As installation seems to be quite tricky (according to MIkey Turbo's video on youtube) I ordered a BMC filter which I am to install in oem-housing, without the noise-damping sleeve. Also as I read experiences here on forum that the CAI may be too much...the vid in that post seems to evidence this.

Anyone experience as to how much the BMC filter alone would already increase the intake sound incl turbo whistle, without becoming too dominant?

Or do we really need a cold air intake, or BMC CDA / DIA airbox?
(I have the airbox on my Giulietta QV, as the BMC did not add much intake sound, but then in Giulietta the intake is positioned in front of the front wheels so far away from cabin. The airbox sounds really great, when driving next to a wall or so, so the sounds can enter cabin.)

Thanks for sharing experiences!
With a tune like the Alfaworks Stage 1 and a BMC filter there is enough whoosh and whistle to keep things interesting without it being oppressive.

I put one on and took it off - just use a high flow filter from K&N and the stock airbox with a couple extra inlet holes and the silicone hoses. The V2 kit made it sound like a vacuum cleaner sucking behind my ear and absolutley couldn't stand it. I have a Magnaflow exhaust and it is enough of a nice sound to hear when I accelerate without all the whooshing !!!!

I've got the stock race exhaust and a BMC drop in filter right now, I'd say it's a perfect combination of exhaust and intake noise. Don't really get much "flutter" sound when you come off the gas, but you definitely hear the turbo working when you are on it.

I know, I know - there are quite a few of these posts in the archive. But I didn't want to revive a dead thread... But I just LOVE LOVE LOVE the sound coming from the Eurocompulsion V2 intake. I can see why it's not everyone's cup of tea, but it sure is mine. 🥰

It only comes on when boost is present, resulting in a pleasant driving experience when cruising on the freeway when it's just the motor maintaining 60 MPH. But boy, is it fun when you do get on it.

mine is under installation in near future i just got it yesterday night from my parents when they came back from US to IRAN 😂
