Hi guys I'm looking for one of these intakes for my eddy I'm after a new one I've rang awesome and another company and they haven't got and and they are on back order :( anyone else know where might have one in stock?
Or has someone got a mint second hand one for sale?
Thanks,
Jay

If your buying for aesthetics then the Carbonio looks good on the TFSI but you won't see any gains. They pop up now and again on ebay, there's a replica; Carbon speed, I think its called, very similar bit of kit for less dollars.
-
Yeah I've been told that I won't get any gains I've also been told that I will loose low end torque if I buy a cai like the evoms or itg etc, I am planning on getting a milltek cat back for Xmas and possibly a remap next year, ideally I'd like a evoms but don't want to loose that low end power, but I will be getting a remap, stage 1 revo/apr maybe stage 2! So I'm still unsure to be fair on which to buy!

K04, I'd just map it personally, and then upgrade the brakes. :driver:
-
I really want one, they are in back order but they don't know how long for what's the best thing to do hmm? How long usually will it take?
Thanks Jay

There is one on eBay now says brand new in box might be worth a look :happy2:

You won't lose any PWR/TRQ with the Carbonio on TFSI because it doesn't do anything except look pretty; seriously don't buy it for any other reason.
With the K04, which isn't known for great low down torque/power anyway (sub 3k), if you want a CAI then do it properly with a Neuspeed/Revo/Twintake where you should make some fairly decent gains... but whatever you decide definitely get it mapped, it'll make you smile like a cheshire cat. :drinking:

^^^^ Spot on. :happy2:
Carbonio for bay bling and not a lot else. Get the map done ASAP and go from there, its a crime not to map an Eddy. Look into Linear throttle maps for smooth delivery of power.
Happy modding.

Thanks for the advice I meant people have said they loose torque on a revo/evoms in comparison to the stock/carbonio intake? I'm not sure how true this is?
Thanks Jay

Yes mate, but seeing as your stock atm, if you were to whack a decent CAI in there and a custom rTech map... you wouldn't notice --- well, only that your now around 70BHP and 100LB/FT up over standard. :jumping:

Sounds great! I'm gonna have some awesome plans for Xmas then :D
Thanks guys glad that's cleared up! :laugh:
