so why do we get left out? Just curious if I've missed something. (Not to mention our B6 S4 brethren.)<ul><li><a href="http://www.goapr.com/Audi/products/intake_carbonio_b5a4.html">no carbonio?</a></li></ul>

I recall it being useless on a B5.

Default +1 not to mention it barely showed a 2g/s gain over stock on the transverse 2.0t

And I'd bet that it had to do with the foam vs stock paper filter + measurement error than it had to do with the actual intake.

Default Did it show any improvement at keeping the intake air cooler? It sounds like

that is what it was designed to do. I still don't think I'd pay $400 for an intake, even if it reduced the intake temps by 5 degrees.

That's funny considering how hard they were pushing them at APR's BBQ recently.

Default Cools intake temps, and according to APR, gives modest hp increases on 1.8T.

I doubt there has been any testing done on 2.7tt, which is what I was asking about.
