Carbonio cold air intake
- Thread starter luke2702

I cant comment on the Leon but i fitted a carbonio to my mk1 octy vrs....went to one of them rolling road days at impossible performance in kent and i had two runs...1st run stock...car produced 179bhp...2nd run with carbonio...car produced 187bhp....this was my first mod on that car and after that i added a few more bits and got it upto 230bhp with the same tuners......the carbonio i thought was a great bit of kit and the sound was good..not intrusive like a K&N for example but the noise from the wastegate going ssssshhhhhhhh up the carbonio was awesome...pick up was instanlty improved too...get one!
The carbonio i am looking at is a enclosed kit like this so looks oem..

I have never had one fitted but I have been in quite a few cars with them and it is much quieter than an open one IMO. It seems to whistle more rather than suck if you know what I mean. My neuspeed makes all kinds of weird noises when on boost, and my passengers are like "what the hell is that" 
Well a panel filter makes no noise whatsoever, so going to any kind of CAI you are going to hear big changes... but not as big as an open cone
Thanks mate i am hoping to pick one up for cheap so wont be too bad if dont like it...
I've had a few of these and basically you get a little increase in torque a little engine bay bling and that's it.
You don't get any intake noise and gain approx 2bhp.
When I was trying every intake for Tfsi I kept going back to one of these as there's no downside. No noise and looks good.
I've just sold mine for £75 there's one on the vagoc forum for £100 for sale now.

Yeah got it for £100 delivered just got to receive it and fit it
Luke, did it make a difference? I want a CAI but a little more subtle than the p-flo or the like, do u get some noise from it or does it still sound standard?
Cheers
Tim.
You get a slight noise increase but nothin intrusive. I have now got a twintake which is subtle under normal driving and then comes alive under full throttle, but nothin like a p-flo or IGS.
Did you sell you ITG mate? Been looking for one, but can't justify spending loads on another induction kit.
