This might be a copy or something then, because the website says it's a new thing this year.

Translated at http://babelfish.altavista.com:

"02,08,02 suction tube for AUDI due to high demands for over welded suction tubes for AUDI S2/RS2, we
have us decided a suction tube from aluminum casting to develop. This is now finished and would like to
now present we. Advantages: better responsing mode and cooler intake air temperature of ranges of
application: AUDI S2/RS2, Urquattro 20V also with climate fitting LLK on request Price 990 euro "

That was from:  http://www.wagner-tuning.de/content/index.html

Here's a pic of the MTM one.

They certainly look similar / the same.

Btw, I forgot to mention in my last post that the on ebay is the same as the website one, so the name and
pic are the same I guess.

That stuff is so damn cool.
