good call !
I'm sure it would be along the same lines as the Alta turbo inlet tube, and I really doubt any dealer would hassle warranty issues over a piece of tubing, albeit higher flowing tubing...
But I understand, if there was a jcw tube I could buy, I would probably get that one instead too!

since they've supposedly upgraded the turbo, there may be some size/fitment differences, we'll probably have to wait for them to hit the shore and fall into some adventurous hands, but if it is all the same size, maybe the turbo can be swapped straight across as well.

hahaha slick thinkin :P unless they ask for a VIN number haha
i donno tho... i have the Alta turbo inlet hose on my stock intake... that alone actually seems to look great and increase flow a bit at high RPMs... and tho i don't have an intake yet... i'm sure it will help in that terms... i just wish i had a dyno to prove what feels like a very wee bit more power up top...

the same thing can be said for the turbo OUTLET side. the hoses expand a lot when you're hitting higher boost levels. having a silicone hoses or hardpiping everything is actually very beneficial.

Yep I wouldn't foresee any problems with you doing that so long your friend actually had a factory JCW VIN to order with.

this was a very common mod for the 1.8t engines for audi a4s. one of the audizine guys made a video of the turbo inlet pipe, but i cant find it right now. you could actually see that under heavy boost the OEM turbo inlet pipe would actually COLLAPSE on itself. this basically chokes the turbo by restricting airflow to the turbo inlet. i had a samco turbo inlet hose and it maintained its shape throughout the boost range.

its still early in the game for the r56. the aftermarket scene is just getting started up.

BTW: The factory works runs the flat panel filter from US spec cars and not the cylindrical filter as the stage 1.
Figure that one out
I'll post pics once done

Fitted it
Perfect fit with no mods required.
Tried to measure the inside dia. ( O.D. - 2 x thickness ) and it's not bigger but bigger for longer. It's now 2.75" right up until the breather hose connection. It's not as big as the ALTA version, but only cost me £58.63 and keeps the OEM look.
Not driven it in anger yet, so will post back later if i can feel any difference, although i doubt much if any.
Part no. M13.71.7.582.453

Yep, in UK and no fitting issues with the JCW Stage 1 tuning kit. This would have fitting / spacing issues with a EU spec std MCS.

They change the inlet hose too, or they did on mine. The JCW is shorter IIRC to allow for the MAF sensor blank shroud between hose and airbox.
