Volant Intake System for TFSI

[MC71]

^^^^ Was that all it cost? Shame I can't get down to the RR day, would have liked a noisy at your system, next time.

Yes for the Intake inc shipping was £198 add another £23 for K04 take off adaptor and thats the total cost to me (£221)  

If you are chasing massive BHP figures you might be better off going the obvious "Proven" routes (ITG/FORGE) but if you prefer OEM look and are not bothered about it having "Proven big bhp numbers" and fancy having £240 extra in your back pocket instead its certainly an option  

Will be interesting to see what (If anything) people think/say about it at JKM

I would like to have a good look at this at JKM

Excellent stuff, cheers matey! 

Not bothered about big numbers, not bothered about numbers at all. System sounds (without hearing it) just what I'm after. Had an ITG, bit much for me, living with Darth Vadar on a daily basis, looking for something a little more OEM+

Will be interested to see what JKM make of your CAI. Lets us know what they and others say.

No worries, just look out for a White 5 Dr Candy ED30 (08 plate), come over say hello and have a look!

It's one of the many reasons I went for it  , Forge a Bit too Bling for me (and pricey) and ITG just looked cheap to me (Altho V. pricey), prefer OEM looking myself.

I shall be at the JKM RR day on 27th so those who want to see it can do, perhaps JKM could log it while its on the RR?, maybe its possible?.

....I'm looking forward to seeing and hearing it 

Ask Jim about logging when you arrive but you may find he says he would prefer to log it while on the road, in which case you wouldn't get your opportunity on the Dyno-Day. But I may be wrong so ask him.

It's worth an ask, if he wants to log it on the road It prob won't happen as I am there to meet folks, look at some cars and get the RR sesh, will have to see.........

....Only Jim or Kate can give you the definitive answer but normally he would not have time on a Dyno-Day to take your car out on the road and log it (assuming he thinks that's the best way) even if you have the time. It also raises the problem that if he spends time on a Dyno-Day doing extra things for one person, he is going to feel obliged to do the same for others and there simply isn't enough time. But, as I say, ask Jim when you arrive - I'm only suggesting what I think the scenario will be. Or email JKM to ask beforehand if you wish.

Will ask him on the day, it is others that want to know, not so much for me

i'm sure one of the attendees could bring VCDS and could do it independantly from JKM. We could even compare air flow against one of the other systems 

[Tamiyoman]

By all means, I have no issue with that 

[RedRobin]

I really like that.  Looks very OEM, no doubt its nice and quiet, it incorporates two cold air feeds: slam panel and headlight, also like the tapered pipe design.

What's the filter size?  I'm guessing from the diameter of the pipe entering the box, its a monster

....Are we sure it also takes air in from the headlight area? Excellent if it does 

[Trowbridge]

Believe it does looking at this pic:

if you look at photos of the intake off the car the headlight side is all open too, yeah
