Just saying :smiley:

Exactly..... it's what I was saying further back. It was designed in a hurry to get it out to market as quickly as possible to maximize profit. There are only so many MK5s they can sell this kit for, so the quicker they get them out of the door before people notice the flaws, the better.
Racingline constantly bang on about their methodical, extensive R&D and OEM quality approach to their products..... but the reality is they just rebadge existing products. Like my street dampers for example, they started life orange and RL sprayed them black. And with this air filter, they took ITG's kit made for racing (hence no real concern about fouling other parts) and just anodized the canister and pretty much changed nothing else....and added a massive tax to it. Their "R&D" clearly missed the fact it snaps off the coolant feed to the turbo.....so not important then, really :stupid:
Sorry, not trying to offend any VWR owners...... this kind of thing just really bugs me because I can't believe such stupidity exists when £450 is changing hands.

yea pudding I did rear that earlier in the post and thats exactly why people shouldn't buy them imho, why fund the greedy blood suckers when they can't be asked to resolve the issues customers are having and rectify the flaw as they'll still profit from these ugly boxes :sick: yes I don't like anything boxed but by personal choice :happy2:

As much as I don't like open cones, the Revo does at least fit in the engine properly, providing you don't have xenons!
The VWR is a good intake for performance and refinement, but I'm not paying them £450 to bug fix the product for them! They should be paying us to do that.

revo? :thinking: would have fitted mine but the pipe was way too large for my liking as it's too close to everything leaving no gaps and the filter doesn't fit nice imho. I'm happy with the ramair 70mm :love:

The best OEM looking CAI imo was the Volant from the US, had it for a while :happy2:

Best looking indeed but not the best performance wise. :wink:

I concur; but it was quite quiet for those wanting that sort of thing... there were some wooshes etc but not Spencer Wilding in the Glovebox and it DID make more power top end with a tune...
Tbh with the snapped sensor on the HPFP I have at the moment due to the OEM Airbox,........ I wished I'd kept the Volant!
