3. More torque
4. No smell

So for me the 200CEL Milltek DP is the best option for me.

I have also back to back tested the AFE intake against the Stock Airbox and guess what the stock airbox does offer better part to mid range throttle response and torque without sacrificing any power in the top end (possibly 1-2MPH over a 400M run but this was inconsistent so i have also gone back to the stock airbox. I maintained the AFE scoop tho which force feeds the stock airbox... great piece of kit !!
My experience with the above bolt-ons is that they dont offer any performance gains (they might with a tune) - they do however offer some awesome sound. With the BMS intake you can clearly hear the turbo spool and blow off and the DP provides a nice rumble

@chaddy74 - Any video/sound clips with the AFE?
