Which was a shame as I did not want Twintake or ITG on my car

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

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 :signLOL:) 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 :happy2:

....Hey! :happy2:
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.

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)

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.
56OctyVRS:
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.
