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

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

Thanks buddy as always.
For time being I want change the filter not the whole intake at mo.
And I'll get the savings going for the porker brakes mine are ok for a while yet.
Thanks for big help

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