Default correct, and even that isnt a huge turbo in the fact that the stock air box needs to be modded..
in order to fit the larger MAF, thats prob the reason apr says you have to buy the CAI

Default well the carbonio just has a snazzy top shield.. the OEM box is just a black box
that works well with OEM tuning and chipped cars..it all comes down to noticeable gain either by way of Vag or drivability. For $300+ your making the right choice if you send it back IMO. Get a big turbo then it would... might... sorta make sense.

Cheers,
Joel

What were you expecting? the stock airbox is well designed and good enough for chipped only power

Default thumbs down ... not worth the 300+ bucks i think.
Maybe if you go stage 3 plus, but not with my current setup.
