What's a carbonio?  I've just got my s2000 filter on a reducer attached to the maf, have you got any pictures of your set up mate?

That's a big filter haha! I took my filter off and maf again today to have a look and a clean, the maf is like new and the inside of my creation motorsport tip is bone dry not greasy at all, I plugged it back in and drove home from work and it ran a pig trying to accelerate with only two psi max of boost and it having massive lag and then suddenly shoot to 10 psi and take off, but I can floor it and nothing happen just 2psi and it be very slow, so I pulled over and disconnected it and it ran like a dream again! Mental. I don't know what to do as I don't wanna spend loads of money on a new intake and it not make a difference witch I think might happen as it was doing this before I put the cone filter on, suppose I could do a proper boost leak test? Could it be that?

I do get quite a lot of noise still, depends what your after I hate the dv noise tbh constant ptschhh did my head in, especially since stage 2. I went with the airbox and pipercross panel filter with dsg intake, not the cheapest setup but happy in the knowledge its as quiet as I'm likely to get but its still noisy, if I could get silent I would lol

Yeah I love the sound of the turbo, think Im going to get a green s2000 filter and a new maf, do you think it's a good idea to run the filter infront of the bumper? Would that make a difference because I normally have it on the end of the maf? Cheers

depends who you speak to  :grin:
I haven't seen any gains from one that's on a MAF to behind the headlight. The Turbo heats the air as soon as it hits it so whatever is your preference really
