Carbon airbox question
« on: March 20, 2013, 10:35:12 am »
afternoon folks..
been looking at a CAI kit, and liking the look of the carbonio set up, also this one from Regal http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CARBONSPEED-Induction-Kit-VW-Golf-Mk5-GTI-Audi-S3-Seat-/170679277288?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item27bd4716e8

Does anyone have something similar fitted? the question i'm looking to ask. is what kind of increase in induction noise can i expect.. i'm also going to go down the route of the pre-cat delete as well this week if i can get time and if the weather holds out..

Zero bhp gains.

Zero noise gains.

Ah we'll that's shafted that.

Should have also said that the reason I was looking at those was due to me wanting to keep the oem engine cover.

I can definitely hear the turbo more with mine, but it doesn't make any gains looks good though, I wouldn't pay £215 for one matey; if you want one I will have mine for sale in a couple of weeks.
