VWR vs Carbonio cold air intake for the 2.0 TSI ??

[RocketRossUK]

yeah the whistle is totally normal on the TSI - some people hate, doesnt really bother me, i know my turbo is just work hard for me.

I have treid a few intakes, Neuspeed does it, Evoms (which im running now) does it, didnt hear with the carbonio (but hesitated in power).

all depends what you want. Like MKViken said, he doesnt like the roar / dump which i totally get. where as me, i love the roar, dumps, whistles and pops.....

intakes are massively subjective, i know a few who did not get on with the ITG/VWR i actually loved it as was not to noisy and rant for 30,000 miles, open ones are noisier still

VWR, Revo and Evoms are the only ones i'd touch, i see Forge now have an open intake given the Twin Take doesn't work on the Mk6

Yeah as Wigit said, dont look at at Forge TwinTake or Wintake, they are prone for losing all kindz of BHP and giving massive hesitation

Without a remap it wasn't too loud but with the map on it sounded rediculous IMO.

Was it a noticeable difference in sound without the remap mate?  And which CAI did you have?

thanks

there was a noticeable difference in sound between mapped and standard with the intake fitted yes.

no what i meant was, was there a noticeable difference between standard with intake and standard without intake?  This is what interests me mostly since i do not intend to map the car for now at least

depending on what intake. open intake without map = medium, with remap equally medium to loud.

Having researched the thing extensively and read all the opinions here i'm inclining toward the carbonio, the VWR one is way too expensive in comparison

I went carbonio as well after much research. VWR as you say isn't worth it. I'd also recommend just waiting for a second hand one. They do come up every few month for a nice saving.

I got mine for £200 for stage 1 & 2!
