VW Racing Cold Air Intake / ED30

The RRP's £456 inc.vat from VWR's site.

Fook me. 

That lettering must be in Platinum.

I believe they call it VWR tax.  Take a part built by someone else and add 40% .  They did it with enine mounts as well iirc

They also do it with the VWR panel filter, too....

Luckily the mounts are available from any vibratechnics dealer now.

x2.

But they must have lots of customers who don't mind paying the premium or else they wouldn't sell any!

I saw the actual kit in ITG when went there a month ago. A few interesting things that may justify the costs, they anodize the aluminium whereas ITG powder coat. This means it's a lot more expensive and it's harder to get a flawless finish, apparently quite a few have to be redone or throw away as VWR won't take anything less than perfect. So in a way it seems the higher cost might be more justified. I quite like this kit over the Maxogen as is a true cold air intake that is pretty well protected from heat soak. Still a pricey bit of kit compared to the £180 Neuspeed one

"Looks like a good kit.  How does the little rubber strap mount?"

Cheers VrsAlex, yeah the strap is mounted to area at the bottom of the battery box, there's a screw thread just on the corner and the kit fits directly onto that mount.

....The photos of it posted in the original post have either been moved or deleted. As this is a review surely they need re-posting, otherwise no-one can see what the product looks like.

Cheers Robin, absolutely no idea why they've gone. I'll get them back on here as soon as I can.
