VWR Intake disappointing

[Dave J]

That's excellent news Pudding - thanks for evolving this kit with Racingline. I had been wanting to remove this from my car due to the fear of the coolant pipe snapping off again, but I'll wait for the outcome of this development work. I really like the look and sound of the kit, so hope the developments make it daily driver friendly!
I've already emailed Matt with my proof of purchase from Awesome and my details but have not heard back as yet.

That’s good news. My kit is still in the box not fitted. Only had it 5x weeks 🙈 although, good job if they’re gonna upgrade the kits and replace them FOC.
I’ve emailed matt too. So will hopefully get a reply tomorrow.

It's probably best to wait until the kit has been revised before sending over your POPs

Hi Guys,

First of all I would like to thank Pudding for all his time and effort on Friday, it was extremely helpful for us and he certainly knows what he is talking about!

We've already 3D printed a new MAF housing for us to test fit on and then put into the pipe drawing, which will be tested today. We've also got a new mount being printed to support the upper pipe as I type!

For everyone that has emailed me so far, I apologise for not replying. As Pudding said, I plan on emailing everyone separately with a full list of improvements an what is going to be done moving forward. I've filed all of your emails away, so when we are sorted I'll email you all back. For the time being though, I'll post any updates in here as I get them.

Thanks for your time everyone and I appreciate the positive feedback for us trying to fix the issue!

@S19MDE: Thanks for updating us. I'll send an email with the proof of purchase so you can file it with the others.

Any updates on this??
Still have my kit in its box.

[pudding]

I haven’t heard anything yet. Just giving them time to get the revisions tested and signed off. I wasn’t expecting it to be completed in less than a month tbh.

[pudding]

FYI, I emailed Matt Ellis on Sunday but no response yet. Maybe he’s on holiday.
I’ve also emailed them via the contact form on their site to get an update.

[pudding]

Got an update.  Things are still in progress and we should know more in the next week or two

Top work kev👍

Rather handily, their CAD chap has a standard MK5 GTI, so they are currently trial fitting the intake on that car.   I believe the pipes have been sent back to ITG for [MAF housing] modification and ITG are also sourcing flex couplings 

Their 3D printer is currently occupied on other work, but when that's completed, they will start printing off the pipe [to heat shield] mountings, and the revised front grille scoop thingy.

Great news bud 👍🏼. Mine is still sat in its box. 🙈

[JamesED30]

Anything new on this??

[pudding]

Blimey, where has 3 weeks gone     

You can't help but notice their rebranding and marketing on twitter and facebook at the moment, especially with MK7 parts, so I'm not surprised this is taking a while.  Clearly MK5 development is taking a back burner whilst they focus more on MK7 sales revenue.

I will chase them up again.

Still no news yet buddy???
