When I was up at BCS I asked Nige/Dave if they planned on selling the BCS Intake (Which was a shame as I did not want Twintake or ITG on my car) and they told me there were no plans to make it currently, unless thats changed?.

Volant or A.W.E. are other options (The BCS system is similar to A.W.E. system)

Production has been pushed back to June now. Although gen 1 kits are available to buy now and only difference I know of is the filter type used.

We could however see about the gen 1 kits(pictured)

....Any particular reason apart perhaps from cost? Sound?

id be interested in a gen one if thr price was right, if its only the filter then its easily upgradable surely? (just swap the gen 1 filter for the gen 2)

Hey RR, cost sound and the fact that everyone else has ITG or Twintake mate (bit like everyone either having Revo or APR, im going with a different tuner, and everyone seems to have Milltek so im getting BCS) I want to be different (Wolf Not Sheep  ) and also closed box designs (in my opinion) look more OE than a big pipe and filter and are likely to be a bit quieter too

As above, if it's just a filter change from 1 to 2 then count me in too for a Gen 1 setup.

Would be interested in price on gen 1 intake and will add the 25mm adaptor myself (or pay someone to do it ).

....It's probably a good idea for you guys to double check that their Gen 2 filter will fit your Gen 1 kit or you'll be miffed (muffed? ) - Pissed off might be a better choice of words.

[Squeeguk]

Yep, will be waiting to hear back on the exact differences between 1 & 2. Either way, it's got to be better than stock.

....Hey!  

Yes, enclosed filter systems are slightly quieter than open filters.

I must say that this Volant looks like a nice system and not unlike the carbon one brought out in America for the Mk5 GTI a few years ago by the company (whose name I forget) who do intakes for BMW's - It cost over 700 squid though!! No-one told them that the GTI ain't a CSL!

Have you seen the A.W.E. intake, thats carbon and closed airbox design too.

Similar price to ITG (£340) if bought from UK supplier.

Having looked at both of them on the links, are they not exactly the same????  The intake pipes look identical

[Tamiyoman]

Dunno mate, they look similar with subtle differences.

Looking at the awe dyno graph of the awe kit v stock intake. There is very little difference in the graphs and they claim 8hp at the crank. To me that means its a lot of money for very little power and gain.
