Intake waste of money?

You'll definitely benefit the extra top end on your track days. Day to day, all you could hope for was no adverse effects at low to mid rpm, and it seems good in that respect. I wonder how much these closed ITG intakes cost before VWR got their hands on them!
As for the pulley, that's beyond my knowledge, but fingers crossed for you it doesn't cause any issues.

Thanks AJP! I still need to check my long term fuel trims to see if they change to a lean combustion... My tuner says that the MAF now won't read all the air that goes through the intake due to the different intake pipe cross section. He has tested plenty of aftermarkets intakes and has made a K04 reach 385 CV (with race fuel and more boost) with the factory airbox so he doesn't believe in CAI. :thinking:

The OEM MAF pipe is oval if I remember correctly? I'm sure I've read a thread where @Dan_FR discussed experimenting with the pipe. It made interesting reading.
Hopefully the LTFTs are within range.

A lot of people say they are worth buying whilst a lot of people also say that they just suck in warm air from the engine bay and can mess with MAF. I also read that it does not matter how much air you suck in as it still has to go through the throttle body.
Every time I read up on intakes my mind gets changed from buying one to not buying one!
If you do have one which type do you guys have? the EVOMS intake seems a poplular choice.
I have a edition 30 at stage 1.

I have an EVOMS and I like it just for the noise. The 4pot's noise is a bit sh*t coming from an R32.
spwd:
Can I just ask what they are supposed to sound like, put my twintake on and can hear it wheezing low down but nothing higher up?

I just installed my VWR on my K03. Im stage 2 as well.
I reckon there's a substantial difference over stock intake, engine feels a lot more responsive and is linear towards the redline.
Only thing I have is that annoying goose honk. I need to get myself a DV+ to fix it.
