    Intake with Giac tune

    Im currently contemplating which intake to buy for the giac tune stage 2.
    im considering between apr carbonio and the awe tuning.

    i've heard people recommend awe tuning along with giac...i'm not sure the reason why...
    is it neccessary to relocate the MAP sensor? since APR don't need to relocate, does that mean it doesn't flow as good as intakes that relocates?

    please share your experiences..thanks.

    I've got the APR Carbonio (and stage II tune with large exhaust down pipe) and it works just fine,
    lot's of air & whistle noises when using large throttle settings

    In general, gains from a CAI are pretty small...

    Intake with Giac tune

    The VWR intake for the Mk6 GTI doesnt relocate the MAF sensor. Neither does the APR intake. The MAF sensor is located just near the battery and it doesnt move, but everything prior to the MAF is replaced with the new intake.

    The Golf R and GTI 35 use a different setup to the normal GTI.
