VWR Intake disappointing
Shoduchi:
Seeing 2.7-3-.1% fluctuations on my LTFT, depending on the driving style as well. Your values are really good! :surprised:
I hope VW RacingLine does deliver an as good intake as yours with the revised version. :smiley:

That waviness looks like the ECU messing with the fuelling and/or timing. Shame most dynos in the UK don’t measure lambda during the power run like they do in America.
If the MAF isn’t sealed properly, or if the scaling is off, that could be a cause. Or maybe the intake/egt temps were getting hot.
£450 is good value for -8hp and +19lbft 😂 Only kidding! I’m sure it will improve once the new intake is ready.

Hope your right. And that they actually come through with it.
Mines only been on a few weeks, and I’m not very impressed.

Mine currently sits/fluctuates between +-1.5% of Zero, depending on driving style and whether the WMI is in use, and the difference is night and day over the old RamAir which used to sit at around +12-14%
It feels like it did with the factory airbox low in the RPM range, but with the gains of a free flowing intake at the top end.
Hopefully the revised part from VWR will get you guys close

Took my LTFT values and were at 10%....horrible. I'm going to reprofile the maf sensor orrafice like @Pudding and see if I can bring it down any...I would be delighted with your trim values with non standard intake mate very impressive...good to know it shld drive better.

Lol I know mate i did have a wee chuckle myself. Not too fussed tbh it was a necessary evil since I've caved and I'm going the TTE420 route....may need to put it off tho for a bit since this torque steer with the spacers is doing my head in may need to use the cash for a diff first I'm leaning towards...but that's another topic.
The Red Warrior:
So, are VWR definitely going to replace parts with the new spec stuff for those of us who already have this intake if we ask them?
The reason I ask is I’ve just been emailed that it is now 47% off from a place that I’ve bought from before. US$280 is now the price (plus shipping) which seems too good to pass up.
