Get a Revo, EVOMS, ITG, VWR. Revo should give the best output.

I've got the RamAir Oversized K04 intake, it's fantastic in terms of performance and feel, looks amazing and costs a lot less than the competition.

ITG or VWR (same as ITG but VWR branded) closed conical intakes.

Good but will be loud like any open cone filter. The only good enclosed cone filter is made by ITG (sold as ITG or VWR).

AFAIK you can reach the same output with the ITG/VWR. :wink:

I've used both the EVOMS and the VW Racing intakes, I'd go for the EVOMS over the VW Racing one personally. But the RamAir oversized one is better still, opened up more low end torque than the VW Racing intake had, but that could vary depending on how you have your engine mapped.

If want to make good power stay clear of the Forge one. I've got a Evoms on mine and the induction noise is more noticeable, especially when the recirc valve opens but it doesn't sound too chavvy. If I was buying again now either Revo or Evoms would be where my money would go.

They are restrictive on K04 turbo cars. Go with Revo or EVOMS (Revo is quieter)
