I have a 2009 A4 B8 and am eventually getting an APR flash done. I had one done to my B7 and it was day and night with pick up and getting rid of turbo lag. Im contemplating getting a Carbonio intake and possibly a 3" Downpipe or full 3" TBE. does anyone have any of these from APR that they can give me some good advice on this? im not looking to start an arguement over who is better or what brand may be better blah blah, I want someone who has APR based products and knows about them bc lets face it unless youve put an APR exhaust on your car and then changed that to a Milltek or something else you really dont know what youre talking about and I dont need to hear about what your friend had and how his car drove compared to yours bc each car is different. thanks

 

carbonia intake is a waste of money. just get stage 2 and a test pipe.

 

Im not really a fan of testpipes. Rather do downpipe w high flow 200 cell cat.

 

I have the Carbonio intake on my 09 avant and can attest it is a complete waste of money. Now mind you, it looks fantastic but there was no discernable increase in acceleration. Prior to the install I already had a downpipe, catback, larger front mount intercooler, and APR flash. I cannot verify there were no real hp or torque gains, but certainly not from the seat of the pants.

 

I went with one of these puppies as well Audi A5 with Motorized front plate - YouTube

 

I was planning the same APR setup as well. My shop said if you run a turbo back you have to run the APR stage II ECU flash setup to manage the O2 sensor

That sucks the Carbonio doesnt help. Thats a bada** lookin intake
