The link in question is sold out. Anyone got another link? So many different ones I'm a little unsure which ones are suitable.



I messaged them they said they know a company selling privately, I'm negotiating the off eBay security now I'll let you know if I make progress haha

I did a deal to trade my 2 year old FR 150 3 door in for a 290 DSG ST in Nevada White with a panoramic roof today. I swap them over on Friday. I'll miss the old one as it's been a brilliant car but I can't turn down 286 BHP.
I've had a foot injury for nearly a year so having an auto with all the traffic I have to deal with everyday is going to be a luxury.

And how long to arrive? Sick of going through 2 litres of the cleaner every couple of months.
Just under 2 weeks to arrive. They do have vw badges on underside and are same quality as pistol ones I removed. They were £13 Inc shipping. Similar items from fleabay were double and dealers want close to £50. No brainer ;)

To early to say re performance but the stage 1 upgrade works better with a revo air intake. Noise is nice under pressure you hear it but its not noisy and overpowering. The blue shield is the revo heat shield which i have wrapped (got on ebay and they say it can take the heat - time will confirm)

Revo garage told me the air flow was a problem on the stage 1 upgrade. At that time i had a vwr600 unit fitted. They told me to install stock or use a revo item as this is what it is designed to work with. I went back to stock (with silicone pipe) and that enabled my petrol car to use the two performance settings where before i could only use the lower setting. My advise is to talk to revo or your garage about what is best config and there is info on revo site. If you are using somebody else for map just talk to them

I bought these
Just make sure you select two as this is not a set
And were delivered muuch faster than expected

Maybe raking through old material here, but are these fairly easy to fit? I'd like to do it myself but I'm not the most mechanically gifted man on this earth.

Easiest thing ever ;) the old ones pop out by lifting the metal brace(or whatever the name is) with a flat screwdriver and push the new ones in

Superb, great news. I know what my jobs are this weekend then, between this and fitting some fan sprayers!
