VWR R600 Cold Air Intake system
« on: 15 July 2014, 21:35 »
Another little preview from VWR, think I'll be hanging on for this instead of getting the cup intake kit!

Here's a sneak preview for our FB friends only! Our new VWR R600 Cold Air Intake system for Golf 7 is going into production now for deliveries from September.

A complete replacement high-volume airbox, taking cold fresh air from both sides of the front panel, housing a giant TriFoam™ filter rated up to 600bhp.

We've seen gains of over 25bhp from our testing on a Stage 1 Golf 7R. Perfect fit on Golf 7 R and GTI (plus Audi S3, Leon Cupra 280).

More details as we get nearer to launch date. Hope you like it!

Even VWR told me to hang fire for this, was privy to some pics at Inters and looks superb and ITG know a bit about filtration

probably using the existing piping like the cup one to keep the cost down. hmmm think my pipercross is safe then, still looks cool tho.

Looks really neat and OEM;

Here's a shot of one of our prototype VWR R600 intake systems for Golf 7 GTI/R (and S3, Cupra 280) over in USA. With a filter surface area 100% larger than standard, rated up to 600hp, and cold air being drawn from right across the front panel into a double-volume filter box, this is absolutely going to be the intake to have for higher-powered MQB-platform cars.

First production units will be with us in September.
