here is the instructions for a 1.8TD induction kit, shows all you need to do is remove the airbox, buy a standard induction filter cone (correct MAF diameter), make a small bracket (meccano style lol), and get some duct to use as a cold air feed.

and this is the instructions for 2.0 TDDi and TDCi 2000-2002 models:

and for 2003 onwards:

on these 2.0 diesel engines, you could get someone like wootty to make you up a steel pipe bend (you would need to measure your MAF diameter and the hole to cut in the pipe for the MAF) and then just buy yourself a cone filter and cold air feed pipe, and make a simple bracket.

all these K&N induction kits are about £90 from filter power, and you can just buy a normal cone for about £30 and whack it on the TD, on the TDCi it would cost a bit more to get the pipe bend made up.

i just measured on the 1.8TD the external diameter of the cone filter where it goes onto the maf is 95mm. the one i got was slightly smaller diameter but it stretched to go on, its a BK racing cone.



heres how mine goes on the 1.8TD and i have since put a pipercross cold air feed extension pipe from the standard ford cold air feed from the inner wing (not yet pictured but i will soon) and i run another cold air feed from the lower bumper grill, up above gearbox, behind battery and fasten under the cone:







on the 2.0TDCi and TDDi i had another thought, maybe the pipe extension you would need (like the one K&N make), you could use a samco hose bend from demon tweeks, and maybe cut a hole in it to stick the MAF in (and seal it with silicon), and hold the whole maf onto the pipe with cable ties.

does this sort of mod make a big difference to the tddi engine?

[percybigun]

they work well on any car just so long as theres enough cold air getting to it.

[totalguy]

that mechano stuff is pretty handy you seem to use it in a few places

yeah your right the induction wont make much difference on its own (apart from on the 1.8TD it made it alot sharper off the mark) but coupled to turning your fuelling screws up on the 1.8TD (which costs nothing) it works very well indeed. and induction kit is always a good starting point for engine mods. not many people stop there, it leads onto performance exhaust and other stuff.

the induction would work well on a mk3 TDCi/TDDi which is chipped aswell.

on last post here you mentioned turning your fueling screws. what are these, have you any pics to show me. what does this do?

See the 'sticky' post in the diesel forum call something like "how to turn you turbo boost up."

about 80mm on the air filter side of the TD
