I laugh because this is the subject of many threads and debates, especially in the U S of A.
The tuners tend to say it's a good thing and users don't rate them if they are looking for power increases. There is also the good old factor of the Carbonio being expensive due to carbonfibre and cheapskates complaining that they ain't getting what they want for that kind of money.
It's a bit like the exhaust question earlier. I think the Carbonio increases efficiency and throttle response and the rest is due to the filter used and the remap.

....Doubtless because it doesn't represent good value for money for you.
I expected more from it than it seems to deliver but I like the eye-candy and it has served me very well while under warranty.
Warranty concerns/precautions is another reason people buy them - It doesn't interfere with the engine cover and there's no big python under the bonnet to scare the VW dealers into thinking you've done something pretty major.
Hurdy:
Personally I feel too many people jump into the modding waters without even thinking of how far they want to go or what their ultimate aim is (me included!). The result is a swapping of parts and bits that in the long term costs much more than if you had sat back and thought it through in the first instance.
The ultimate goal of the car maybe just a remap, a bling show car or an out and out trackday weapon.
You seriously need to think about a direction and then look at the options in those directions before committing any of your hard earned cash on them. :happy2:
