I personally dont think carbonio is worth the money.. Maybe if you can find one used. I dont think any intake with a price tag muchover $100 is worth the money. The only beneficial thing about an aftermarket intake is if you have a big turbo, or want a little more throtle response and louder DV. The stock intake with stock turbo is efficient. Something the stock intake has is the "trumpet" or "horn" that is attatched to the maf inside the airbox which is key for accurate MAF readings and performance. Aftermarket intakes eliminate possible fitment for the horn and people have done logs to show the differences. Here is a good thread about it, if you have the patience to read through it thoroughly: http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothrea...ostid=18790000
