Which csl airbox to buy?

[ATB88]

Has the Turner box undergone any revisions since the V2 box came out ~2 years ago? I have a V1 and a V2 box, both lightly used and lightly blemished, that I'll be looking to sell soon and trying to price appropriately. I see that whatever version they're on, Turner has new TMS CSL boxes on sale for $1800, which is pretty wild.

Also, anywhere stateside have Karb boxes in stock ready to ship right now? Seeing a lead time of 8 weeks direct from Karb.

I'm going to have to buy a third box and save on shipping with my fenders.

Somewhat related question: I currently have Eventuri intake- anyone make the jump from Eventuri to CSL style air box? Any regrets or was the cost worthwhile for the smaller improvement as opposed to the jump from stock?

Just did this like a month ago. Went from Eventuri to the Turner v2 box as I got a deal i just couldn’t pass up. Then had HTE dyno tune.

If you have the spare change, do it, especially with the strength of the US dollar

I never had an eventuri intake but intuitively I would say the difference is night and day. The majority of the noise comes from the intake plenum itself. Those cold air style intakes that mate to the stock airbox make a negligible difference in sound in comparison to a full carbon box imo.

I need to purchase a Karb intake for the silver car stat before I miss out on the sweet exchange rate. I guess the big question for me will be standard Karb + Karb CF snorkel or Karb race with integrated snorkel.

I sent a DM via euroconnex to you with a shipping question, but also wanted to ask, and am doing so here- is the price listed on the euroconnex for karb airbox (race or reg) updated to reflect the current US dollar to euro conversion?

Thanks

I updated it a few weeks ago - doesnt reflect the latest slide.

I can do a bit better still!

Been something I’ve been saying a lot recently! Helped a few members stock up on Karbonius. I get a slightly further discount than the straight exchange rate too.

Close to the GB price from 2018 or whenever that was. I wish I needed something from Karb or Schmiedmann etc right about now, but I’ve already bought all the fancy parts 🙄

Hah! Never hurt to have 2 x of anything Karb, especially with their resale value always so strong.

Well, I believe now is the time to order Karb boxes as Euro hit parity with USD.

Basically, you can get Karb delivered to you for about $1900.

I'm now back in vert owners' good graces 😄

lol, you've always been in everyone's good graces! You were the one that convinced me on staying on the stock diff (as opposed to 3.91/4.1) and going stock section 3 with the airbox, definitely great advice. 👍

The genuine airbox used to be about 3-4k when the car was still in production.

[heinzboehmer]

Best bang for buck is probably just buying the genuine one:

Apologies for messing around lol. I just hadn't seen the latest prices and was blown away. Last I saw, it was about $6k for both pieces brand new. It's almost $15k now, jesus christ

Karb box is a two month wait and has the correct weave direction.
