Just check these videos:

Just to clarify, on the GTI a decent intake gives 15-20bhp :happy2:

I believe you, but I think you'll agree that one has to choose wisely what to buy. I'd get one from APR or from VWR if I had a GTI, for instance.

Neither of which are any good!!

Revo, ITG or Evoms are the best ones for performance. Think the VWR one is the weird enclosed carbon one.

I have no data to backup my statement, I was just going for brands that I trust, just like Revo. If you're right, I stand corrected.

For my engine I know my OEM filter is enough for the power it has.
