If I go for the carbonio or carbon speed I will also get the itg panel filter.

To be honest it is the engine cover that needs replacing, the Carbonio or Carbonspeed are more for looks. You can buy a TTS engine cover for not much money that fits with the 'proper' intakes.

This is a good option to be honest, I have one on my GTI at the moment as I am only going stage 1 with this car.

Or if you have the Pirelli/ED30

Ah so the carbon speed and carbonio will have little effect?
So it's over 200 bucks for very little return?

I thought that if I got a stage 1 revo remap I should also get a new intake at the same time, or is that daft?

As MC71 said, if you want performance benefits better to get an intake, if you want some engine "Bling" the Carbonio will be fine for that but don't expect much in way of power gains as the main restrictions are in the engine cover/air filter and not so much the front side where air goes in  :happy2:

For stage 1 you probably dont "need" an intake but if you plan on going stage 2 or above it will be beneficial/required.

Have a look at your options, what you wish to spend and what you ultimately want from it and I am sure you will be ok.  :happy2:

I have the Carbon Speed intake on my car and the only thing i noticed was a deeper sounding engine tone...

ArildStavrum:
cheers folks! the garage who is carrying out the remap (indy specialist) have offered me a forge panel filter FOC so I will stick with that just now!
