There are LOADS of intakes you can look at instead of the carbonio, it depends how much your wanting to spend,  :smiley:

id replace the DV as its a C version.

i cant really comment on the anti lift as i dont have it, sorry mate.

Also with the money you would spend on pads, lines and fluid, id personally save a little longer and get the porsche set up from DaveB HTH  :smiley:


If you need any games consoles or games, accessories, etc etc, PM me for my best price,

For the filter I would plump for the ITG panel filter even though it's more expensive than the K&N one.
