That's not an engine cover, it's a valve/rocker cover...   :smiley:

The engine cover fits above it.

The EVOMs engine cover is absolute crap and not worth the money on. It's more difficult to take on and off (once you've got the aftermarket intake fitted) than the OEM cover, believe it or not.
I've been running without a cover since I got my dbilas intake.

Edit: And holy crapola I'm loving that Eurojet valve cover.

The Audi A4 one fits with an aftermarket intake but it's Audi. The Neuspeed carbon one is the same as the Audi one (sans the rings) but it's hella expensive.

 I've got a forge intake and also haven't fitted a replacement cover. Doesn't really bother me what my engine looks like, just care about how the car goes  :driver: :jumpmove: :driver:

That's the attitude I am taking now once my intake is fitted  :happy2:

Hurdy has my chopped down OEM engine cover which is the best look by far (in my opinion of course).  :happy2:
