i so want one   :rolleye:


you'd deffinetly need a hpfp with the itg intake imo.


....Not necessarily - If you've got a Revo remap you could turn down the Boost setting and be fine on the stock fuel pump without fuel cut issues, I'm reliably advised. You could then get a HPFP later if you wanted. It's like 3+7=10 is the same as 4+6=10; Just a different balance.

If I get a high-flow tubular intake I'll just turn down my boost until I've got enough dosh for the APR HPFP but then I might just stay at Stage2 instead of 2+ and any extra stresses and not bother with the HPFP.

Having been through the same prosess as you say (except the other way round hpfp first) you wouldnt be getting the best out of the package as a whole if you got one or the other. Both the oem intake and fuel pump are pretty naff as you probably know.

....I'm running Revo2 with a Carbonio and ITG panel filter and oem fuel pump (K03 GTI). You're right perhaps if you mean I wouldn't get the maximum out of the package but at what cost to engine longevity?

But we digress off-topic perhaps (my fault!).

Quick tip for you mike, after you've oiled the filter leave it in the plastic bag and fit it with the bag on it. This way you won't get oil all over the place when your squeezing it into place!  :happy2:

.... :surprised: I didn't realise it was an oiled filter. I hope it's less oiled than the ITG panel filter in my stock box.

Excellent tip, Nath  :happy2:

Massive thanks to Sy for perservering with me with next to no light and in the rain!  :happy2:

First impressions, much noisier, sucky whooosh!  Feels less aggressive / less powerful than it was before, Im hoping it is adapting to the new pipework / filter..

I'm surprised at the initial experience, I had a panel filter prior to stage2+, the difference was like night and day when I moved to the ITG. Hopefully things improve.
