well crispy hopefully this dont hurt much, but the stock box sits next to the turbo thus your air is heated. not good for MAX performance. The carbonio does sound good but looking at the stats from them  and doing my own, here is what I got: carbonio syas it reduces the inlet temp by 80%, my test shows 40F to 80F cooler than stock. now my test were done at a stand still so I can only assume that it would run cooler at movement. There is also a simple 80 dollar heat shield you can use for stock box that will help with the temp issue. Now as far as the filters yes kn makes a drop in but then you have a oil filter which is bad for MAF sensors. Dry aint bad but look at the data carbonio has put out on volume of air going thru stock or kn or carbonio. Now granted the best would be cut a hole through your hood and put a dry filter on, but that will look like shit. Also changing the stock versus  carbonio filter, well carbonio wins hands down.  RS$n you saw mine yesterday in the GTG it looks clean quiet when it needs to be but oh yes get on it and you can here the DV. Again this is my opinion and you know how that goes.

Are you referring to this?:

The stock airbox is still utilized.


Are we talking about the same intake?
I know they make other applications.
I was stating what I have heard many times on other forums about the above intake.
A replacement air box inlet, and a drop in filter for the stock air box.
Being that I have never had this intake on my car, I can not state much more than hearsay.

see that is for the VW. the air box/filter is directly over the exhaust manifold, and part of the engine cover. I am not computer savy but goto www.goapr.com and select audi click products on the left in red then select b7 2.0t out of the drop down, then intakes, read, there is a separate select for intakes there that takes you to the carbonio website with sound bite and stats. but on the B7 audi it looks NOTHING like that. I saw a vw the other day with stock setup like the pic and the stock filter is built into that engine cover over the exhaust. poor design. and I was just being sarcastic crispy.....

I did not know that the Audi's Intake system was different then the VW's.

Mike,
That looks Great!

Nice

any ideas about any spark plugs that make a diff in performance for the 2.0t? or just stay with stock? there are a few with claims about an increase in mpg and hp. anyone try any?

NGK BKR7EIX HE SHIT CHECK ONLINE OR GET WITH DANTE!!!! sorry about caps big fingers

Well Thursday I took the wifes care up to Brian @ Avalon to get the new exhaust and flash.
After going through much research and responses, I decided to go with Stasis catback and APR with all 4 settings as it was buy one get one free. Not Bad!
I made the trip along with a bit of work in bolder. Had to go back around dinner to pick up the K&N as it didnt show up by the time the guys were done.
When I went back ran across Dante with his killer S4.
Nice to meet someone so far from home.
Anyways, on my way home coming down I25 this little tiboron was racing thro traffic,(btw was 1am and lite traffic) so I decided to catch him.
as the clearings came and we would run, the wifes car walked away without any problem and only set @91 on the chip. After about 5 or 6 time of this I let him go home unsatisfied with a bit of regret of buying that car.
Hers is definitely faster.
You got to love that. v6 crushed by stationwagon with a little ol 2.0
