Just wondering which intake you guys are using!
-
I got revo copy and stuck a ram air filter on it. fraction of the cost of what any of the other kits sell for. does the same job i suppose
-
OEM with an ITG panel filter (same as VWR). Enough for 330 CV with petrol 98 (can't get any better here).
-
REVO looks and sounds amazing
-
No APR option there?
-
I currently run the stock Airbox Assembly with a Genuine OEM Panel Filter and will probably stay with that for Stage 1.
However, If I was going beyond Stage 1 I would probably be looking at either the EVOM'S or REVO Camcoat.
-
Before anyone says it...; I know..., I really know about the price(!), but I wanted an enclosed filter, so went for the VWR one. It is just right IMHO - quiet and stealthy at low rpm's, and then still gives the '80's turbo noises when really pressing on. I really must grow up soon...

Sorry, APR is now on there.

+1
not yet grown up either!

That looks to be just a carbon funnel and a panel filter, for £330?
At least they are the only intake maker to consider engine movement though, and include a proper rubber bellows.
-
I only pointed it out as that what came on mine. But yes, you are correct I think.
We'll see how it performs when I get it mapped anyway.
-
RamAir oversized K04 intake on my 6R. Love it completely, it's the second RamAir kit I've had and I'll not likely swap it out again now.
-
Nobody using JR filter?

Would be interesting to hear some thoughts otherwise :)

Looks like a more cost effect version of the Revo intake, so should do the job!
The 3 options I like are:-
The old carbonio, but doesn't seem to available anymore:

VWR of course :smiley: :

Late 8P Audi S3 airbox and MAF:

@Pudding (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=10733) Are you sure that that's the late S3 airbox and not the TTS intake? The only problem I have with that intake is the trouble of relocating the battery to the boot. Ideally I'd get a lighter lithium battery which isn't cheap and would not last as much without charging.
The old Carbonio reminds me of the HG-Motorsport intake:

It could be the TTS, you're right :happy2:
I like the HG-Motorsport one too. I like the rubber couplings to allow for engine movement :happy2: Looks like they still make it - https://www.hg-motorsport.de/shop/product_info.php/info/p26261_HFI-Carbon-Cold-Air-Intake-Kit-for-VAG-2-0-TFSI-Models.html

Yes, they still sell them. Not cheap though. They're quite commonly used in Germany.
