ITG Maxogen Kit
 
As Title says. Looking for a Maxogen ITG kit for the ZS 180.

Might be easier to find hens teeth but if I don't ask!

good luck with it.

Thanks, I have tracked one down but no pipework and no bracket!

peterzs 28-10-23 11:07 AM

Not worth the effort with how much they want for this one. Will need either a new filter or filter will need filter cleaning too!

Go for BMC CDA and custom hoses. Mine’s been on 17 odd years, no different in performance to the ITG, been proven.

85-150. You can get the custom hose that fits the throttle body as this has been replicated from the ITG version.

Thanks for the Info. Will look into this. My only worry is how low the Air Inlet will be as I drive mine daily and the weather we have here

Well the ITG inlet sits higher inside the nsf wheel arch. My set up uses the nsf foglight aperture for cleaner colder air flow. You are right concerning the position in very wet weather. Driving through floods is not recommended as have heard stories of hydra-locking. I’ve never had issues where mine is situated even in a downpour.

My re-sited induction kit.

That works well with the battery re-location and the catch tank being there.

with all this rain keep it high.

Well I've found a second hand kit for £80! It was absolutely bloody filthy so ordered a brand new filter for it and it didn't come with the Silicone hose but that was available from DMGRS. Total cost £250 as also had to get some 102mm ducting. Still quite a saving on the brand new price. Thanks everyone for the help and advice.

Well done, result!

That's a decent end result - well done :)

peterzs 06-11-23 06:02 PM

Good result.
