Carbonio Or Jabba Cai (i'm Confused) Which One

shady-ninja · 31-03-2008, 22:27

I'm confused on which construction of CAI will give my APR tuned 1.8 20 vt Toledo.

Awesome GTI says the Carbonios location of the cone filter behind the wheel arch allows for the extraction of cold air.

On the other hand Jabba is against this and belive that the location of the cone filter inside the engine bay in the exact position of the original air filter is good.

In my opinion Its quite obvious that you get more heat in engine bay than inside of the wheel arch.

Please some help me.
Have a look at both constructions in the links below.

Is the Jabba one an enclosed cone? the second link doesnt work for me. I have the Carbonio but havent fitted it yet.

Ive got the Jabba one fitted on mine, it has shielding to 2 sides so when the bonnet down is totaly enclosed plus it has a cold air feed from the wheelarch
To be honest not much between them both good pieces of kit

if i was you id get the carbonio. BUT the jabba one is prob best for this country

if you go thru puddles and have open grillls get the jabba as you wont suck in water. due to the carbonio bein in the bumper, when it pi55in down you may get bit of water in. I have one of similar disign and i find in the really wet times it doesnt drive that well.

hope that helps a bit.

shady-ninja · 31-03-2008, 22:55

but do you have carbonio?

V666 VRS · 31-03-2008, 22:59

From that picture i'd say the Carbonio would be better. You will still get plenty of heat soak with the Jabba one imo. Mind you what the costs of both because the Carbonio one is about £180 inc postage. Have you not considered one of the ebay cheapo jobs? I'v seen pictures and they do look pretty good. Looks can be deceptive though but they do get good reviews from members on this forum.

shady-ninja · 31-03-2008, 23:07

i know the cheap ones look good but im after performance gain and i want to lose more heat

claytarget_god · 31-03-2008, 23:09

lol thats what i got £35 i payed and it jus the same as the carbonio I think.

it is good though I jus put stockins ove the filter jus in case.

the sound is good and the differance in amount of air it lets in is pritty big.

claytarget_god · 31-03-2008, 23:10

you can go on a run wi the EBAY one and stop and open the hood and you can feel how cold the air pipe is. any that is in the bay I think will get some heat.

mattbeef · 01-04-2008, 12:32

See mate i told you on SCN that the ebay ones work just as good

Out of the two though Carbonio

Oh the wonderfull filtration properties of ladies underwear..lol

The ebay ones are ok construction wise, but the ones I have seen come with mesh filters that are really good for flow, because the filter feck all out. Use with caution.
