In this FREE video which we gain nothing apart from helping other enthusiasts enjoy their Up! GTI, we show you how to replace the standard air filter on your VW Up! GTI with a performance version, in this case made by Coventry based company ITG.
We used a filter from ITG's Profilter range which is designed to replace the standard filter and fit within the normal airbox.
ITG don't promise any horsepower gains but they do suggest that torque might be increased and throttle response sharpened which is exactly what we found to be the case.
The difference won't be night and day so don't expect to necessarily feel a difference like you would with a remap but on our car, on that day, it was there.
We paid £91.20 which is a lot more than a standard air filter (£20) but it does an important job so you need to pay enough for a decent brand and with ITG's motorsport heritage, they are a brand I trust fully. They last 5 times longer than a standard filter which justifies the price.
I first came across ITG when I was told they made the filters for renowned Audi tuners MRC Tuning of Banbury which is as good a confirmation of their quality as you can get.
Also you will get a fair chunk of that money back if you sell your ITG filter on once you've sold the car so don't throw your old filter away!
Don't worry about the oil damaging your Mass Air Flow Sensor (MAF) - it's not like a normal oil, it's super sticky and not particularly oily.
