There were no before and after runs on just intake as 5 days previously I had TBE fitted so It would not have been accurate anyway.
I had a window for exhaust and it was before intake im afraid.

does it 'feel' any different?

Straight after the intake was fitted it had RR run and made 243.6bhp and then was stage 2 remapped so now it has 315.6bhp and feels VERY different.
I never drove it with just intake and exhaust im afraid.

There were no before and after runs on just intake as 5 days previously I had TBE fitted so It would not have been accurate anyway, as I (personally) was not looking for large figures I was not overly concerned with what it gives on its own as I was always adding other mods with it, so as long as it performed on the whole was all I was bothered about, that coupled with I dont like the look of the ITG (Blue Peter toilet roll and Grannies Clunge sponge stuck on the end is my best desciption of it) and the Twintake was a little too "Bling" for my car (I wanted something more OEM looking) and the VWR (ITG with 50% price increase) was even in the running as the price is scandalous at £456 :surprised:

Jabba confirmed it flowed well and their were no issues with the car not getting enough air.

....You've got this same discussion going on in two threads.
Shame on Jabba for not being more interested in the bhp gains and not running before and after dyno runs (as JKM did with my Forge TWINtake in spite of already having such data from other 2.0T FSI cars). The TBE would have been a constant in the comparison. It's the GAIN which folks are interested in and not just the number after all your mods.

....No, but Jabba could have easily dyno'd it for the intake comparison. Even if you weren't interested, weren't they? :surprised:
Tamiyoman:
At the end of the day he checked the flow rates and said its flowing more than enough, as long as it was not holding back other mods it is all good, he did say that he "expected" my car to make 310bhp with TBE and Intake on their rollers and it went onto make 315.6bhp so he was surprised, that could be intake or TBE tho, who knows.
And yes it would be easier for me if I replied in only one thread (or got asked about it in one thread only :wink:)

I'm afraid that you got asked about it because it's what most folks want to know. But as I posted in the other thread, I don't blame you but I'm not impressed with Jabba's apparent lack of interest in the specific data for this new Volant product.
