Intake waste of money?

I reckon there's a substantial difference over stock intake, engine feels a lot more responsive and is linear towards the redline.
Only thing I have is that annoying goose honk. I need to get myself a DV+ to fix it.

I'm not sure that'll eliminate the resonance you're hearing. From what I've gathered your best bet would be relocating the dv to the front, as in the k04 engines, regardless of which dv you have fitted. Let us know if it works though - the one thing putting me off an intake is that potential noise.
I'm Stage 2 k03 too, so it's encouraging to hear you felt some benefit from the VWR intake.

Hopefully the LTFTs are within range.

Well, LTFT are 3,8%, so not bad after 1 week of running the intake, I think. :smiley:

Yes, pretty close. All in all a success then?

About the intake, I think so. I'll probably revert to the OEM crank pulley just for peace of mind, though. :thinking:

That might be wise! Bit of a shame but I can understand it. I'd forever be thinking it might go wrong.
