RE: Evoms intake issue?!?!?
I actually have the prototype for K&N. Mine is made from aluminum and connects to the turbo inlet with a rubber piece. Everything is fine with my piece. What do you expect for free???
Good luck!
Cheers!

The hell with tommorow this peaked my interest.
A rubber hose connects the turbo to the main plastic tube and filter.
That is the piece in question that has since been replaced. That was probably plastic and warped under the extreme heat. Surprised that the nuespeed doesn't have the same problem i think they have a one piece plastic tube, maybe better grade.
I think chef has nuespeed he'll chime in to shed some light on the construction of the nuespeed.

SO what did you find on your car?? It was there a problem with the evoms intake or the rubber hose?

You must not have understood me the first time. The turbo has a rubber piece like a big radiator hose that connects the turbo to the main plastic tube that leads to the air filter.
There is no way for that rubber piece to warp,in the past that piece might have been made from a different material and had a chance to warp.
So if you are considering to buy the evoms intake v-flow, please do so with confidence.
I'm having no problem with mine. But do buy it directly from evoms not from ebay or a third party, this way you'll be sure to be protected by a warranty, and you'll be getting the latest technology.

I will also chime in about the Neuspeed, I just put mine on and it has a reinforced rubber hose that connects the turbo to the intake pipe. I was also suprised to find the intake pipe was made of aluminum not plastic so that was a plus

Not to justify what i and many others have, but maybe to educate a little.
1. The platic tube evoms uses for the vw, A3,porsche, etc is the same as the oem.
You ask why plastic? well plasticrecords lower temps in engine bays then metal tubes.
We all know that the coldest air the engine takes in the better the combustion etc.
2. As long as the plastic tube does not contact the turbo directly, there is no problem of it warping or melting, hence silecone adapter hose to connect the turbo to the intake tube.
3. Plastic tubes also have a benefit over metal tubes when transitions are applied (diff. dia) i.e. Bernoulli's principle.These plastic tubes have diff. id's so when air passes thruthe constriction, the air passes has to speed up thru the restriction reducing its pressure andproducing a partial vacuum. Named after physicist "Venturi" thats where the name v-flowcomes from. These transitions are impossible to apply to a metal tube.
Hope that wasn't too much good luck to everyone.
p.s. I learned this stuff somewhere i just cant remember where???

Wow, you caught me with that...Im DEF getting the Evoms intake
...PD: I learned about Bernoullis principle in high school, had forgot it until now! how the heck did you remembered it?

I learned about bernoulli from my dad's dry cleaning buisness, my dad taught me that the same principles were used with fluids,on those machines. We're talking way back.
Any how Mex that is a selling (technical point) evoms uses, do you get 10 more hp...No
but it sounds good. good luck.
