The dilema.......

[sukebe]

Do I buy a BMC CDA for $360, or do I buy a K&N drop in filter and some flexible tubing to direct cold air to the stock box for $120.

Is the BMC CDA really worth 3 times the money???

Car is a Bora 4motion

Go for the BMC, its worth it. I have a Neuspeed CAI in my car, take a look at that too, might be a bit cheaper

I'd go for the same amount of money a AEM intake or carbonio alot better and looks alot cleaner IMO.

Thanks for the replies guys. Of course, the heart wants to go with the BMC, but it is $250 more, and its hard to convince myself that the money wouldn't be spend elsewhere (towards a RSB for example).

Has anyone experienced both methods???

If your after a nice clean look and are prepared to spend $340 on a BMC, for about $40 more you might also consider the EVOMS V-Flow. Looks and performance in a very well made/researched intake.

I have had a look at a lot of the Vortex forums and I can see a lot of mixed reviews with CAI.

Personally, I plan to do a lot with my car so I feel that VW would have tested the car in the hot and cold and the box designed for the car would have been thought about.

Though a CAI is semi-appealing, I would go with RSB everytime !

I have done both, and I too also went the neuspeed path. I love it to death. The noise it makes puts a smile on my dial every time I drive it.

I also did the airbox with the ducting prior to the neuspeed and you can't begin to compare the differences between the two. Airbox mod is zzzzzzzzzzz.

That's for a Turbo and I think I have read they respond better to induction and any other modification you can do to engine.
