Hello Jimmy.

I Had a carbonio, the car was'nt mapped at the time though, so couldnt really feel much of a difference!

Since having her remapped i installed Nuspeed P-Flow kit, now its nothing drastic, but you can definatly feel more pull mid to high range, makes a lovely induction sound too! subtle roar, without sounding chavy

Forge make a Twintake system, heard nothing but good news about this bit of kit! Personly i think you really need to go the full  turbo back complete exhuast system + cai to really benifit in real power gains!

That carbon fibre air filter looks awesome, where did you get it?

iv got the forge cold air feed one for mine with the vacuume operated dv, and all i can say is iv not had it mapped yet but the difference is noticeably bigger i couldnt believe it plus it looks nice under the bonet with the chunky chrome pipe. one thing ill say with the cold feed one from forge is it sits really close to the floor on the n/s/f behind the fog light and i dont like driveing in the rain ha. which is silly as i live in england were it rains most the time. also the forge twintake system i thought was a little to pricey but overall the induction kit gets a thumbs up from me 

Is there really no decent cai intakes that take the feed from higher up to avoid the possibility of sucking half of englands rain fall intot the engine?

The VW one already takes a feed from the grille does it not?

Yeah, that carbon one sits in the same place as the stnd one. The logic behind the carbon one being that its bigger which allows it to suck in more than the stnd one and carbon material will improve heat soak (which I think is bolloks tbh). The changes are so minimal that you wont notice it that much. But as Tesco say, every little helps.
