I believe it probably is...and the Pipercross one sold by Awesome GTI!

Reducing my Golf count by the week....

Here's a pic of my carbonio, as I said earlier the air box looks the same

I'd say the same part.
Probably all made in the same factory in the far east!

It even has the pipework going slightly towards the battery box, in the same way.

I think this is the one

soooo cheap! How is it? How does it sound? It'd be awesome if you could prove some figures on a dyno...  :grin:

Not sure if it's the same or just a copy ?

It's defo not the same, so probably a copy
The cheaper one uses a Pipercross foam filter... just wondering if it's worth it and makes a difference or not!

Not too sure on performance gains with just the filter as I fitted the Miller at the same time,
But the Carbonio does make a nice discreet sucking noise and when fully on the gas and lift off it makes a dumping noise back through the filter, in a non Chavy sort of way  :grin:
It Definatly breaths a lot better and has never felt restricted like the standard intake  :smiley:
