BHP gains from Induction Kit?

Just bought a mk2 Leon Cupra and interested in getting a little more power without going down the revo route, would like around 265 bhp. Does anyone know what an uprated induction kit (itg, dbilas, twintake) could achieve on standard software?

You won't see a great deal from an intake only, not without software changes to take full advantage.
Although one manufacturer was claiming quite big improvements, think I was reading it on the Awesome site...

In fact the biggest gain you can make is the remap unfortunately.

On a Leon FR 2.0tfsi.. which was running revo stage 1.. before on std intake it made 242bhp on my dyno and with Forge twintake, and reduced boost but optimised fueling, it went up to 260bhp.
Well worth it.. Real gains.

Ah ha, found it. Awesome are claiming mounting an ITG on an ed30 gave 44 bhp more.

hmmm. bolt on.. no mods.. I'm inclined to be skeptical of that.
S3 (2.0tfsi) most certainly did'nt make that much more because of his ITG induction kit on my dyno. Gains yes, but not anymore than twintake gave on the leon fr I mentioned earlier

kind of shows how poor the oe airbox installation is when real gains like these can be achieved by induction kits. 1.8t were never as "bad" in oe form, aside from the k04 cars which do seem to like a bigger intake. :D
