Intake waste of money?

Stock or Stage 1 I will be keeping the Standard Air Box, If I ever decided to go any further with the tuning I would look at my options then.

The MAF scaling is spot on so no loss of torque and it takes cold air directly from the grill in the same place the Oem version did. In terms of performance, I can honestly say (at stage 2+) it made a big difference (bigger than expected), def noticeable pulls much harder, more torque and power. 100% worth doing. Noise wise the VWR isn't much louder than stock which is what I wanted. Can't comment about stage 1, I ran the standard intake with panel filer all the way to stage 2+. But based on my experience it made a massive difference.

What sort of power is your edition 30 at now then ? I've been thinking about stage 2 once I've got everything I need but then again I'm pretty happy with 300hp!

I'm running Revo stage 2+, not been on the dyno but reckon around 350-360, but it's the torque that really thumps. I'm going to RTech soon to get a fully custom map and really optimise everything for the setup I have.

I have the Wide mouth Evoms, can't say it does much but sounds great :happy2:

I've just installed the RamAir oversized induction kit on my standard GTI yesterday.
Does it go any faster? my bum dyno thinks so (but probably not in reality).
Does it make a nice noise? YEP!.
Does it make me smile more than when i drove it on a standard airbox? HELL YEP.
For me thats enough till i actually get an exhaust and go to stage 1/2 :happy2:
