Volant Intake System for TFSI

[Tamiyoman]

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.

Ask him if they plan to do K04 version or if they supply a pipe to fit (are they not the same housing, only different blades, is aperture not same?)

I have had a response.

No plans for KO4 cars full stop from sounds of it! Although i reckon it would be to hard to adapt a kit for ko4.

The new 2.0TSi found in the new GTI is somthing there currently making and ETA is 8-12 weeks.

Also to answer the engine movment question there response is below
"We have sold 100's of intakes, tested on my personal car "2006 GTI" for over a year without any fitment or performance issues"

What are the chances of arranging a group buy and any idea what the costs would be?

[donovan2123]

Yes we could arrange a group buy. But it wouldnt be intill april-may time as this is when the newer generation 2 kit comes out which apparantly looks the same but flows much beter than gen 1.

They have told me to email them first week of april in regards to group buy or buying.

[donovan2123]

Gen 1 = 700cfm
Gen 2 = 825cfm

The only difference between gen 1 and 2 will be the filter. So what you see on first page is what you will get With the new gen 2 filter, if we get a group buy going next month.

Did you mean "Although i reckon it would NOT be to hard to adapt a kit for ko4?"

Or is there no way?. I though inlet pipes were same?, diameter fitting etc?, or am I wrong?


Anyone?

[donovan2123]

Well i dont have a ko4 so i am not 100% sure but i reckon a adaptor which adds a connection at the intake for you to put the rubber pipe would do the job.

I have seen these type of connectors before when trying to connect a boost guage to rubber, silicone or plastic which can not be tapped.

[Tamiyoman]

I was just wondering if the intake port (where rubber pipe attaches from turbo to the Volant) is same size on K03 as K04?

[donovan2123]

That i dont know. But im sure someone on here will no the answer.

Also need to check that the pipe diameter were the MAF is the correct size otherwise will cause problems.

I'm currently looking into an intake and have been for ages but haven't found one that works for me yet. If you do get one keep us all updated with a small review / dyno results etc.

Is this group buy going to happen? id be interested depending on price! (you could be checky and like someone mentioned expanding market and that the cars attend shows regularly and try and squeeze a little off  )

Any sort of update on this. It looks the shizzle.

[sub39h]

i'm interested too...

[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

....I like the look of that too - Not just the styling but that it takes air from both sources like the Forge Twintake does. The only advantage the Twintake would have is a much larger total filter surface area with its twin filters.

And where is that carbon engine cover available from!? 

Bigger n better pics?

Yes they are the only difference is the air pipe take off for the DV. Hence you can fit a K04 Twintake to a K03 and use the supplied bung to block the pipe off
