Anyone got any reviews on this kit, link below

Should be ok to fit on an Audi A4 b6?

Any cone filter in the engine bay, even with a heat shield will be sucking in hot air so is performance downgrade. On a remapped mkiv 1.8T Golf I had it actually lost 6bhp on the dyno with a cone filter & heat shield compared to the standard filter & air box! You would be much better sticking a decent panel filter in the OEM air box or going CAI.

So the plastic air box won't heat up then making the standard box hot and suck in warm air anyway

No the standard airbox draws cold air through the front grill.

In case you didn't know, cold air is denser than warm air hence lower intake temps which means better combustion. Apologies if you already know this.

Called jetex and kit is only suitable upto 200bhp. Pretty useless.

They keep that quiet in the performance blurb
