Great video man. I thought it was a little more complicated then that. Im going to attack this myself. Looking forward the diverter valve install. Hope all is well with the situation we are all experiencing in the World. Stay safe. Great vid.
Hey thanks, man! It was pretty easy to do, especially with the right tools. I haven't had a lot of time for working on this car lately and hope to get back to it soon so I can make more videos. It is a lot of fun! Thanks for watching!
Looks like a nicely made piece! Was curious of the air intake temps vs the ECS’s intake without the carbon fiber box. Think the closed-in filter makes much of a difference?
I think there is probably a small difference as the box isolates the engine compartment from the intake, without the box there could be some hotter engine air making it over to the intake side around the barrier that is used to enclose the open filter. I also generally really like the aesthetic of the box and polished aluminum and it gave me the tidy look I was after. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful piece of kit there, i want to have this but shipping to South East Asia is ridiculously expensive, almost the same price of the kit itself. Any issue with fuel trim?
This has been a great addition, along with the APR stage 1 it has made a big difference. The sounds is great, the pick up is even more improved, and the look is impressive. I like the contained box versus the filter just sitting in the engine bay sucking up hot air. Hopefully you can get this for your ride, the box it comes in is huge which is why the shipping is so expensive. The box is about 36 inches by 18 inches by 18 inches. I will take some more videos when I have time. Thanks for watching!
You just give it a good tug, there are two points in the back where I attached the heat plate and two in the front where you can see the holes where the mounts were. The plugs in the cover are rubber so they just pull off. I think you start at the battery and work counterclockwise to pop each point off. Thanks for watching, I hope you get it sorted out!

Any gain in performance / torque?
The car feels much more responsive and sounds great! Thanks for watching!
How did you get the engine cover off?
You just give it a good tug, there are two points in the back where I attached the heat plate and two in the front where you can see the holes where the mounts were. The plugs in the cover are rubber so they just pull off. I think you start at the battery and work counterclockwise to pop each point off. Thanks for watching, I hope you get it sorted out!
@@JCsVWGolfR hey were you able to place the engine cover back on once the CAI was installed?
@@zactastic4lifeno, if I'm not mistaken the engine cover is the air intake so doing this mod also deletes the ugly ass engine cover.
This is a fsi for all you tsi Fanboys
