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.

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?
