Carbonio CAI-Is it worth it?
Quick question. I'm going to chip my 2011 A4 soon and the shop that's going to do the work also suggests that I put a Carbonino cold air intake in too. How much difference, if any, does it make? I've not heard any real numbers either way. Any help would be much appreciated.

Just a gimmick, doesn't do anything more than a K&N filter woudn't do, just ten times the price.

If you're interested in getting more air into the turbo/intake manifold/engine so the APR tune can use it, there are a few upgrades you should consider.
1) Airbox to Turbo Hose:

2) Silicone Intercooler Hose Kit w/ Larger Turbo to Hose Adapter:

3) High Flow Intercooler Pipe:

Then to get the exhaust gas out faster/more efficiently, you can use EuroCode's Hi Flo Cat and your choice of Cat Back Exhaust.

I don't have a tune and I've noticed better throttle response and more audible turbo spool - which I like
