Update... for those like me with 2018 DSG model with start/stop option, this intake will not fit. We have a bigger battery that won't ellow enough room for it.
S&B finaly confirmed today that I would need to return it for a refund.

There are gains, but not very much. If you are stock id say F it. But at stage 2 power levels, if you already have a dp and ic, AND your trying to squeeze out last few ponies go for it. Id be willing to say a efficient closed after market intake with bigger intake box/filter wider opening for intake tube will net you 7-9 whp over100% stock. And vs a drop in filter? Maybe only 3-4 whp. Hard to say. If your making 350 wtq with a drop in, then you make 354 wtq with full intake, probably not going to feel that shit. If I were to be honest to a fault, id say save money drop a filter in there, remove snow gate call it a day. For me I wanted every last pony i can get, and if I go bigger turbo in near future, want as much air flow i can get.

The rear opening is required for Engine cooling. DO NOT block it off. At highway speeds the pressure differences allow cool air to pass over the top of the engine to the turbo. Feel free to cut the plastic in front of the air box, but adding mesh is recommended to keep birds out of your air box.

Have you logged temps? A few here have and didn't see a significant difference.

Yea I'm not quite sure that's correct either, as the VWR600 has front open, back closed scoops on their custom intake piece. Doubt they'd make it that way if it was inherently damaging the engine

^^The Forge, closed Injen, and the closed ECS intakes also use a "snorkel" part of the intake blocked off as well.
Yeah I have mine blocked off as well all throughout summer, my temps never exceeded 112C on the hottest days. I will continue to monitor the oil temps throughout the year but I'm not really worried.

As do the closed Forge and Injen intakes. As well as other products that replace that top cowl piece. No?

Is38 wheel to APR TIP to APR CF inlet pipe to APR intake to Air Scoop red and carbon fiber. Sounds great

^^ I wonder if that scoop actually helps. Downside, I would think, is that your filter gets dirty a lot quicker now.
