    Your APR Dealer modifies the intake to suit, on some it requires minor relocation of some water hoses, but all our dealers are well versed in this.

    Would it be stupid to get the Carbonion intake before i get stage 1?

    Can I just pay $1600, have the Stage II downpipe installed and get the free Stage II ECU upgrade therefore saving myself from paying $1700 for the Stage I ECU upgrade? Or am I just downright silly?

    The downpipe only includes the update from stage 1 reflash to stage 2.
    if you haven't done stage 1, you would need to pay for the flash too....

    The intake allows better air flow and changes the induction sound of the motor. The addition of the intake is independent of the ECU tunes, so you can put it on whenever you like

    Or maybe the dealer is just Profiteering from unsuspecting people,Oh and don't forget that if you choose not to go with the APR software that it is STILL on the car, not removed,just not active.Your VW ECU has been re written,no matter what anybody here may say.
