So this is awesome.

TLDR - EVENTURI directions incomplete / wrong - I did get it installed after much pain

Longer summary desired, but I still don't want to read all this nonsense and figure out how it ended. Ranting is encouraged-

######EVENTURI DIRECTIONS ARE TERRIBLE, MISS COMPLETE SECTIONS OF THE INSTALL, AND REFERENCE PICTURES ARE FROM ANOTHER INTAKE - SO I HAVE THE INTAKE ON BUT EVENTURI CAN BITE ME AND I WON'T BE GETTING ANY OF THEIR GEAR GOING FORWARD FOR MY TYPE R, RS3 OR ANY OTHER CAR I EVER OWN. SOUNDS GREAT, LOOKS GREAT, BUT THE INSTALLATION SHOULDN'T BE THIS DIFFICULT AND INCORRECT FOR A THOUSAND+ DOLLAR PART##########

Original thread -

Wife encouraged me to splurge, treat yourself, you've had a banner year! So I go ahead and get something I would never get, as it's pure excess. An Eventuri air intake. Figure - this thing should be CAKE to install!

And some elements are / were.

What is just incredible for a $1400 part is they didn't drill the F**(&ng holes for the MAF in the CARBON fiber intake tube.

Yes, you read that right.

So now I am just kind of screwed as my car is disabled at my buddies house and it's not like I can get a replacement intake tube from Eventuri in any reasonable time.

So it's - fix your 1400 dollar intake before you put it in - time.

I need to drill - tap the bolt holes for a stock MAF in this POS -

Does ANYONE know the proper die / tap to use for the factory MAF screws? If I get that done myself through some miracle, I can put the stupid thing on and listen to the woosh woosh while still being pissed off.

But woosh woosh right?

Help if you can! LOL

Donā€™t forget to wear a mask if you drill Carbon. The dust is not good for you

Is there supposed to be a block it mounts to? It looks like the sensor isn't mounted to the carbon fiber in this picture.

Plus, the holes have the wrong offset pattern. I bet the piece that mounts to that pipe broke off.

Nice spot will check the kit. The instructions donā€™t indicate such a step but Iā€™ll give it a look!

Yeah their instructions aren't exactly the best as it kind of reads with instructions for two versions rather than just the one that is applicable to the one you actually purchased. I definitely had some trial and error moments installing mine.

It has a rivet head so I canā€™t loosen it from the hardline. Any advice?
