To me looks like old development stock of theirs as it's sold by a Revo outlet. If in doubt, e-mail Revo direct and enquire.

See their reply from eBay.

"Yes this ebay account belongs to revo. We use ebay to clear down old stock, used parts etc.

This intake is not as good as the other one we manufacturer. This ebay listed item is for the remaining 5 kits we had left over from several years ago when we were acting distributor for another brand. We have long since moved away from this and now we have our own intakes. These new intake we sell, powdercoat and camcoat, are far superiour to this one listed. Far superior in every respect. Obviously the price reflects that. For £150 though, you aren't likely to get a better kit which is new for that price."

No sure if it's worth a punt or not.  They made a counter offer of £120 for one.

You don't half dither about.  You've been looking at intakes for about a month now. It's not the most important decision you're going to make in your life!!

Most people who buy those intakes then sell them and buy either revo or evoms. Save yourself the faff and just buy a decent one to start with  :signLOL:

For a little bit more money you would be much better off with the Ramair 90mm intake from eBay. Pipe diameter on the kit above is far too small, and if used on a K03 car that kit will make a horrific whining noise in the midrange under load.

Also beware that the sale image shown on eBay is for a LHD car where the brake fluid resevoir is on the other side. If the re-circ pipe comes off the intake at the same angle you may well have difficulty trying to fit it as the brake fluid resevoir looks to be in the way
