Guest, 🚨New Stock alert: Premium CUPRA valve caps now available in the store 👉 Order now from the merchandise store
Just goes straight into the engine bay hence why I'm considering either using that original feed to vent under the new heat shield but more logically is to vent from the lower bumper / fog light grille which is what I will do when get round to it
Ive already stated why its not used its pants!!! ITG have done testing and desided it wasnt werth the bother. Andy@ITG said if your gonna put a feed to the filter theres loads of air volume around the lower fog light area or by the k1's side vent thingy.
Email ITG if you want more info lads

Without trying to sound critical of a product or a company, I find it interesting Revo claim 15g/s more air flow with the ITG over any other filter, yet on the r/r, ITG cars are no better than cars with Dbilas, VF, Evoms etc.
I reckon thats just company politics, i'll scratch your back if you scratch mine.

I have
Will get round to doing my DIY job soon. Not convinced it will make much more difference but it can't hurt. At moment just toying with different options and ducts as want a neat job.
As said on the K1 (and where I will be venting mine from) I will use the side skirt vent.
If get chance will take to bits at weekend

what intake you got? if you upgrade to the larger cone it has a vortex inlet in the end which will give you alot more benefit from running the ram hose
a cold air feed is definately a good idea especially if the compartment the air filter is located is relatively sealed. many people don't rate this mod but heres the reasons why i do.
1. Air supplied from the grill area is rammed into the airfilter area pressurising it improving turbo efficiency since it no longer sucks the air, its now having it force fed.
2. cold air is more dense and although it will still be delivered to the manifold at the same temperature cooled by the intercooler it will still be denser /have greater air mass.
3.power runs will be more consistant. If you vagcom 4 successive power runs you will see that the first is always the highest recorded air mass and then subequent runs can be 10 g/sec less. This is simply heat soak / raised under bonnet temps. Cold air feeds to a sealed air filter area reduces this considerably.
An essential mod imho consisdering the costs and effort involved.

Owen i would like to have dual cone filter but the Evoms pipe has a 4" Venturi opening that requires the specific cone.
The pipe is 3" perfect fit for the opening up to the engine bay. I dont know if a 4" pipe would fit?
