic partition... youll hear it even more!

 

Yea I just posted a reccomendation on doing that for the K&N typhoon CAI. Makes a world of a difference

 

oooooo something to do 2day
or at the same time i put on the intercooler couplings i ordered from alta, how do i remove the plastic partition?

 

The BMP and K&N Typhoon intakes have been around for a long time and I've never heard of anyone with these intakes removing the partition between the engine bay and cowl area.

Some intakes like the Alta and RDR require removing the partition. Other intakes like the Madness and Mini Mania which have a heat shield that "seals" with the partition, can be enhanced by cutting a hole in the partition.

 

well i did notice that the hole in the partition was quite small
but it didnt occur to me to take it out, wouldnt that make it REALLY easy, compared to only moderatley easy for something to get in there?

 

A hole can make it too... but has to be a a big one... i decided to remove it cause the intake doesnt "seal" agains the partition anyways

 

a hole can make what exactly?
and yea i underatnd what ur saying about the partition not being flush with teh intake itself, i didnt like that at first

 

I ment, a bigger hole would let pass more air than the stock hole... but since the filter is really big, i just decided to remove the whole thing, no problems so far with that set up... now i can hear more the sweet S/C whine

 

hm, okay u convinced me, so how do i take off the partition?

 

couple of screws!



you can swap out the AFE for a bigger AMSOIL one too! More air and noise!!!

 

wow Mr.GBMiniGirl, that is a MASSIVE intake

 

Yep thats the promini with amsoil... MRGB has recommended to me that setup... according to him, that set up has giving him the highest gains.

 

Oh heres the how to, instead of drilling holes just dont put it back

 

Mr.GBMiniGirl, do you have the part number of that Amsoil filter. I too have the BMP intake, second and third (BMP STB) mods way back in Feb 03. Two days ago I started looking at the Amsoil nanofiber filters. Does yours fit properly? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

 

so yea i forgot to tell you all about some chip that came with my intake, i dont know what its for or what to do with it, but here are a few pics




it came in the bag in the last picture

 

 

 

An audio component... http://www.soundstage.com/wrkman02.htm

 

ooh... it controls your CAI noise distortion

 

whats that mean? if i plug it in then it will make more noise? or less?

 

I was just jocking.... they must had shipped it by mistake
Happy motoring

 

oh, thanks a lot

 

Very old school. What is that, like a 32k EEPROM or something? Maybe UV?
