Thanks bud. Yeah it was on a KO3 GTi, hence had the blanking plate and wouldn’t have come with the additional connector. I’ll try Forge tomorrow and just hope they can sell me only that part as their website states they don’t sell components separately for this kit

Well it’s all fitted now. Took a bit of tweaking to line everything up, and the standard hand wounding is also apparent. Just need the DV extension pipe and then I can drive the car.

fwiw there is apparently a correct orientation for the filters for best airflow.
If the previous owner didn't use the preferred orientation then you should stick with his/her choice or else you risk sucking in filter embedded dust into the turbo.
Without traction power is nothing!

Thanks bud. Yes you’re correct as I downloaded the fitting instructions and it states just that

Hello mate!
Yeah it’s ok, as I said took some tweaking and pissballing about to get it to fit. Defo wouldn’t pay £460 for this, but £200 was acceptable and sold the other intake for £185 so cost me £15. Also managed to get the DV extension pipe from Forge and will be with me tomorrow, so can then fit and test it all out

Keep an eye on your LTFT as I bet itll approach the +20% mark

Poor fuel trims make the car lethargic when driving day to day.

I suspect he really meant LTFT (long term fuel trim).  :happy2:

Ah thanks!!
Well it’s all fitted as I got the DV extension pipe from Forge yesterday. Went out for a loooooong test drive and the car is much quieter with virtually no indication roar, and from a driving and power delivery felt exactly the same as it did with the Revo kit.
