Does the metal frame that supports the pipe and filter fit to a Volkswagen GTI 2006? With frame, I don't mean the frame installed, I mean the picture right here. Since I think that the hole on this frame is too far apart from the end while the plastic stick which is supposed to be linked to this hole is right next to the battery box. Please, I need an answer from a GTI 2006 owner who bought the frame just like in the picture (the smaller one, and not the bigger one that is installed in a car).

I have a 08 gti and as far as i know there isnt a difference in the motor space. It fits in mine well, i made a box for mine and works and sounds great.

? don't know on 2006. It fit my 2007, but I needed to bend one corner of the "air box" slightly so sharp edge would not rub on a hose. You can hear much more engine noise with the system installed.

Yes it does, perfectly. The only thing I would suggest - shorten the pipe on the intake side and replace it with longer silicone hose, otherwise the pipe consumes too much heat from the turbine body...

First, my car is Mk v 2006golf gti TFSI engineand really fit correctly.the filter will be located in front of bettery and you should take off your stock intake system and engine cover. This kit's direction will describe correctly and you will understand;) If you want my car installed picture please let me know with my email. Kamsoon7@gmail.com

It'll fit, but more than likely just like on my GTI, it doesn't fit exactly flush! It's just a little bit off! I don't know if it has to do with the fact that it's a EURO after-market part but I would recommend buying PlastiDip and just removing the original emblem and dipping it. Good luck to you!

Hey Katherine,You should ask the company directly for the best answer. I don't understand how you could have 2 "tubes" (round bars?) on top of your car and remove one for this car top carrier? In-any-case, the mounting hardware that came with my cargo carrier is generic and would accomodate two round pipes or bars. You could easily buy other hardware ("U" clamps) for an even tidier assembly. I like my SportRack vert much. I use straps to provide addition security. I don't even notice it's on top of my car and it does not effect my gas mileage.

Check the sizes at volkswagen.com to confirm the spec that im giving you... According to the Mk6 wheel specs, they seem to fit. Check that the Wheel Hub BOLT PATTERN on your Mk6 is 5x112mm (5 bolts x 112mm bolt 'circumference' placement). Also, you'll need hub rings or hubcentric rings (ring size: 57.1mm to 72.6mm) If the wheel specs are correct, then the Mk6 wheel hub has a Center Bore of 57.1 mm. The wheels have a Center Bore size of 72.6. To make the wheels hub-centric (as apposed to bolt-centeic) and avoid vibration, then you'll need hub rings to close the space/gap.I hope this helps.

I have the same car and had to modify the pipe with the bend in order to get it to fit because it's too long. If you have a skill saw, hand held saw something that will cut through the tube just mark a bit before the bend and cut. (Measure inside engine bay before cutting) once modified it works fine. hope this helps.

I don't know about VW. My crossbars are positioned 29" apart to accept the mounts. I have it mounted on a 2007 Mercedes GL450. Perhaps you can spot one in a nearby parking lot and compare the roof rack to your VW.

The stand is for a chevy motor. I had to make brackets that would fit to the stand frame in order to mount a ford motor. I went to Lowes for plate & metal tubing. You will need to look at the motor mounts on your VW and see if you can make the adjustments you need to fit the stand. You also need to inquire about the measurements on the stand to make sure the VW motor is not wider than the stand frame. If I recall the VW is a side mount.Hope this helps.

I tried it on Suzuki Grand Vitara with a hard cover. On the GV, there is a back piece behind the spare tyre and a front piece that clamps onto the back piece. The back piece forms around the tyre, including curving forward slightly, maybe just an inch and a bit. Unfortunately, this prevented the rack from being mounted on the tyre. I suspect I would have to remove the front and back of the cover to try to make it fit. I did not want to remove the entire cover each time I wanted to put on the rack so I use it on the Jimny instead. I personally prefer the fit on the Jimny's 15" tyres since the rack rests on the rubber tyre rather than the rim. I tried it on Suzuki Grand Vitara with a hard cover.

I have a 2008 STI, but it should be the same car 2008-2011. It came with everything needed, which was essentially a screen/filter and a couple of rubber O-rings. It may have required adding an O-ring or two from the stock pump as well, but I can't remember for sure. Other than that it was a plug and play swap (though some of the parts of the stock pump assembly are tricky to disassemble).

My son bought this and fitted it in his Golf GTI so I can't help answer your question. I can, however, tell you that he is VERY happy with this purchase and the item is fantastic quality that works perfectly!

When I took mine to the dealership they told me that this is not compatible with any device, I suggest that you bring it to your local dealership and ask about yours or if you are unsure do not purchase one. My VW is 2002.

Technically anything that modifies your cars engine could potentially void the warranty, but just keep the stock intake air box and if you have any problems put it back to stock before taking it to the dealer for repairs. I actually just did that this weekend because my Passat has the dreaded cam follower issue that's covered under VW extended warranty, I put my stock intake back on and towed it up there, they didn't say anything and are covering the cost of the repairs. Good luck!

Yes, but in order to fit nicely you need a plastic filler ring bc. the axle of your gti is smaller than the hole in the rim... not sure what the measurements of it are..

I have a vw golf and it fit perfectly I just had to return it since it ripped on me and one of the clips broke. It's very unfortunate, I liked it that it covered the whole back seat. Suggest to look for something more better. Best of luck!

Good morning! You will indeed need to add water. Volkswagen recommends a 50/50 split. I hope that helps! Thanks for your question!!

I recommend calling cravenspeed directly and asking them. They really don't care if you buy it from them directly or thru Amazon. Buying direct will add cost due to shipping. Go to Cravenspeed.com for contact info. The one on Amazon did not fit my vw sportwagen so I ordered direct. I liked not having to drill holes in my bumper cover.
