TSI VRS air intake options

[Baillie]

As the title suggests, looking for all air intake options for the TSI VRS.. preferably not too expensive.  The common ones seem to be APR or RacingLine but you're talking £300-700 just for an intake.......

 

Are there any alternatives out there that people can recommend?

Look at Ramair

The APR is on sale at Awesome at the moment. I know it's expensive but it's a stunning bit of kit.

Hi mate, I’m having car 10 plate petrol vrs TSI, mapped to stage 2, guys from garage said original one on car it’s  good one and I won’t get much more from changing it and better save some money and not doing it. They will do a new engine remap and full exhaust upgrade- miltek. Should go from 245 to 280-290 horses which is not bad I say.

What changes did you get from it?

thanks pal

Where ? pinocchio dyno

 

An air intake & a map make 320/500

 

Seriously, some dynos are set for bragging rites

Maybe he is stage 2 with a downpipe. He didn't say that were the only mods. If not then I agree it sounds high.

It is tuned by a tuning Danish company
but many tuner make stage 1 with 310-320 hp on ron 98 or 104

With respect, last October I saw a Revo stage 1 mapped vRS230pfl roll 302bhp running 98 Shell V power on the JKD Portsmouth (heartbreak) rollers. You won't get a more accurate set of rollers or better fuel & still the Revo software couldn't make it's claimed output. Mine didn't either, it's all down to the rollers & the dyno owners know big numbers brings customers back hence, why they set them up high.

What does the Ramair one sound like?

It is LOUD !!!  (maybe a bit too loud In my opinion)

[vrsdx57]

Thanks guys, I was interested about the difference in power and sound the intake makes; there are lots of videos on YouTube which say there's no difference in power , don’t know about sound though..

Anyone knows for sure their engine power incresed only because of an aftermarket intake? Is it worth spending a few hundreds on top of over a grand for stage 2 with full Miltek upgrade

That's why a good tuner always rolls the car before tuning so you can compare the result
My car was measured as standard at 226 hp on octane 95 (without filter)
and after tuning to 312 hp on 95 octane (without filter)
and one month later  to 320 hp on 100 octane and with ramair filter

 

Unfortunately, I have only the print from the first roll on 95 without filter

Cool mate, mine was 212 standard and 245 after stage 1.Dont forget its 10 plate so the 197 one.  They said 280-290 will full Miltek no intake . So probably will be close to 300 with intake. 

Do you reckon it’s worth spending on intake? You happy with it?
