i will try to compare by ear to the best of my ability and report back.
I'll be interested to see if there is any benefit / downside to the enclosed version. I guess getting a cold air feed is better than the open filter?? but it looks like a slightly smaller filter from the pics.
Anyway collecting sunday so will know more then.

Fitted mine last weekend. Little bit more fiddly to fit with than the open filter system. Some minor hose modifications to be carried out due to clashing with the cannister. The hose pictured needed about 10mm cutting off so this valve didn't clash. Coolant hoses underneath the cannister may need some looking at with clashing / rubbing.
You'll also need to ensure that there is minimum safe engagement in the existing maxogen hose (if converting from the open filter system) The air in end need to be engaged as much as possible into the grill / slam panel adaptor plate, if this is just engaged by a few mm engine movement may cause the nose to drop out the panel adaptor. This may be more of an issue on DSG based vehicles under aggresive gear changes. Mines a manual and I stuck about 35mm into the hose to make the air in nose engagement half decent. Hasn't come out so far. :happy2:
I'd be really interested in flow figures from a back to back test on these two ITG variants. From a bums on seats perspective there seems no difference to me personally (Revo Stage 1 GTi, KO3) .
The noise difference is the major improvement. My open filter was driving me mad but this is so much quieter, still the faint noises from the turbo control system but without that intrusive noise at part throttle of the open system which wasn't my cup of tea :happy2:
Thanks to pirelli08 for putting this thread on that led me to purchasing the new cannister arrangement

Oh you got the enclosed bit too?
How did you get yours?
Apparently it's the front part of the mk6 intake
Picked it up today. All looks good.

Dropped ITG as soon as I saw Pirelli08's thread. Spoke to them nicely and they were very helpful. :happy2:
For anyone else the part numbers to change from open maxogen to cannister type are:
ARAB65/84XL filter
STAB99 air filter housing
STAB99VWRCAISSPA slam panel adapter
Modified STAB99VAGTSIMB mounting bracket assembly.
Let us know what you think when you've fitted it :smiley:
