VW Racing Cold Air Intake / ED30
« on: January 07, 2012, 05:55:04 pm »
I had the car remapped just before Christmas and finally got round to fitting the VWR CAI today. The remap makes the car a different thing to drive anyway, so much smoother under acceleration and obviously quicker at the same time.

The CAI just helps the car to get more air into the system and again improves the performance no end. Throttle response is awesome! Pretty straight forward to fit, bit of a pain getting the turbo hose off (as im sure a lot of people have found out themselves  :laugh:) but other than that no dramas really. Looks great & sounds great when you really push the car but at the same time doesn't attract any attention when pottering round town. I'm a sucker for VW anyway so love that fact it keeps in line with the brand.

The kits great btw, nice clean look to it once it's fitted!

Certainly not the cheapest one no, but very well constructed and fits brilliantly. I preferred it over some of the others due to sitting nicely in the engine bay and not cluttering it up.

Then the vwr logo adds an extra 150 quid!  :P

Are itg doing this kit just for racingline or is it available elsewhere?

Looks like a good kit.  How does the little rubber strap mount?

I honestly don't think that looks great considering the price. Could have got a hand fab'd BDM one for a lot less.
