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!

I like the look of the Volant! Some thought went into that.
I bet there's not even 5hp peak difference between any of the aftermarket intakes. VWR claim 25hp and 500rpm reduction in lag, but I've not seen any data to verify that.

For what my car made from changing the panel filter to the closed cone intake I can see a 20 BHP of difference. My engine's output is now limited by the octane grade of the fuel. With higher octane fuel it would make near 370 BHP and with race fuel it would be easier to make 380.
With the remap my K04 peaks at 2500 rpm with the closed cone filter, while before the remap it only peaked at 3000 rpm. With the panel filter and the remap my turbo peaked at around 2600 rpm, so there's a difference but very subtle.

I bought it direct from the US in 2013 for about £190 delivered. Sold it to lad in Ireland for £155 sometime later :happy2:

Not bad at all :happy2:
Do you 'feel' the power and reduced spool time on your bum dyno?
