Intake: What we have done is modify the water lines & intake pipe a little so we can use the TSI intake head & filter in this case. I understand that this will be available as a production part in the future.
The airboxes are identical - S3 Golf V & Golf R, so no size difference there.
Stage 2 pipe is only for the Golf 6 GTI cam chain motor, not applicable (at this stage) for the FSI motor (golf R).
Intercooler: - certainly our car only has the stock GTI plastic tanked intercooler. The Pirelli & S3 ran an alloy tanked version (both slightly different) so it seems that the R is hobbled from this point slightly. Cold air is good air!
The "other pipes" - have not seen any data on testing - I have seen bench flow testing and there was no increase in flow (and no increase in diameter through the entire pipe - this was MKV pipes) (really because there is no restriction, especially on the pressure side). I would love to see some data that shows what a difference they make!
