Mike,
There was a prototype on display at the Frenzy.
This prototype was fitted to an S3 and what was found were clearance issues with the hood and intake chambers.
This prototype will next be fitted to a "barn-door" style 16V.
S3 is still on the table, but will require a more sophisticated prototype and method of manufacture. All doable. Just going to take time and money. Hang tight, my friend.
Yes, provisions will be made for the temp sensor.
I'm answering for Roger because I think he may be up north somewhere, hunting wild animal.

Man, I'd be all over this kit if it came in caution orange.

Mine's a 2-valver anyway, no cool parts for me.

While I'm on this thread, I was messing around in the shop today and made a couple of cones for my EIS system. Logic 
tells me it should flow air a little better. I doubt I'll feel any difference but it was something to do. Material is plastic, epoxied to the metal cone cap. First pic is the stock setup with a plastic cone that is bigger than the filter point. I think it may cause some turbulance. The 2nd pic is my modified cone with the width matching the cone top, and hopefully less turbulance and better flow.

Going to play Devil's Advocate here for a moment.
Love the looks of the system and find the performance gains very interesting, but two things worry me:
1: Normally only a "What engine oil should I use" thread generates more flak than a "Is a KN filter a good thing" one. In the latter, there's usually no shortage of warnings about the MAF being ruined by oil deposits from the oil in the filter. If I'm not mistaken, the cone filters in this system works the same way as a KN filter, so won't they have the same problem with the oil - IF it is a problem ?
2: Indications are that test subject cars are running leaner and most seem happy about this. Worries me though, unless the car is running too-rich in stock mode, as I have heard about engine meltdowns from running too lean (in general; no 928-specific info).
Regards,
Erling

Make the tip more rounded, not a tip.

Re 1: I think the oil/MAF issue has more to do w/how close the filter is to the MAF, being right above it.
Not the case here
