I'm happy with it seems to perform aswell as the rest :happy2:

....And that's where the other considerations influencing choice come into play such as sound and appearance :happy2:

I'm toying with the idea of buying something though not sure what to get! Does the twin take fit with the standard engine cover? Carbonio looks the best by far!

If you want oem look you want the Carbonio. The rest will require you to modify the engine cover beyond repair to fit with them on the car.
I have had the Carbonio on my car for 40.000 km and can't fault it, i just had a modding itch that needed scratching so i went for the twintake.
i growls from 2k to 3,5 k rpm, and with an aggresive right foot you get wastegate judder and DV blowing, so a bit more personality with the twintake than the carbonio. IMO :wink:

True i know what you mean, also the twin take is a bit more expensive. I think if i dont go Carbonio i may go ITG. Does the Carbonio sound/notice much different from stock? As i may get a remap at same time.

Nothing whatsoever Rhys, if you're looking for sound/performance gains I wouldn't even think about the Carbonio twice! I made this mistake too.
All it does (and even this isn't proven) is perhaps increase MPG by about 1/1.5MPG as it allows the engine to breathe slightly better. That's the only small change I've noticed. It's just to look good under the bonnet really :indifferent:
