..from Awesome GTI. Think I spoke to you AwesomeSarah didn't I...?

Anyway, has anyone else got one of these fitted to their VRs and if so what do you think of it?

Hopefully get it fitted next weekend and then I'll be able to let you know...

to be honest i dont think many have foam filters on their cars

I had one, not sure if it made any difference tbh. Few people have the K&N's. I prefer the pipercross as they are non oily.

I once won a Pipercross foam filter in a competition & was very pleased to fit it to my 1.3 Escort, ooooh the power!

Anyway a little while later I lifted it off & found some fine sand sitting around the carb. When I shook the filter it was clear that the sand was working its way through the foam & therefore into the enginge.

This is going back a few years admittidley but I don't think I'd risk it again.
