Best S3 Cold Air Intake Kit

There is no difference - I've had two different systems on mine and been in lots of cars with the other usual candidates (and seen their logs) and they all perform the same. So go for anything from:
- ITG
- Forge Twintake
- EVOMs
- Forge CAI
but steer clear of the Carbonio / Oettinger panel option nonsense. You'd get the same result from hanging a scented tree from the rear view mirror.

Forced induction is your turbo
Cold air intake and induction kit are more or less the same
I will be going ITG maxogen eventually

Cheers for the feedback guys, that's some feedback I was expecting regarding the Carbonio I thought they were a good brand!
Yes you do need to take off the OEM cover. The noise it makes is great - you can hear the turbo sucking and whoosing and it is not overly loud.
I put a review up of it here:

I'm still waiting to find an S3 engine cover from ebay as I don't want to cut my original. I did take a video with my phone but it is completely pants so no point in sharing it, I will need to get myself a camcorder for a decent video.

The REVO remap is absolutely fantastic. It completely transforms the car and is the best "bang for buck" you will spend on your car. The adjustability you get with the SPS+ is brilliant too as it allows you to tweak the remap for any other HW mods you might buy.
Modding is a slippery slope and a bottomless pit!!!

I read somewhere that a new 2010 TT-S (on SEACUPRA.net) can only hold a single map.
Has anyone else heard about this, and the implications on staged mapping that earlier cars like ours can support?

Not heard this before. Perhaps the ECU in the TT-S has less memory? I believe there is about 2MB of free memory in our ECU's which the remap companies exploit and use.
ah cool, i just need to work out what i can afford as being a student, money is a bit tight after buying the car haha
think REVO do a 5 hour trial of the map, so may have to wonder down to a place that does it and see what it feels like before i fork out a huge wedge of cash haha!! :icon_thumright:

I think the trial only gives you 70% of the power rather than the full map. It will give you an idea but I don't really see the point in why they do this rather than the full beans.
