BMC CDA box test results (x-post from S4 board)

Here't a link to a review from a fellow Audi forum member regarding the BMC CDA airbox. He doesn't seem to be too happy with the unit.

unfortunately our test showed the same results. I thought the problem was in how I had the intake hose laid out, but in the s4 you can't get a much more direct air flow route so that does not seem to be the problem either.

You would have to bring your stock air box and we would swap them out for the second run. If you're willing, I consider this to be a very worthwhile project.
