Yes Sir, totally agree. Plus plenty of air can get under and around the cover, it sits above the ECU, not on the ECU. Plus, the cover is relatively thin, any heat will radiate through the cover.

Dear, Gregory.
We have received your payment!

The tracking number will be available, once all the preparations are done.

Exactly the same. My order was placed and acknowledged on Sept. 14.

I ordered about the same time. I believe the parts were listed as a 15-day leadtime. I’m not worried. I’ve had great service with cars245 on multiple orders before.

First time order for me but any number of members have posted great things so I’m not worried either.

Thanks for posting this. That ECU really stood out (ugly) and I wondered why Audi didn't have it covered. I wound up getting the Carbon Fiber cover in hopes that one day I'll get a carbon fiber intake.

Thanks again!

I have ordered several things from them (including recently from this thread, these trim pieces). Everything eventually shows up, but it does take a while. I think my last order took around 4 weeks from when I placed the order to when I received it. considering the savings, it is worth it to me.

I agree, especially for something I didn’t know I needed.......

Is that the AWE or the Raceline Intake? How do you like it?
