Intake waste of money?

I'm liking the intake. It sounds good and I didn't notice any problem with it. It helps on higher RPMs and the spool comes up sooner, yes. Check the dyno comparison:


I still would like to do a dyno like the engine is running at the moment, without the octane booster and without the lightweight engine pulley. Just to check the differences.

pudding:
Hmmmmm...... my credit card is going to get seriously bashed this month.  I can feel it smouldering already!

Shoduchi:
After removing the lightweight engine pulley I do notice the engine a bit more sluggish to respond to the throttle. I have to test the car now. I know the peak power is the same but the AUC might have changed a bit on the lower RPM.

bonelorry:
Decided that I am removing mine and going back to the Stock Air-Box. Just ordered a VWR Panel Filter.

pudding:
Removing your VWR intake?  How come?

I did consider a panel filter, but hmmmmm, I dunno.  I really don't like oiled filters causing MAFs to misread  :thinking:   Is the VWR a dry filter or oiled?
