    Thanks Guy but I'm not a member there, can't view them. Does this intake use a pod or panel filter?

    Uses a pod but fully enclosed in a carbon fiber enclosure.

    Will get it up on our website in the next couple of days.

    dyno chart would be great to see if there's any top end improvement.

    "Cold air induction is accomplished by completely sealing the intake system from the hot engine bay air and then taking it even further through the choice of Carbon Fiber material and an additional thermal barrier application to the inside of the intake system. Quite often intakes are advertised as cold air induction even though the material choice is a metal or plastic composite which simply does not insulate the incoming air from the hot engine bay air or does not completely seal the intake system in the engine bay allowing hot air to enter the intake stream negating any cold air induction gains."


    14 ftlb & 16hp - test car had a full exhaust but it is a good test! 93 MON octane = 98 RON octane

    Is the filter a re-usable oil jobbie or a dry filter Guy?

    Looks like a reusable oil 1.

    BTW that 16hp is 11kw, but that might be dependant on having an exhaust done already.

    So I figure anywhere between 5-11kw on its own .....

    So .... APR ECU, Carbonio intake & exhaust = about 210kw on the TSI ......

Who's game to be the "crash test dummy"?














    Johan, do you have any info on the size of the silicone elbow they used there? I just did some measurements and the stock intake OD is 80mm. I'm looking at using one of these which has a 70mm mounting OD;

    Would need that elbow in the pics I think, looks to be a reducer elbow.
