installed my seat intake as well,..........basically noticed the same inprovments as mozz.
just a question does everybody have that gap under neath where it conects to the grill? its about a 10mm gap.
Installed a few weeks ago - extremely happy with it
Still working on the rest of the install, slow and steady!
Don't know mate. Not than I am aware of. I didn't notice any gaps anywhere. I took the grill bracket off to dremel out that flap and bolted it straight back on. Apart from the fact that the SEAT intake was a bit of squeeze to put back, everything looks pretty sweet and everything sits flush as if it was stock.
When I installed mine a while back, I left the flap on and not sure if I should've dremelled it off. Any sugestions from anyone if there are any gains/benefits out of this that anyone has noticed before and after the flap removal?
Great to hear both of you recieved and are enjoying the benefits of the SEAT intake. Have fun guys.

mozzy:- where the seat intake trumpet ataches to the plastic grille harness. after it is atatched theres about a 10mm gap below the seat intake and the grill harness .not sure how best to explain it, id take a photo but it was a tight fit to get in there.nice work jon, looks awsome, the blue display should word well with the rest of the gti displays.
hey dave, i cut my flap out ages ago, even when i was using the stock trumpet.
i would suggest cutting it out- the flap is quite intrusive, and i personally couldnt see the point of dropping a couple hundred on a nice Seat intake, whilst that flap was still covering a good half of the feed into the Seat pipe.
i didnt dremel mine, i just cut it out with a stanley knife. did the trick, and allows it to breathe better.
cheers
