Volant Intake System for TFSI

[danishmkvgti]

Here's a picture from a german ED30, the entire tube



On a german ED30 K04 the DV is located just above the turbo on the inlet.



This is the soundgenerator which is located where your steering coloumn is

Ohhh i see.

GTI noise 

It's the story of some german vw technicians taking part in the munich beerfestival, and on the third day they proclaimed " wir sollen eine GTI sound lautsprecher haben, SERVUS"

WTF??

I'd be interested in group buy!

+1, depending on price.

@ Donovan - are these available for the Tsi?

[yetidom]

   I love that induction kit...  Could potentially be interested depending on prices too.

+2 makes a difference to seeing an ITG or twintake, like the look if it myself, depending on price and assuming it fits my K04 Ed30 I would take one!.

They are also on ebay for $266USD (about £172 inc free USA shipping, handy if you have a mate over there to forward it on to you!)

How does this intake cope with movement of the engine relative to the shrouding behind the nearside headlight?

It appears rigidly mounted to the head at the gearbox end, so movement has to be absorbed by the pipe between there and the shrouding?

Been looking at the various intakes myself and do like the look of this one. Would be interested in a GB too depending on final pricing.

At around £170 they seem to be priced well, add to that shipping and VAT its likely around £240?.

At present i dont believe there is a version for ko4 but i think this could change if there was enough interest and im sure they could knock somthing up. Also from what i can see nothing for the TSI yet.

As for the one on ebay that is the gen 1 kit with gen 2 not being available intill april. This is why i havent already bought one as i am waiting for the gen 2 which should produce beter results in terms of power and torque.

For engine movment question to answer this is simple "I dont have a clue"

How ever if people want to leave me some questions to ask i can copy them all and email the guy who makes them and see what he say's.

£170?????? $390 is about £240 mate, then you got import tax and delivery

Err not if you buy from here its not

That equates to £168.30 and its cheaper if you buy direct, a quick 5 min search on google saw one for $262USD free shipping in USA (shipped to a mate he forwards it on) this cuts out the common "handling charges" and shipping profiteering from US companies (quite common to pay $50 shipping to see a $29 label stuck to box!!, thats one hell of a charge for writing 4 words on a customs label  )

Import tax there is none, only VAT to pay plus any parcelforce charges that may occur (£8.50 or £13.50), sometimes better to ship UPS or fedex as they dont charge that fee (or they did not up until 3 weeks back when I last got a package from USA and paid customs on it!).
Also another tip is to have it shipped in a pre-paid box (which does not state shipping price on it) this way you dont get charged VAT on the postage cost as well, as UK gove charge VAT on both declared value and then add postage cost before calculating VAT,  robbers (You still pay VAT on the declared item value whatever that may be!)  

If a shop is selling retail at $262USD there are discounts to be had for multi-buys direct from manufacturer, they may even do better deals to have their product on show in UK (Expanding markets and all that!)
