Carbonio Intake Install
So I'm installing my recently purchased Carbonio intake this weekend and wanted to see if there are any recommendations people have to watch out for. I know it is supposed to be an easy install, I just wanted to see if there were any things that people ran into that they weren't expecting.
Thanks in advance! |
It's pretty straightforward. I had to cut a bit from the front of the heat shield to allow the MAF to fit. I sealed the edge around the opening I cut with some hardening clay, held up fine for 3 years now.
It will take some fitting to get the height correct so it lines up with the hood seal. Post some pictures when you're done. ;) |
Very easy install, I don't know if you are going to have the same problem but my cover wouldn't fit so I had to disconnect the one of the fuel line brackets and move the fuel lines over about 1/2". Other then that it's an easy install
Oh and I had to grind one of the screws on the maf so it would sit flush |
Thanks guys! I figured it was easy. I really wasn't concerned at all but was curious about anything others have run into. I'm super pumped to get it on and see the results. I am also going to be on a hunt to find a vacuum leak because my boost is wayyyyy off. So once I find the leaks I shall be telling you guys how much I love the intake!

Okay good to know. Also, looking at it now(it just came in) how the hell does the thing sit in the bay? lol. I just don't understand it. I read the directions and it mentions like one bolt and that's it.

Okay that's what I figured. It just seems too easy.

I didn't want to get involved with moving the fuel lines around so I trimmed the corner off the cover to clear the lines. Came out perfect.
Op I think you will enjoy the carbonio, you probably won't see a hp boost but I am pushing 2 psi more and definitely feel more torque (but my air filter was also relatively old so that probably has something to do with it :D). I installed a test pipe at the same time as the carbonio and the combination of those two make a very nice whistle with diverter valve sound |
And instructions should you need them:
