Finally had a chance to get the Carbonio Stage 1 and Stage 2 Intake installed!



Not only does this intake dress up the engine bay a bit, but there's a significant improvement in throttle response! I sat in amazement two years ago when I attended the 2010 APR Distributor Conference where APR and Carbonio reps talked of a 23hp increase with both Stage 1 & 2 complimenting the APR ECU upgrade. Granted, these measurements were taken on 93-octane gas and with our 91-octane limit availability here in Washington, I certainly wasn't expecting to see that number on my CC. That said, what's felt is a definite improvement over-all in the power curve. And since I am still running the stock exhaust, I can really hear the turbo spool up and the DV circulate. Great quality and simple installation!
