Here's the before and after videos. It's a subtle change in the induction noise and I think you can feel the increase in air flow / reduction in restriction.
Not long. All-up was less than an hour and that included getting tools out and packing away.
2 screws and the clip on the pipe to undo and then about 8 screws and the clip to put the R600 in. One of the simpler mods as there's no major disassembly required.

Do u need to modify anything out the front of the car for the air intake?

No modifications - just straight bolt off and bolt on. The R600 intake effectively has the "snow grate" modification already completed as it takes air from the complete front of the car compared to the stock intake which has half blanked off.

Sounds very OEM, I think under WOT you should be able to feel and hear little bit of difference. With a tune, DP and turbo swap the R600 will increase induction volume and sound.....
Well done on your first performance mod.

Yeah haven't really had the opportunity to go WOT yet to test it. Sound will definitely change with all the other mods but I like that it isn't obnoxious.
I'll have to see if the 0-100 has changed. I know usually intakes make bugger all difference
Is there a summary of everything you have done on this build? Looked at the start but maybe its further in?
I will have to get around to updating the post on the first page but car is pretty much stock with an intake and some blacked out trims. Don't want to disappoint you from reading through 300+ posts.
On order are TTE475 hybrid turbo (due to be completed manufacture shortly). I'll also be placing an order for an intercooler shortly (likely Wagner) and will also be getting a DP, turbo inlet elbow and turbo muffler delete. After that it'll be on the dyno for tuning. So the discussion is more about the preparation and all the exciting bits are yet to come...
