VW Raceline R600 cild air system

[themanwithnoaim]

Anybody got one of these fitted to a vRS yet ?

 

Thinking hard about getting one but, not sure I can live with too much of a drowny air intake

Did you finally take the plunge to do this? I ended up fitting the Forge Carbon fibre intake system instead.

No, I've opened up the air intake behind the grill, removed the snow guard section & fitted a Raceline filter. That R600 is just too expensive

Did that make much of a difference? 

That’s what I fitted. Still expensive but as I’ve had diesels as company cars I said as soon as I get a petrol I’m doing this to it. Lol

Very difficult to feel the difference, when you're up at about 300bhp, 5 or 6bhp is pretty small & my tuningbox has had a software revision.

 

Need to get back on a rolling road really

[Madmax889]

Ah ok. I put this on more for the sound to be honest. Also to be different  lol 

where did you get the tuning box from? DTUK? 

[themanwithnoaim]

Yeah DTUK box

[Madmax889]

Do you have the newer version with the 3 plug system or just the two? 

 

I had those hose on my mk6 and 7 Golf GTD and it just never ran smooth when it was fitted.

The FSR+ I have is three channel (plugs) well worth the money but, if you have a warranty, if you have no warrant a remap is probably the better route

I've got one sat waiting to be fitted (The full £700 kit) - bought some parts used though!!)

 

I've been in @Ant-Vrs 's with it fitted and don't think it was a problem at all - You get the noise for sure but it's not THAT loud to be anywhere near annoying or drowning.
