Why do we lose so much low end torque? I mean what's the science behind it?
And do we get it backed when mapping?! :P

Can you use the k04 kit on the k03 if you want bigger pipe work?

The k04 doesn't use bigger pipe work. The 70mm kit fits both k03 and k04 and the 90mm kit fits both k03 and k04.
They come with a blanking plug that you fit if you are fitting it to a k03 car.

I think the k03 & k04 both have a 70mm pipes coming off the turbo.

It changes to 90mm after the maf on the ITG k04 filters.

IIRC I (think) Olly (TFSI BUS) has a 70mm intake and he is running 370bhp so I wouldnt lose any sleep over it

I've had Twintake and Revo, the Revo is noticeably more responsive and sounds  :drool:
which revo did you go for? there are 2 different ones. high flow and race high flow

I've never heard of those options, I have the cam coated Revo. Never heard of race and high flow options  :confused:

ITG Maxogen, Revo or Evoms I'd recommend. :happy2:
Stage 2 MK5 GTI Revo GONE
Stage 1+ MK5 GTI R-Tech GONE

cam coated Revo is it better ?

is it worth the extra money
what is the actual bhp that people have from this revo intake as to a panel filter
thanks for info and reply

The cam coated one does keep intake temps down by a few degrees but isn't really a noticeable difference to drive just nice to have it, so if you're on a budget then no it's not worth it.

How many BHP you get depends on the rest of your setup, of its just a remap and panel filter vs intake then maybe 5bhp, however of you're going for 320bhp+ then you start to need one as the OEM system will struggle to keep up and restrict your power.

I just like the way that it keeps pulling higher in the rev range than with the OEM filter, however you sacrifice a few torques low down but I still have plenty so I'm fine with it.

I think as I'm only ever going stage 1 the stock system will be fine

I have a ram air induction kit and it sounds awesome through the gears and does sound like a dump valve when you take your foot off the throttle.
