B16, B18, B20

#285923 Hello people, i recently bought a crash and rust free (except door and rear arches) eg hatch, it was a 1.3 and now there is a b16 inside.
I didnt get the original air box and got a BMC CAI at the moment.
So my question is which type is best for most hp gain? Air box, short ram or CAI?
And can someone provide examples with exact measurements? I work with carbon so i thought about doing an carbon air box, would look damn good under the hood :)

#285924 I don't know how much it rains where you live, but I'd go with a CAI. They look clean, and they're effective. They really don't add much power..... It's kind of just a "selling point."

Good luck. I'd like to see a carbon CAI :thumb:

#285955 I've heard that short rams give you a little bit more power on the bottom end and CAI gives you a bit more up top, that's just what I heard so don't quote me. I know when I put my short ram on my car had a little bit more get up and go but that's just my own personal experience.
I'm sure somebody else will chime in with more info.
