Vwr cold air intake
Dp_Ed30:
Try that on a modern car and see the maf jump out the car in a fit :signLOL:
Agreed the kits are expensive but when u look at the gains I think they represent good value for money
ktlstar:
understandable on the maf readings but does the ecu not read this / correct ?
Wouldnt the neuspeed which is around £180-£200 just as good as this vwr kit ?
The principle is getting air to the turbo / shortest route the better!

I don't know the in's and out's but it's not as simple as that.
The vwr intake is said to have added 30whp onne golf R, i also think looking awesome adds some valuento the product :happy2:

I think a fair point is being made - there is often criticism for the high costs of a "filter on a stick". However, I do intend on getting nice, clean, filtered air in to my engine and don't mind paying a bit extra for that.

Looking at the VWR's design in photos it appears to be extremely well considered but from a sales point of view, where does the VWR intake fit into the market?

Not sure where it fits in the market Robin but I am certain that it fits under a bonnet....and there is a limit to what premium I would personally pay for bling but as, always, respect that others may have a different opinion :happy2:
ktlstar:
Its just when you look at the kit its just pipe + air filter with a big price tag :grin:
I guess it comes to the fitting quality aswell.
Johnnyc on his ED30 had a small intake which sat beside the cambelt area :happy2:
Look here for example, abit of pipe and air filter
On a starlet, you can see the HKS mushroom airfilter comes straight off the turbo (green/down to the left of the engine)
I would like to know just as we all how they put a price tag on something on the induction kits i.e ITG/NEUSPEED/VWR etcetc
