Carbonio Intake, Is it worth it?

[TinuxGTI]

Is it really worth the £195?

Thanks

[DarkGti]

no way is it worth £195 buy the cheapo ebay one for £50 does the same job!

[TinuxGTI]

So basically you're just paying for the carbon fibre which does f- all?

Anyone got a link to a decent filter?

Mines sucking hot air as no pipe

carbonio ftw maybe not worth £195 but looks awesome under my bonnet  and for the noise etc its well worth it! well i can say mines made more power with this on

Is it worth swap a DSG setup over to CAI just out of interest?

Is it worth swap a DSG setup over to CAI just out of interest?

imo yes but its mainly noise as its drawn in direct from behind the l/h front lower grille and travels along a long intake pipe which amplifies the intake noise more than a stock airbow will but mine seems to rev better than when i had the DSG set up  personal preference i'd say it comes down to at the end of the day
