That's not half bad for the ITG. The horsepower increase would be impressive alone by most standards but the increase in torque is unreal. How restrictive must the factory box be?

Red badge looks good too. Although I'd have been tempted to leave it debadged. But looks great anyway.

Any chance of some running vids now that it's got a bit more?

I was very happy with the extra output. The stock box is frankly pants and has a very restrictive front intake section and a very convoluted path into the turbo via a huuuuuge "swirlbox".  :sick:

Getting the front badge done the same when it arrives. :cool:

I'll try and commandeer a mate for video duties and get one up over the next week or so (busy for 7 days as of tomorrow)

My god that's an impressive increase! :shocked:

If only an intake kit would make the same difference on a 1.8t :cry:

Are you going to look at greabox mapping at all or just leave it as it is? I think I heard rumors that the DSG can be tinkered with to try and help maintain the torque curve a bit longer.
