Which intake for gains, sound & reliability?
cuprajake:
The only problem I see with these is the oem maf pipe is oval and the maf is perfectly centred. The aftermarket intakes all use round pipes.
Msportman:
So does the Carbonni give any gains on stage 2+?? Is it for looks only?
Or should I opt for a VWR item.......any oppinions on noise for these?
I want good gains to compliment stage 2+ but without it being an unsociable car for everyday usage.

^^^^ Carbonio is a useless piece of C/F bling, forget that as it serves no purpose.
The VWR (same as APR and newer ITG ones, rebranded IIRC) are the closed cannister ones, some say they are a little quieter, never tried a cannister one myself. Open filter would allow more air in, its all about the flow. My stage 2+ Eddy is more than happy with the REVO one, either that or the EVOMS IMHO.
:happy2:

^^^ agreed I've got a carbonio and it does nothing but look a bit snazzy!
Haha!
JMP:
Carbonio + freeflow filter added about 7hp to a stage 1 Leon Cupra. So maybe it gives about 5hp to k03 GTI. On the bonus side however, since it uses the factory MAF pipe, driveability is unaffected.
