VWR Intake disappointing
pudding:
More info on the MK6 GTi intake pipe.
It will definitely work, and there's even a nice little mounting to stop it from flapping about. Something else aftermarket intake makers ought to look into as well.
The aforementioned input for a KO4 DV return.
Just need to get a MK6 MAF housing and it's pretty much there. Did a bit more digging on MK6 vs MK5 MAFs. Same style of MAF, but different part numbers. MK6 - 06J906461D. MK5 - 06J906461A. Hopefully the cross sectional area of the MK6 housing will work well in the MK5 and not throw the LTFTs off to much.

As Dave J said, it needs to be moved over a bit to allow more clearance, but people with brand new intakes are somewhat fearful of drilling new holes, just in case they have to return it.
That relates to the older generation intake with the pressed ally air guide, which also as pointed out, can be affected by intercooler size.
The current MK5 intake adopts the moulded snorkel from the MK6 kit, which is a great addition imo! Hopefully this will position the canister with a bit more clearance.

Hmmm, I thought the current kits for the MK5 on Awesome's website looked different. I see it has a jubilee clip to tighten around the canister - I think that with your flex joint would definitely be a help. Mine is one of the kits with the air guide like the one in your picture above.
JamesED30:
I received one of these kits 3x weeks ago, but the weather has been too poor to attempt fitting it every day I’ve been off.
When did VWR update the kits?
pudding:
Not sure. Definitely since August last year as that's when I got mine, and it's the older style.
It only takes about 30 mins to fit. The weather is supposed to improve this week :happy2:

i had ramair and vwr intakes on, the ramair made 4bhp after a map, but switching gave me an extra 20.
