Did Anyone Order The APR/VWR Intake Yet?

[TLud]

The filter is lifetime. Just clean it. It's permanently affixed to the metal back piece.



I have one in my office.

Please mail that one to me please. You can replace it with the one I ordered. K, thanks.

[DjSherif]

The VWR product line is not for sale yet. It will be soon. Some retailers may have existing stock left but the new cross over hasn't fully taken place yet. Just hold on and all the correct part numbers, prices and information will be released.

Will these intakes be compatible with TSI's as well?

[jsausley]

I have one in my office.

How much will you take for it?

Also, do we get a free VWR hat with our intake purchase!? I hope so!

[bmwgtiman]

I dont care so much about the sound. Well......maybe a little bit. I just find it hard to believe they add as much power as a claim or two I have seen here on the forums. Some people swear by them and others just say it does next to nothing. The whole filter on a stick thing. I would like to see a before and after dyno. APR flash and the APR fuel pump.......then dyno.......APR Flash, APR fuel pump with this intake......then another dyno ! Not trying to start anything! I just want to have a source other than APR. A regular human if you will. Well........I guess none of us are really normal

Will the future versions fit without modification to the engine cover ?

Not Possible. The Stock air intake system is integrated with the cover. There is no place to route the pipe otherwise, so you are either stuck removing the stock cover or getting out the dremel.

I had my local shop (which is an APR dealer) here in Houston put in an order for the APR/VWR intake to get me a place in line, even if they are not yet in stock.

BARTuning or European Legacy motors??

Any updates on this intake?

[Arin@APR]

Any updates on this intake?

I believe 20 were shipped last week and we are getting an update this afternoon on the next shipment. I believe the first batch being processed was around 250 intakes.

[provenflipper]

Arin,
Is there anyway I can check to see where I'm at in line for the intake? Just making at attempt to get a rough estimate when I can expect it.

Thanks

I'd stick with the VWR air intake even with the price, air flow/around MAF as stated is important, intake to front mounted air intake (no hot engine air), much cleaner design then Twintake from Forge, similar pricing, the Wintake doesn't look like it will flow as much air smaller air cleaner/inlet size); therefore, lower price than Twintake or VWR intakes.

Concerning ITG, I contacted them and they won't sell the VWR intake as an ITG model based on contracts with VWR.

not exactly the same by similar style

If you call we may be able to check that out.

I saw that one but it's for the GTI, MAF is in the wrong spot and I didn't see one for the 2.0t fsi engine. I ordered the VWR intake and I'm going to patiently wait as that's my final mod for awhile. I'm happy with the current performance of stage 2+ with HPFP and Milltek TBE sport cat non-resonated.

yeah not sure whats going on there. picture shows tsi, link on left says its for mkV, so i would assume FSI

any dyno with the vwr racing intake, stage 1+, hpfp? just to compare it with carbonio intake. I am going this route.

Yes, I believe so. Engineering just did a lot of data collection yesterday so I'll go through it to see how it all stacks up.

Let us now Arin. I'm getting the VWR intake regardless but I would love to know what I am going to be running.

[BlazedR]

any chance for group buy pricing?

[usurbrain]

I probably will be doing this.... on CA's 91 craptane.... 280whp or bust FTW! Please please make it so I can switch between a 91 octane and 100 octane map soon. And tell me toggle ESP on and off so I can do some big drifto in the rain....

Looks like my intake just shipped!! Perfect timing, as I'll be able to have it installed when I go stage 1+ next Friday.

Where did you order from? I called APR again today and was told that the delivery was pushed back and it would be another 3 weeks still. So I canceled. *shrug*

[TLud]

Gives me time to dyno my Stage 1+ numbers before and after the VWR intake. I want to get a definite idea of how much the intake increases power overall and whether/how much it decreases low end power.

[Lucas_R]

Hey guys, we have had the VW Racing intake available in Australia for a while now - i got mine in October last year. It's very well made, looks great and fits perfectly (better quality than the Forge intakes in my opinion).

Below is a picture of it installed with Audi TTS engine cover, and also a short video showing the sound.

I ordered from APR. I got the final invoice first, and then an email from UPS. This was around 2pm PST.

I understand why you want the engine pulling air from outside the engine bay. But what happens with these sealed systems when it's raining hard while driving?


The way the stock ram air thing is set up, the air can pass straight through the gril, into the bay. The intake is on the top part of that high air pressure area. Theoreticaly water could enter even the stock set up. But with the bottom open, the water should fall away.

Where is the water going to go in the sealed system (if not into the engine)?
Do you have to open the sealed intake and empty it/ dry it out after heavy rain?

How much is it down there?

Keep us posted. Thanks...

It rains down here all the time. Hard. And we have good tires and carelessly drive fast in the rain. You'll be fine. There's even a drain hole if you happen to get some water in the intake box.

Half of the water/meth solution solved

My EVoMs CAI increased top end hp with an APR stage 1 tune. Saw about a 13hp increase at the wheels from just the intake on a stage 1 over stock. Saw very slightly lower peak hp with 1+, (much better torque curve tho).

I am not sure of an advantage the VWR intake will have over other systems, but my guess will be that any CAI will increase power on the :R.
