Thing is that I want the most efficient one if it means no change in sound. However if it happens to be louder, then all the better :)

Not decided which one to get yet though bud. Also, none of the kits on the JKM page are available for the Cupra yet either. The Forge one was withdrawn from sale last week as it does not fit the Cupra properly.
IT DOES! read at the very bottom of the page mate

The thing about the Forge that worries me is the filter sits very low, and, according to their website, shouldn't be used in very wet conditions, so not much use in this country then.... also the Dbilas rams the air down the pipe, rather than sucks in god knows what from the road, also the smaller surface area of the filter will deposit less oil on the MAF sensor, unlike the big cones...

Dbilas or EVOMS I would say mate. JonnyC off ASN has GIAC, TBE and EVOMS and made 339bhp on the rollers. + I hear most of the guys in the States rave on about it too..
They would be my only 2 choices as they're the only ones i've heard good things about..

I would love it if some tuner/magazine etc got a Cupra/Ed30/S3 on the rollers and tested them all including the OEM. To really see what's good ond what's not...

well once we have a decision, a group buy must be done, as these intakes are not cheap !

Is that with the stock fuel pump or not?

No note of an Autotech/KMD/APR fuel pump there? You are maybe thinking I said "pump" map, but what I meant was an uprated fuel pump....

Decision so far is to wait and see what becomes available for the Cupra other than the Dbilas.

Forge has been ruled out already, but the VF and Dbilas and maybe the Evoms are still in the running :)

Speak really nicely to one of the Cupra Championship teams and see if you can get hold of one of these :
