All Things Mk5 > Performance Modifications
VWR Intake disappointing
Bodyboarder81:
Let us all know the outcome @Pudding , as I’m keen to purchase this kit but obviously would want the ‘revised ‘ one when it’s here :happy2:

Sure thing :happy2: I'm sure between ITG, Racingline and customer feedback, a decent solution can be found :smiley:

I met up with the Racingline team today and had a thoroughly decent 'cars and coffee' session with them. Very accommodating and professional people :happy2:
The areas arrowed in the pic below are now officially under development, and they were drafting up the modifications in CAD before I'd even left!
When the updates are available, I will pop back up there and test them on my car. When we are happy with the revisions, they will go into production and owners of the old kits will be entitled to the new one FOC if proof of purchase is provided. i.e. an invoice from Awesome GTI or wherever you bought it from. Naturally, these things take time but I will keep this thread updated with any developments :smiley:
So, to break down the forthcoming changes:
MAF housing - This will be modified to correctly compress the weather seal.
Intake pipe - A bracket will be made to rigidly mount the pipe to the grey peg on the heat shield.
Flex coupling - One will be supplied, but it may not be like mine. They are looking into options for that.
Canister mount - Unfortunately the MK6 snorkel doesn't fit MK5s, so the existing mounting will be modified to allow more clearance for the coolant hoses etc.

That’s great news ... well done to all parties involved and hats off to vwr for being professional about it all ... once the .2 comes out I’ll be sure to order :happy2:

Great work Pudding! I'll be waiting for your test on the revised version. :happy2:
