as said, carbonio is just like the std filter, just a little nicer to look at, wait for your next pay cheque and go with a proper intake,  :happy2:

Having just bought the BDM kit. ( amost identicle to the ITG, but with a bigger filter) - I'm extremely impressed.

But if i had to buy again. Purely for cosmetic reasons, and the fact that RedRobbin ( :evilgrin: ) has hammered images of it into my brain since the day i joined the forum. - I'd probably go for the TwinTake  :grin:

....Not intentionally!  :laugh:

There's not a lot to choose from between the Twintake and the ITG and BDM now seems a good additional contender.

Check out the various reviews in that section of the site and see which of these considerations suit you best:

- Performance
- Standard of manufacture
- Ease of maintenance
- Sound
- Appearance aka 'Eye-Candy'
- Price

ITG, forge, they're all the same  :laugh:

Go with ITG because it's the one I bought! (and I had a Carbonio, years ago!)

Tell me about it! I've tallied up what I've spent since getting the car about 5 months ago and shocked to learn I've spent about 2.5k!  :stupid: and I've not even started on the engine yet!

....I dare not tally mine up but reckon I could buy a new RS3 for the same money including the £25k original cost of my red chariot. And I'm still spending! But.. Over 5 years on, I love every single mile I drive and still turn to admire after parking.
