    You should add a heat shield to your kit as well

    Please note the one piece construction, and the mounting foot that holds the intake from rattling about while hanging it sideways in turns.

    Any IAT measurements at idle and at speed vs stock?

    At idle the AIT is below freezing, and under heavy load it's even colder, we're thinking about making one out of carbon fiber to make the ricers jealous too.

    So that's a no? I'm curious as to how well the unsealed filter area works.

    Pricing is $329.99 shipped, if anyone with a Golf R wants to put together a GB we'd be happy to pass on some discounts to you guys.

    My apologies, I will put them off to the side and make them smaller next time.

    It's basically the same as the TSI intake we've had on our project snowflake/K04 for quite some time. We just put it on today, and we were tied up with a coilover install. I'll see if I can dig up something up for you, the air box seals against the bottom of the hood quite well.

    looks a lot like a BSH intake....

    hopefully, there is a rubber damper for the bolt by the battery....I can see the bracket failing from the engine movement.

    No problems at all with this intake, works very well on the project Golf R so far:

    I like it. If i didn't already have the EvoMS intake, I would absolutely get this. Your containment area for cooler area is better than the one I have with my Evo system.

    If anyone's interested in running a GB on these or the Golf R Direct Fit FMIC kits let us know.

    We're open to ideas for a group buy. We'd need a minimum of 5 guys to get something going, standard price is $329.99 shipped for the Golf R intake.

    I can't quite tell from the pictures, but it looks like this could almost work with the stock engine cover - does it?

    We didn't try, but I think it would require some modification on the Golf R just because the cover is a fair bit different than the other 2.0T's. We didn't think a TSI cover was indicative of the true Golf R anyway, so we were happy to see it go.

    Have you ever seen these signs on the road? “Keep right except to pass”… We have too and far too often we had to move over because the guy in the M3 was passing us. We had equipped our Golf R with all the bolt-on power upgrades we could, intake, exhaust, downpipe, FMIC, Eurodyne Maestro 7 programmable software upgrade etc… Unfortunately we still found ourselves keeping right more than we had hoped. So we decided to take it upon ourselves to make this car fast like our old MK5 2.0T project car. I don’t know how many enthusiasts have seen the bottom of a Golf R with the drive shaft and turbo off, but here you go:

    Thanks for the bump, it's odd that there doesn't seem to be much interest on these forums for Golf R performance parts that actually work. We've developed the most powerful .:R turbo kits on the market for some time now, our MK5 R32 Stage 4 kit puts down 525+WHP on PUMP gas - See JC@Douglas for details. I don't know any tuners building a production turbo kit with numbers like that. I'm thinking we should start selling stickers to go with the Soundaktor.

    Fabricating downpipes for the Golf R is relatively difficult due to some extreme space constraints, but here’s a sneak peak of the CTS Golf R turbo kit featuring 3″ stainless steel downpipe, and external wastegate. The discharge from the wastegate will recirculate into the downpipe down stream to minimize turbulence near the turbine discharge. Thanks to Garrett for providing us with such a pretty package that is so well hidden under the hood…

    Power output depends on turbo choice, tuning options, engine upgrades etc. These engine/ecu combos are for the most part the same as the old TFSI MK5 GTI's. Pricing is listed on our website, we just shipped one of these kits to a DSG customer overseas.

    Here's a Dyno courtesy of Sorensen Performance in Denmark, who installed one of our FWD kits on a Seat 2.0T making a hair under 500WHP. If people think that 500awhp will be easily attainable they have another thing coming as these cars have a fair bit of drivetrain loss. The turbo used in the dyno below was a Garrett GTX3071R with 63ar turbine housing.



    There's no witchcraft to these engines, pretty standard stuff, which makes them very tunable compared to MK6 GTI's and the late MK5 GTI's.

    Thursday we had a sweet carbon steel grey Golf R roll in for a tuning consultation. What’s on the agenda? Eurodyne Maestro 7 stage 2 ECU upgrade, CTS Golf R intake kit, CTS Golf R downpipe, CTS Golf R direct fit FMIC kit and Autotech HPFP… Can you say wolf in sheep’s clothing?

    That's okay, we can sort you out if you need something aside from a hot air kit, maybe a big turbo kit?
