VWR Intake disappointing
john_o:
@Pudding any recent updates ?
looking for an intake for my Ed35 (which is just en Edition 30 really) , and this intake would be my first choice

Hi John
Sorry, I’ve been busy recently and forgot to post an update I got from Matt Ellis last week. It’s definitely still in progress :happy2:
--- Quote from: RacingLine ---We’re putting a new MAF pipe into production as we speak as we had a few issues with some previous designs that we were not happy with during testing. Our CAD guy is also re-designing the Grill intake so we don’t have to use a different coupling in the middle (doing some testing showed that using a corrugated centre section between the filter and pipe caused excessive filter movement).

Any updates????
Dan_FR:
6 months later and it's still not been dealt with..... 6 months!!!
As I said before - Too much money to be made in the newer platforms than resolving something that won't turn a profit on older platforms
pudding:
Sorry guys, I'm afraid we need to suffer Racingline/ITGs indifference for a bit longer.
I'm trying to remain optimistic, but I'm struggling now. As Dan said, 6 months to make some small changes is way over the top. The last update I got from Matt was yesterday, to tell me the delay is with ITG and he's going to chase them up. I'm not holding my breath. The Christmas wind down will start soon, so nothing will happen this year.
I note Awesome are still punting the old kit out at £438 (KO4 engine), and I also note Racingline have added big piles of manure to their marketing spiel. 'Simply the best' :grin:
It's sh*tty business ethics imo. The kit should be pulled from the shelves until it's sorted, but as it hasn't been, it shows what kind of company they are. Chasing race team contracts and profit first, customers second. I know that is pretty standard practice in greedy capitalist nations, but wouldn't it be nice, just for once, to have a company on the side of the customer? It certainly started that way with the initial meeting, but we got kicked into the long grass unfortunately.
