Volant Intake System for TFSI

[benjii]

I would be interested

[MC71]

^^^^ same here, gains?

 Have an ITG ATM so be interesting to see. Could well be interested but as others said depends on price I suppose. Will keep an eye on this thread (on hol's tomorrow, so will be looking for a wi if hot spot).
 

[RedRobin]

Do they make the same gains as the ITG?

....Without some direct dyno comparisons that's gonna be a very tricky question for someone to reliably answer.

What gains do the Volant makers claim?

[alackofspeed]

Ok I will be receiving a gen 2 volant kit in about a week or 2 once received I will be logging maf before and after kit is fitted.

Now before I ask mods about a group buy let's see exact numbers:

I'm interested, but would like to see what your MAF logs show and would also like to know what the increase in noise is over stock. Have you got a map you can adjust to liberate the full benefit of a free-flowing intake, or would it be just a swap of intake?

Thanks for being the gen 2 guinea pig.

[donovan2123]

Already at stage 2 + running stock intake so if intake is any good I will see some healthy maf readings over standard. I will also get some videos of intake so you will be able to see how loud it is.

Good Man!!!

Did Tam ever comment on the stability of the intake pipe?

[Tamiyoman]

There have been no problems with stability of intake pipe, its a solid bit of kit, mine was gen 1 and does NOT attach to engine mount on the bend, no problems so far after 700 miles or so.  

Forgot to add there is plenty of room for it to move/flex when it needs to as the front airbox is only attached using 2 of the rubber bungs from engine cover so it is able to move back and forth on these if needed, when I was at rolling road I could see the engine moving back n forth and looked at the silicon pipe end and it was not bending, the whole airbox/plastic pipe was just moving with engine 

Hope that clears it up!

Cheers mate  

It's prob the best looking intake on the market IMO.  

If the power potential is anything like the ITG it will be a real winner  



....do we have a confirmed total price? Did it end up at £240?

No worries 

I paid £221 all in including K04 take off (£23) so KO3 guys would be about £200, depends how much your clobbered for VAT on a group buy, with full VAT it might end up around £240 for the KO3

I,m in depending on price

[jedi-knight83]

so... whats the score?

[jedi-knight83]

do people still want these? the original guy seems to have gone quiet so i dont mind picking it up and trying to get prices etc if a few are still interested?

[donovan2123]

Sorry been having issues with my car. Because of the lack of interest I think it will be best for people to order direct from volant. Just make sure it's a gen2 filter they send and not older gen1. With out a good number of people discount would be minimal with group buy.

well i had an email back from them today.

group buy price of $234 plus shipping (they estimate $75-$100 for the UK) plus tax I guess?  So thats £215 + tax approx.

He said numbers dont matter

I'm happy to organise this as I might still get one to compare with my new ITG

[Dan.b]

I'd be interested in this.

Does anybody know what kind of noise level they give off if any?

Be good if we can get if for under £200!
