Volant Intake System for TFSI

@ monte:
Best one of those I've seen! :drinking:

No pictures it it being fitted as I was too busy watching how easy it was, it took them around 30 minutes to remove engine cover and install intake system (They had already added the 25mm Take off for K04 engines, which I am told took them around 15 mins), I missed most of installation due to chatting to Jabbaluke about his ED30 (Beast at 400hp), was finding out what he did and best way to progress my car, anyhoo I digress.
Pic of it fitted.
Asked them how it performed and they were impressed with it and said quite a few of their customers were waiting for them to fit mine so they could report back to them, from what he said we may start to see more of these cropping up on TFSI cars soon.
There were no issues with MAF scaling, looks like it's well designed, one thing I did notice was the Intake in the pics earlier in the thread showed a mounting point which may cause issues with engine movement but as mine did not have that (series 1 as opposed to series 2 I guess) it was not an issue, the Box part is moiunted utilizing 2 of the rubber bungs from your engine cover and this allows the box to move with the engine so no stress issues.
ON full throttle you dont notice the sound of it as the exhaust masks it :grin: but on partial throttle you do get a little bit of a sucking noise (How do you word that?) and when backing off you can hear a slight hiss, but thats at lower speeds with no radio on, radio on you dont hear it or at higher speeds either.
Enjoy should you go for it, I would recommend it, for around £200 (Add £23 for 25mm take off for those with K04) you can have something that does the same as intakes costing £350-465 :happy2:

Ok guys, thanks to the guinea pig for having the balls to get one in and having it fitted. Thanks Tamiyoman for the feedback.
Time for that group buy to move ahead now. I been waiting for that, but if it doesn't go ahead I am getting one of these regardless.

Where can u get this intake from??

.
Did you do any dyno runs before and after the intake to compare and assess the bhp gain?
The Volant ticks the boxes for sound and eye-candy for many folks but what about performance gains?
