It was posted to my mate Last night should be with him in around 5-7 days and with me around 10-15 days later, so I make that around 2nd or 3rd May?
Could be quicker, could be longer, depends on customs usually (have had items arrive in customs in 2 days from USA to sit in customs for 7 days before leaving, annoying but true!)

Hopefully It will arrive the day after I have all the funds for TBE and remap so I dont have to sit on it for a while. :happy2:

Quick update for you all, my mate in USA received the Volant intake system today  :happy2: (Quick turnaround from the supplier!).

He is hopefully shipping it Tomorrow morning or Monday morning  :jumpmove:

***EDIT*** It was shipped to me today (14th April) so should hopefully be with me in next 5-8 days.  :jumpmove:

Also took 5 mins to order the Revotec 25mm self sealing take off (For K04 Turbo) from Demon Tweeks for £23.76 posted so that should arrive before the Intake, going to speak to Nige at BCS and see if I can get booked in for TBE Valvetech system for Saturday 5th May while Im up there visiting friends and family, then get the Volant fitted by local garage and get myself booked in for stage 2 remap (still yet to decide if R-Tech, Jabba or Shark)  :surprised:

I dropped the Intake Pipe off at Jabbasport, they are going to attach the K04 take off for me, I am booked in next thursday (10th) to have it fitted along with Cam follower replacement and stage 2 re-map.

Will update how it goes.

just out of interest why don't you fit the intake yourself and save a bit of money? they're really not hard if you've got a spare half hour or so  :happy2:

Mine is K04 like Donovan said, not K03 direct fitment, so they are adding the 25mm take off, plus I dont know how to get the engine cover off let alone fit an Intake system :ashamed: , I am a firm believer in getting someone who knows how to do a job to do it, rather than me butcher it  :drinking:

Bought not built  :signLOL:

lots of stuff..... concluding with:" (still yet to decide if R-Tech, Jabba or Shark)  :surprised:"

In case you're not aware of the discussions elsewhere on the board, beware of DSG issues (dwell post gearchange being my issue) with some companies. I've not seen any comments relating to Jabba in this regard so I'd imagine with their experience there won't be an issue, but worth checking. :smiley:

Here's one thread I'm aware of:

....It's a very big board. Any clues which section of the site such discussions are, please?
