Id understand that choice if you had neither, but why the swap? Thats a very expensive way of gaining or potentially losing a couple Hp!! Lets be fair those VWR ones are essentially ITG intakes with different letters on them and are capable of supplying enough airflow for stage 3 and stage 3+ setups!!
As for AMD, I dont trust their dyno or their sales jargon.
He tried telling me his stage 2+ cars will easily pull 300Hp, he also told me if i wanted to gain 10hp he could sell me a cat aback exhaust....I said no to both lol

For three reasons.
1. Fuel trims are much better on the revo intake. VWR/ITG had a lot of problems with getting them in tolerance. I have a revised one but still isn't as good as you would expect.
2. Revo flows more air. At stage 2+ equates to 7hp.
3. Fitment on the VWR isn't great.
Janner_Sy:
Cant argue with that. Surprised though as my ITG gave practically perfect fuel trims from what I remember, but then that did have a different maf housing to the VWR setup.

Cheers for clearing that up guys, ill be steering clear of that. I haven't really heard a bad thing about the ITG so ill definitely be sticking with my original plan. Just need to buy one now!
