Vwr cold air intake

I was told 4-6 weeks last Friday, plus side if they should have the dyne installed by then so hopefully will be able to get some runs

Group buy would be nice as there seems to be a few interested!

Probably a good idea, might get the price down from "Frightening" to "Almost realistic"

Yeah all ready on it just waiting on stock for now but will get some prices soon

[gigolo456]

Anybody have any idea roughly how much 'almost realistic' might be??

I wold hazard a guess that a group buy might bring it down to £420

Same went with the cat back exhaust.  Was great for the first week, but after that it irritated me.

You didn't mention that when you sold it to me  In fairness, it is also as I expected it to be but I am also getting a bit tired of it now.

I still love the Exhaust note of my BCS exhaust system though Im not too big on the intake side. Many performance cars like Ferraris etc have lovely exhaust notes and not a great deal on the intake side.  I will be keeping an eye out for the VWR group buy and see what the offered price is.  Failing that APR are releasing a new fully carbon fibred intake soon for the TFSi which looks and will be priced almost the same as the TSI version out now.

I'd be interested in a GB too (for a TSI intake) if the price was right

Aren't these just the carbonio intakes??? http://www.goapr.com/products/intake_carbonio_20tsi.html  . I didn't think they were known to have the better performance gains of many of the intakes

No its a total redesign from the turbo inlet to the front air scoop. Here is a link to my post with the new APR intake soon to be released.

Cheers Matt  

I will be looking for an intake before mid-July and expect the APR to be a while after that if it is planned for end of July in the US....

...so if a GB on the VWR can be arranged, I'd be very interested.

Edit:  Has anyone PM'd Keith@APR on here to get a better idea of expected date to the UK market?

I have and he doesnt have an ETA yet for its release.

So what is the current retail price for the VWR induction kit for a Mk5?

I see Awesome are still advertising a Mk6 kit under the ITG brand for £270 which doesn't seem too bad (although I am comparing to say a Mk5 Twintake at £400 which may not be a fair comparison)


Edit:  Just found tat the RRP's £456 inc.vat from VWR's site - that's a shocker!

[Dp_Ed30]

From talking to the guys at apr they are selling more of these than they can get. We can ask about a GB but if business is as good as they say then I would get your hopes up to much

[muckipup]

Fair point!

I have a TSI on order and so I am tempted to get the ITG branded intake from Awesome today, 2 months ahead of the car arriving and before VWR jack the price up
