It looks pretty good for the cash, I cant see why it would be any worse than a Carbonio to be honest.

Hi ian,get that.It looks just the same as my carbonio,it should work the same(filter will be in the same place).

I think the main reason the carbonio is so fecking expensive,is that it's made of carbon fibre and its good heat resistance properties.

For that money it's gotta be worth a try,you would have £170 left over for the remap then

I bought this very kit

a few minutes after fitting the engine management light came on and the car was coughing and spluttering.

vag comed it and an error code saying MAF signal too low, don't think the filter supplied is of good enough quality and was actually restricting airflow

will try it again when I get a better quality filter to put on the end of it.

 put the standard airbox back on, cleared the the fault and it drived perfectly.

Hi i have a similar kit on my 4mo..........

Also got it from fleebay.......noticed a difference in sound and the car seem to breeth better, but iot wasnt an exact straight forward fit, and had to be modified a little, this mainly involved bending the metal peice into the correct place to locate on the car, as it appeared to be in totally the wrong place........ 

tim8360:

I think silverdart has one on his golf looks & sounds good

yep tim is right , i do have one of these and it does sound rather good the only thing i would say is throw the filters away and fit a apexi filter instead  they are dry filters and wont kill your maf . you can get the apexi filter for about £20 off ebay

ive got one too, running the K&N style filter that came with it, and after 8 months use so far, its not given the maf any issues, 4 months ago the car was remapped, and still ive got no issues.

that said, id idnt realise you could get dry filters so cheaply!

what size mouth do i need? is the pipe 3''? if theyre that cheap, i may get one and fit it when i whip the bumper off for my FMIC next weekend. 

Nice pic acejas! Thanks!!

It certainly looks the part.
