Vwr cold air intake

[dan930]

Just wondering if anyone had one of these kits & want to hear there comments on this kit...im choosing between the forge twintake & this kit

Hi Dan.

I've been using one since the start of the year and certainly got no plans to change it over to any of the others.

It's really well made, doesn't clutter up your engine bay like several other options, it's not made of 20+ different pieces and it's not on 'loud setting' all the time unless you give it some stink.

If you don't want to attract unwanted attention pottering round town but do want some sound effects when your driving hard then it's great. The only other one I like is the new APR intake not sure that's on sale quite yet.

Too expensive for what it is, go for the ITG

As of the start of May there will be no ITG kits for VAG cars unless you purchase via VWR/APR  

[MAT ED30]

Good on Vwr for getting full sales for itg it can only be good for them in the future. I know others won't like it but oh well

[SteveP]

How can it in any way be good for the consumers? Prices will be higher than before just for having a VWR badge on it 

It's just a repeat of the Vibra technics engines mounts situation.

The market should be competitive, otherwise they can charge what they want and the consumer cant barter for discount.  Think awesome GTI and other APR dealers will have access to this range as well though. 

[MAT ED30]

You might be correct Steve but I think it's more about companies like itg/apr wanting to be apart of a brand that is Vw racing and develop products together for the Vw group and our cars and this gives Vw racing some control over a product both parties help make together as a team.

[MAT ED30]

And if you don't like it buy something else no one forces you to buy a product it's your choice

Still due to the fact it will have passed through VWR and have their branding it will be more expensive than the same product coming from ITG.

Awful news, does this mean goodbye to the Maxogen kit?

I dont think ts anything to do with "Being part of a brand" maybe im suspicious but to me its smacks of "Lets tie up a well known product with our badge on it and charge more coz they cant buy elsewhere!", soon enough Revo will own Forge and some other company (whose products I wont buy anyway) to tie the market down to 2 tuning houses who can charge what they like  , good for their profits, bad for your pockets!.

APR/VWR/ITG and REVO/FORGE and whoever else they are both likely to tie up with, they are all as bad as each other (Just my opinion) and part of the reason I looked elsewhere for all my mods, I am not one for lining the pockets of greedy companies with cut throat attitudes to something the consumer enjoys doing to his car

Yup, goodbye ITG Maxogen, hello ITG Maxogen with aVWR sticker and 30% higher price tag 

[MAT ED30]

the price might not change i don't think you should jump to anything yet until we all see what is going to happen i for one don't run an intake but in the future will see what happens as we all have plenty of choice if we search around

Correct me if im wrong... the itg kit isn't enclosed in a canister...it's a open type cai with a shield
