Best induction kit

I didn't lose any low rpm torque. The engine still reaches its peak torque at 2500 rpm. With an octane booster it made 335,5 BHP with the ITG panel filter (same as the VWR panel filter) and 355,5 BHP with the VWR CAI.

Likewise, with a Ramair on my k03 things don't feel any different at low revs. 4k on though, it gave more power.

I've just got the funny k03 resonance noises to deal with!

Aye.  I guess they wouldn't get much business if everyone was happy with a stage 1 map on standard hardware 

It's just frustrating for an old man like myself to watch people wasting their money, and getting smoking turbos / engines in return for their hard earned cash.

Can you go stage 2+ on a standard airbox on a k03 as I'd rather not waste my money either.

Absolutely you can, just ignore the 'tuner talk' telling you it won't deliver it's best.  I'd rather sacrifice a few hp at the top end in favour of a quiet life.

Dynos don't record part throttle, and nobody drives at 2500rpm at WOT, but I have heard the VWR doesn't affect the off boost torque according to the bum dyno, which is good because the KO4 is noticeably laggier than the KO3!

Well, the GFB DV+ must help a lot with that because I think the engine became a bit looser and the turbo faster to spool. It's the only time I hear the intake noise with the windows closed. It's a pretty quiet intake.

The GFB DV+ releasing air became a bit louder too with the VWR intake.

Hmmmm.....you are convincing me again!     I wonder if the part of the canister that hits the hose can be heated up and indented for clearance?  Is it proper carbon fibre, or fake stuff?

The VWR intake canister is made of aluminium. It's the Forge twintake and the CDA that are made of carbon fibre, right?

It can be bent, it's a soft material.

Thanks for the info !

EVOMS or REVO. End of.

Stay away from canister CAIs as they are sh*t for the all important flow plus trap all sorts of detritus making the already sh*t flow worse.

There is a great Mod section (top of the page inbetween Shop and Trending) on the forum with a really good Modification Catalouge in it, have a look there for inspiration.

Where's your evidence to back up that rather bold statement?

When was the last time you saw an F1 engine, or a supercar engine with a bit of pipe hanging off it with a plant pot shaped filter on the end? 

Revo must be laughing all the way to the bank.   £300 for a bit of a pipe with a cheap bit of foam on the end of it 

Oh most definitely.

Not sure about R&D, its a bit of pipe ffs lol

R&D isn't necessary when you only care about WOT and max rpm conditions 

Not even Racing line applied much diligence to their intake design.  None of them do, except APR.  The only company to include a rubber flex bellow to allow for engine movement, and they made sure it didn't rub on important coolant pipes, snapping them off.   The latter is absolutely ridiculous and inexcusable for £400.   Snap that hose off at 100mph, and that's your engine written off.   The Revo one also breaks off it's mounting lug through crap design.

And Oh look, the factory one lasts for years, does the best filtration job and supports over 330hp in KO4 applications. Yeah, I can see why people would prefer a noisy, cheap looking drain pipe over a properly engineered part 

Wish I knew this before. My VWR intake did exactly as stated to the coolant pipe ☹️

@Sleepy did on mine too mate - what did you do to rectify it or stop it from happening again?

Unfortunately I don't have mechanical skills so I had it towed to a garage. They then, replaced the pipe and modified the fitment to stop it from rubbing on the small rubber coolant pipe.
