RacingLine TFSI intake kit for K03/K04
pudding:
Yeah I was going to experiment with a BMC CDA on the Revo pipe. You'll need one with a 90mm inlet though!
Another problem with the VWR is water ingress. Driving in heavy rain with the stock intake is fine as the water drops down into the engine bay away from the airbox inlet. Not so with the VWR. Everything that gets pulled in through the grille ends up in the filter canister. Snow, water, leaves etc etc. Yet another shoddy oversight.

When it rains the engine gets water injection to cool the air intake temperatures... :signLOL:

At the expense of a dead MAF :wink:

I was just joking. But yeah, shoddy design. :wink:

And finished off with a TTS engine cover. Much tidier than the ugly engine!
The other benefit of using this cover with aftermarket intakes is it's lined with foam, so absorbs a lot of the injector and fuel pump noise :smiley:
Fits perfectly, but you just need to trim a bit off this area for clearance.
Overall I am happy with it, now that I have got over the shoddiness. There are a few more refinements I want to make to bring it up to my standards, and I will update this thread accordingly :smiley:
