Not really unless running big power the standard one is fine with over 500hp

Useful for 4 port wmi tho and looks good

Very Nice looking !

HPA's Performance intake when combined with our STG2SR V1.01 calibration for FSI expands the powerband from 4600 through redline. Gains between 15 to 25 HP are seen through the upper RPM generating a new fresh pull out of your 2.0T!

So what you're saying is save the cash while I'm K04 and only spend it when I fit WMI?

Or I could get it, drill, tap and plug the 4 ports for WMI for a later date...

Love your build thread by the way!

i have heard they should have issues with the cast so they aren't airtight, but i haven't been able to get it confirmed.

Unconfirmed source, but as stated not verified. I myself are looking into these so i'm not biazed against the product.
Statllers might have more info as they sell and fit them

yeah I called them, they must have been quite busy cause they were a little short on the phone so I thought I'd call another day.

The HPA manifold really needs a custom map to get the best out of it. Essential piece of kit if you are thinking about running 2bar plus on a BT conversion.

I gathered as much from research a custom map would be needed. I'm still learning as I go along, can you explain the pressure thing, what will the currently be running with a K04?
