I plugged my OBD bluetooth dongle in to log air intake temperature or mass air flow but I couldn't find either on the app. Subsequently I found out our cars don't have a MAF so that explains one of the 2 anyway. So unfortunately, no test results. But it defo feels like it pulls stronger. The biggest difference is after driving for an hour or so when the engine is fully warm and then I find an empty road and floor it; normally would notice the effects of heat soak at this point but it now surprises me and pulls like it is cold.
Either way, worth it for the looks and added noise.

I did however added a custom air scoop plate from grill into stock air scoop and plan to try get (silly rabbit motorsport) higher flow intake pipes or try make them locally.

Having seen the evolve video of the eventuri you get a much better appreciation for what it's doing over the OEM airbox and filter. I'm still really surprised that the RS6/7 doesn't have the two separate intakes that the S8 has for the same engine. As an engineer that to me makes a lot more sense. However, Audi obviously get the level of performance out of the stock airbox that they want but it just seems to be such a compromise. The eventuri at least reduces some of that compromise by having two separate feeds from the airbox.

I love the look of the Eventuri and the technology makes sense but (call me whatever) I will not spend £2150.00 on an air intake box and filter that most will never see. The gains they quote are marginal, approx. 20bhp or so above whatever stage of tune your car is at, that makes it around £100.00 per BHP. A good dyno remap costs around or below £1000.00 and typically releases over 100bhp making it £10.00 per BHP.

I agree nothing else looks like the Eventuri and it is a work of art making the engine bay look very special but the AWE one claims the same power and torque increased and is only approx. £1100.00. Still a huge amount for an air intake and filter most will never see.

I do appreciate that to some here £2150.00 is pocket money. I can also afford it although it's not quite lose change to me, but I just can't justify it to myself for the reasons stated.

Regards,

You’ll find A LOT of people have seen Mikes Eventuri. ALOT have taken pictures of it. Mucho kudos to Mike.

Each to their own. However, it was a fair bit less than £2150; that is the full manufacturers price. Ask site sponsors AP Automotive for a more reasonable price. Don't get me wrong, it is still expensive, but not £2150 expensive.
I also have the AWE filter one you mentioned and I think the Eventuri is better performing, sounding and looking. However I didn't buy it for the performance, that is just a bonus. I tend to spend a bit on under bonnet mods; even if no-one else sees them I see it every weekend when I'm cleaning under there. But, if I was after a performance mod I would have definitely spent the money on a remap instead. But that would also have definitely lost me my warranty. With an air filter though I think I might still stand a chance of a warranty claim if the worst was to happen.
