So, I don't think this is against the rules, but I wanted to post a heads up. I have been watching their site for a while and these have been listed as out of stock. I contacted them yesterday and was told the have over 1500 coming and ready to ship mid December if anyone has been looking to get a hold of one. The item seems to also be on sale for about $35 off now too, down from $350 to about $315.
If you have been waiting to buy one, now is the time. Happy shopping.
Also, just a side note on install and those who have the 2nd version installed.
Careful with the metal plate and coolant reroute tube
I found my tube rubbing against the metal plate wearing into it. I also had some rattling between the bottom plate and 2 points: filter housing and plastic piece of the grill. I needed to add weather stripping to prevent wear (potentially a coolant leak) and to prevent a an annoying metal/metal rattle.
Green is where I added the weather stripping
Red is where the wearing of the coolant reroute tube occurred.
The issue mentioned above could happen with any intake.
That was notorious in the MK5 R with the EVOMS as well.
