VWR Intake / Engine cover question

[Deadpool]

I must admit, the VWR looks a lot cleaner than my Twintake.

To be honest that actually looks pretty good, maybe I was comparing to my Polo, which is pretty messy underneath the cover. I haven't picked up the Scirocco yet, so I'll make a judgement when I get it.

JohnA - I found these guys... uspmotorsports, who are a little more expensive than another one I found, however there shipping is much cheaper than the other mob, and should be about 620 landed. I think i might get the short shift kit too, for about 870 total. They will do the oil catch can, just getting a price on them, however it would have to be a separate order otherwise I will get charged gst. I'll keep you informed if i place an order, make sure they are reliable.

Thanks for the link mate. Will definately have to order one and just keep it in the shed till i get each piece i want. Then do it all in one hit with the tune

Have a look here for a near-new catch can. all you need to complete the kit for a Golf/Scirocco R is the PCV plate, manifold tap and hoses - all of whichyou can source through Carformance for about $100. http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/foru...ad.php?t=82512

http://uspmotorsports.com/,from from the US
its such a rip off here nearly charging a grand for a intake

For anyone interested, I placed an order via uspmotorsports. They came back to me saying VWR won't let them ship to australia. So i've taken to using a redirect service (priceusa.com.au) which i've used before.

Also because i don't have to worry about shipping out of the US, i went to an alternative site (Auto Parts Store | Performance Car Accessories | Autotuningstore) who are cheaper than usp, but i passed on because of high shipping costs. Expecting to be about $900 landed for the intake + short shift. Again will keep anyone interested informed as to how the company is.

thanks for the insight what a bummer that really sux.
well the other website is approx $734 delivered so i guess its still a saving of a couple hundred.
better than nothing.

My plan RRRRIT is to use the mail redirect service. So that autopartsstore site will ship for free @ 559usd to us addres, then hopefully they will ship over to us for about the same price as the first website (70usd) and it should actually come out about the same if not a little cheaper. Not only is the postage on autopartsstore outrageous, but they might have the same issue where VWR tell them they can't ship to australia.

That's exactly what I did with mine. Price, including shipping turned out to be a hair below USD

This is how d VWR CAI setup looks like on my roc R...with a modded engine cover...
