An alternative to Carbonio
« on: July 05, 2009, 02:45:41 pm »
Does anyone have one of these??

https://www.dpmperformance.co.uk/index.php?main_page=popup_image&pID=2870

Are there any differences to the Carbonio except the price???  This one comes witha Pipercross filter as well?

Have you tested it under forced induction, or on a standard dyno ?

Here is a comparison of the same APR stage 1 car with and without the Carbonio. Torque was said to show a 4ft-lb gain acorss the board.

It was from the ebay, search the USA one and look for carbonio's with offers accepted as thats what i got. Greenouse got it 1st. I offered a fair bit less and got accepted the P&P was about $50 but at the time its about £25 and no import tax as they marked it gift :happy2: total incl delivery must have been about £95.
