I wonder if it comes with heatshield....

From the pict it looks like it does.

 

It looks like the filter is low enough and far enough offset that it shouldn't get heatsoaked by the motor...I'm pretty sure I just found my new intake, unless of course Boosted Tech can come out with something for the Passat...then it would come down to price.

 

I am going to talk with them about GB next week. Just trying to establish relationship with them. Deal with grille doesn't seem to work, but I am sure we will work something out with them.

 

I would sure be interested in this on a GB. Looks real nice.

 

That is a nice setup. For that much money, it is easier to build your own though.

Elaborate on parts needed then...

Filter
Hosing
Clamps

Those are all given, but specifics would be nice.

I understand where you are coming form with this, but personally I would rather buy from a company that has done the R&D on a kit and knows it is a good product. Plus the mandrel bends and ceramic coating is nicer then most kits I have seen :thumbup:
I would definately be interested in a GB :bowdown:
I just sent ABD an email asking them about the heat sheild, I will post up a response when I get it :thumbup:

 

Count me in for a GB if this goes....that looks better than most products I've seen

i'm down too.

 

im down too. i just need to get rid of my evoms.

 

I saw this installed on their Passat at a recent So. Cal GTG a few weeks ago. Looked pretty clean. ABD isn't too far from me, maybe I'll hit them up.

 

THAT IS SWEET LOOKING :thumbup: !!!!!!!!!! I've never had a bad experience with ABD either...great products, pricey, but good. I'd forgo my upgrade on alarm, grill and new tires just to purchase that...way to find it NUISANCE!!!

 

somebody do a before and after dyno, puleeeez

 

I could definately go for one of these...get that GB together :biglaugh:

That would be a good idea .. no sense spending a bunch of money on pretty things if no HP gain is involved. Where is the air intake from? If its from under the hood I still find it hard to believe even at speed its going to be a cooler intake area than in front of the grill.

 

Where is it pulling air from?

From the picture, even though the depth perception of it isn't that great, it looks like the filter is a few inches below the headlight housing possibly a few inches away from the lower grille. I'm just speculating, but I'm certain it's below the headlight since that's pretty obvious to see.

 

Doesn't that put it right by the turbo?

Believe it puts it lower than the turbo and a few inches more to the left than the stock airbox.

Do it schmove!

Otherwise I will

 

im down for a gb. would like to see some more pics. there looks to be a heat shield.

 

From the looks of it it seems we would have more then enough people interested in a GB...VW4.0L see what you can do :thumbup:
I am definately in :thumbup:

 

Even when some company comes out with a real cold are intake, people still talk about heat from the turbo. I think it's one of those you want it the get it.

You could probably cover that whole area with heat resistent material and keep it cooler and not have to worry about the heat too much. I would think...
