Hi guy's just after a little technical info(I have a Carbonio fitted bought car with it fitted..)

How much of an MPG increase will a Carbonio induction kit make.... against a standard airbox with a performance panel filter fitted

only asking as i always swore against induction kits and preferred a decent panel filter :wonder:

any info muchly appreciated

Dont expect a MPG increase with any air filter. Performance wise not much between the std air box with good filter and a CAI kit. Perhaps more when a car is mapped with a CAI on it. My car is mapped with a ABD CAI which works better for me than my std airbox does.

It depends on if you like the subtle look of a std airbox versas the look of a CAI and the deeper sucking noise that the CAI kit will give you. Why do you swear against them?

so basically personal choice more than performance gain...

I've had a Carbonio on now for about 4 weeks, haven't noticed any difference in mpg, but the car feels a lot stronger coming onto boost. Quite noisy is the only downside, plenty of sucking and dumping of boost when I lift off.

Yeah it's SWMBO that's moning about the noise etc lol she's going to be driving the car most of the time now as we've sold her mk4 golf

just curious about mpg thats all
