Found a carbonio intake on the net for £165, is this a reasonable price? Sounds alot better than the oettinger intake £485  :huh:

....I use Awesome a lot - They give a fair price and very helpful service. I'm pretty sure that Oettinger use exactly the same Carbonio intake but without the Carbonio badge. I don't understand the £485 cost. Even the most expensive ITG filter only costs about £50.

I actually rang oettinger as i was willing to spend upto £200 maybe £300 but the women quoted £485 and then said..."hope to hear from you soon" i was like yeah right lol so the carbonio is quite a descent price then....guess thats the first thing im after once i get my first wage pack :)

Just remember that you won't get the full benefit of the intake until you fit a performance exhaust (like Milltek) and also a remap. It's a slippery slope this modding game :cool:
