Has anyone switched from ITG to Revo? Think MC71 has and prefers the sound of the Revo but was mnore interested if anyone had done any logs to confirm whether the Revo actually flows better or because they are both premium kits are they much of a muchness?
Ta :popcornsoda:

Big_eck I think is his name had a evoms and switched to cam coated revo and had a 9bhp increase iirc! Can't remember torque though!
-
I've got a revo and cannot fault it get a revo!

Yeah I've just looked he swapped from a evoms to cam coated revo and gained 9bhp and 20lbft torque that was on a leon cupra if I'm correct!
Highly recommend one I do, just try and get one with the new shape heatshield which is a 'U' shape rather than a hole cutout where the tube passes through as this reduces chances of rubbing which I had on my first and second kit from PSI tuning but Adrian is a top bloke and replaced both kits for the newest kit free of charge!
Hope that helps!

Swapped from ITG to Revo & not sure I felt any difference.
Prefer that there are less joints in the Revo. Prefer the front heat shield and that it comes with a heat resistant coating :happy2:

same as mike really,i did notice the revo's alot quieter than the itg but not really any difference performance wise
i only changed to benefit from the ceramic coating to aid cooling :wink:

This is making me want to rip out my APR carbon intake and K&N filter and put a Revo intake on. Combined with the War of the Brakes thread and an offer from AmD Tuning with Bilstein suspension, I'm pretty much broke before I've been paid.
-
I took my carbonio off for one of these! Deffo worth it! :happy2:

I know that feeling lol
It's over a week before payday and I keep looking at more sh1t to buy, despite being skint lol
-
best place to buy revo intake? AKS? Direct from Revo dealer?
-
Ordered mine from AKS :happy2:
-
Revo have released the newer version of the intake, they told us it gives a better flow compared to the original one but I can't see how as the diameters seem to be the same as the original one. Only thing that looks different to me is the black plastic heat shield thingy.
-
Group buy :drool:

Any pictures, Mandy?

Interesting that Revo's changed the original design of the heat shield and seems to have dispensed with the underside insulation foam.
-
Yeah this is the version 3 heatshield no rubbing etc! Best one IMO! I've had the second one without foam and it rubbed like a b****! :sad1:
Sorted now though! :laugh:
-
I wonder if we are allowed to exchange version 2 for version 3

Where is Alex when you need him? :wink:
Mind you there doesn't seem to be any rubbing with my original one.

I fecking hope so, my heatshield has nearly worn a hole right through where it rubs the metal part of the filter. Only spotted it yesterday, will need a new filter too, not impressed to say the least.
The intake is a cracking piece of kit but that heatshield is sh*t, well p*ssed off.. :fighting:
-
The people who have had issues with it, are you on oem engine mounts. Allowing lots of movement?
-
^^^^ Yeap side mounts are OEM. Will ask Alex's opinion on this when I see him next.
-
You should be able to get a replacement kit, I did! I had two replacement kits due to both of them rubbing! All sorted now though!!! :evilgrin:
-
Group buy :drool:
Id be up for that
That's at least 3 of us then. :drinking:
-
So we just need to ask the Supplier who supplied the Revo CAI for the new shape holder?
:wink:
-
Save £200+, build your own to exactly how you want/like it. Never had an issue with mine, performs superb, correct maf scaling as used a forge maf pipe, flows brilliant, no rubbing and sounds the nuts :innocent:
-
Already have it, just want the new mod that comes with it :rolleye:
-
can someone confirm we can get the revised heat shield (U shape) for free?
-
Should do if you order a new kit etc!

Might invest in doing this, using a BMC carbon enclosed filter, the Forge MAF pipe and various silicon tubing in between. I want an enclosed system (not open cone like Revo, EVOMS ect.) but don't want to fork out £400... But the Revo intake is highly rated.

Doing some testing back to back next week
-
I am trying to sort out a group buy atm.
