This is a great product and really transforms the engine bay styling. performance wise, the throttle response is noticeable improved, with the fantastic supercharger whine now unlocked. The only downside is you really do need to order the intake scoop as well to receive the full performance benefits. The issue regarding the fuel hose is easily solvable and not worth purchasing the relocation kit. The whole intake kit is easily installed and can be fitted within half an hour.
Awesome GTI were fantastic once again on the delivery and very good to work with. Brilliant company and the reason I keep coming back.
Overall the kit was easy to fit albeit you have to guess where everything goes as there are no instructions! The only - point is with the location of the original fuel rail, I have cut the support bracket from my original housing so that the rail doesn't just flap around over the intake pipe. This should be looked at and a bracket added to the pipe to aleviate this.
Having looked at all the equivalent kits from AWE, APR, Revo, Stasis this is by far the best value and nicest made with the carbon fibre box lid and air pipe. The engineering is clearly evident.
Fitting was straightforward and the result was amazing. A much bigger difference to the car's performance than I had expected. Just goes to show how restrictive the stock airbox is.
Two issues though. The first is that the box was missing a silicon coupler. Easily rectified by ordering one locally and Awesome refunded me the cost.
The second is that the kit leaves the rubber fuel pipe for you to sort out it's relocation yourself. For now I've cable tied it to the air pipe. but there are marks appearing on the fuel pipe, so will sort out something more permanent. Irritatingly ECS sell a fuel relocation kit seperately it turned out. Surely this should be just part of the kit. I'm constructing something from a right angled bracket off the air box screws with a rubber lined u clip to hold the fuel line.
I purchased this intake kit for my B8 S4, in my opinion it is the best looking kit on the market at the moment. Not only is it great to look at, it sounds amazing when on the car and there are plenty of dyno proven results out there proving increases in bhp and torque. Was easy to fit (took around a hour) well worth buying.
