Hmm, if you remove the stock air filter from the air box you lose the air tight seal the filter provides so you'll be sucking up unfiltered air into the turbo/engine. Also there is a drain hole at the bottom of housing, is that blocked off using that intake kit?

kwik fix is cut out the sandard filter to leave the rubber seal, and fit that into the groove to seal, then put the cover back 2gether

As part of the Pipercross kit you get a replacement pass thru filter which essentially is the seal with a large mesh to let the air pass through freely.

What about the water drain hole, is that blocked off?

IMO the Dbilas is the best design i have seen so far. Not a fan of open filters at all

.... x2 - I'm not a fan of open filters either.
The new Carbonio/APR appears to be a good design and I've heard that APR will be bringing out a FSI engine version to accommodate the different position of the MAF from the later TSI engines it is now available for.

Especially when 95% of is plastic. Yes you hear me, the pipework is plastic.
The BSH one gets better reviews and is metal pipework, so gonna wait for this groupbuy.
