APR TFSI intake

[MC71]

@Keith
Great write up/response and sales pitch.  

You've definitely got me interested and thinking of the APR system now. At which point along the slippery slope of modding do you gain the best out of the APR system, ie as a stand alone mod or stage 1, stage 2 or stage 2+?

I would think it compares very well to the ITG as afterall that is what it is. 

 

Did you have a blow to the head while making sandcastles? 

I didn't say the top one only the bottom one which is only an ITG with a new name and a hefty price tag on.

Do you mean to say the APR Carbonio pictured is the same as an ITG?  If so, they do not share any parts, are designed and manufactured by completely different companies and the APR Carbonio front part of this intake was available way before the ITG/VWR canister intakes.

No I don't see above.

[Keith@APR]

ah, ok.  Thank you!  That makes sense.

The price of the VWR intake is more than the price of the ITG it once was?

Having a bad day are we?  No blow that im aware of, its far to cold at the beach for sand castles anyway.

I presumed you were answering this question:

Is there anyone running one of these who can give some ideas of what gains can be achieved and how it compares to the ITG, Twintake, Evoms and dare I say the REVO one.

He wasn't comparing the VWR and ITG, in which case i completely agree with you, its the same intake, with a change in some lettering.   

The price of the VWR intake is more than the price of the ITG it once was?

Yes

Yes

Any idea where I can see what the price used to be?  Maybe I can lower it some?

[Janner_Sy]

not sure on links as most of the retailers that used to sell ITG no longer do.  Pretty sure the ITG Maxogen was around £350 for the K04 and £330 for K03 that was a few years ago that i bought mine though, so no idea what it was more recently.

Are you saying there's room for negotiation on the price Keith?

[Tfsi_Mike]

My Maxogen was £380 direct from Andy Jackson.  Super helpful guy too

Ah, ok.  The maxogen ones.  Aren't they the open filter systems with about 96 hose clamps?

Only 91 hose clips on mine 

Sorry if my comparison was irrelevant

Oh no, its completely relavent.  The deal is that if VWR hadn't become the exclusive partner, the prices were going to go up anyways with the new design.  This explains why it seems like the prices went up when VWR got involved, its because they switched to the new design at the same which is more expensive than the old maxogens.
