I recently installed a EuroCompulsion V2 Intake on my Alfa Romeo Gulia Ti - the intake itself is great, the company who made it...not so much.
I live in the city and it's hard to come by some long, open, pothole free roads - So i apologize that there wasnt more fast and longer drive by videos.

Thanks for the review and for sticking with us. I just now was made aware of this issue you had in this video, in regards to delay and the response was unsatisfactory (and not entirely accurate either). We get many of our materials for manufacturing locally overseas, the delay was on supplies and materials alone. I don't know why it took so long for someone to explain this but I apologize sincerely for the trouble. Anything you need at all, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We have limited staff (and much of our time is spent on development) so we don't answer the phone as diligently at times. Email is best, and if you have any concerns or complaints at all feel free to reach out.
No worries! This happened at the very beginning of COVID and no one really understood the impact at that time. If i could go back i would be more understanding but yeah at the time I was just looking for an explanation. I still love the intake btw, due to this video I’ve had a ton of people buy the same intake (when in stock).
@@AlfaAK101 Totally understand, and we thank you for taking the time to make this video! And thank you again for your patience with us and understanding. If there's anything we can do for you now, feel free to reach out anytime. Great Alfa content, keep churning it out!
The best video I've seen on the V2 intake. Great content
deezznts thanks bro! I appreciate that, yeah i do i have a video on that as well, check it out. I’m coming out with more videos on the Giulia so make sure to subscribe 🙏🏽
Good video, you demonstrate the sound perfectly!
Jesse B thank you i appreciate that!
Wow I watched this video. And now I want an Alfa Romeo!! PP hard!
Great report.....and very nice car. I have exactly the same model. My Veloce is also white with sunroof, red seats and leather dashboard. Still missing some tuning ..... but still coming.
So cool !
Fatima Ahmad thank you! the star of this video (salima) will provide you with an autograph
Did you have to get it tuned after you installed it? Just ordered mine
Thank you
When I get my Alfa Romeo Giulia I know I’m gonna be looking to get a bit more sound out of the engine I think this intake will be my first modification then a tune I don’t wanna mess with the exhaust but I do want a bit more sounds muffler deletes do not sound too great on this car in my opinion so I guess I’m doing intake downpipe tune
Beautiful car
Samy Petrol thank you!
Would you recommend v4 intake better?
Omg you got the wifey in there tooo 😭😭😭😭 this is so cute. Y’all should vlog
Moby’s Cars & Ventures lol thanks shawty, we actually were going to but la corona hit and life, so our vlogs are postponed until further notice
Agreed man
Yo! just wanted to ask how does your car run, after 3 years of letting it suck in all that hot air through an exposed "cold intake" filter that gets heated by the GDI engine to super high temperatures? - a Giulia owner.
You sound retarded lol it's not a cai and it is too increase air flow no
What exhaust you running my guy?
Great video I got a stelvio was thinking of doing this intake. Love the exhaust sound what is that ? I installed a turbosmart BOV and I get that swoosh sound but I feel like it could be more and louder so maybe with the intake and BOV might just be right. Honestly though I bought the BOV not knowing about this intake. Worse case scenario I install the OEM blow off valve back on and sell the turbo smart.
Thanks! If this intake is sold out and or you don’t want to spend that much you could just switch out that OEM filter for the Spectra filter and you’ll get more of the turbo sound
@@AlfaAK101 I actually upgraded the air filter to BMC, what’s did you do for the exhaust?
@@DylanColombo oh okay. Apparently if you change your filter to the Spectra cone filter it makes more sound. I have the Remus race catback exhaust - i made videos on it, check them out
@@AlfaAK101 I found the spectra cone filters on Amazon, I didn’t know I could just throw on a cone style filter, I would have to remove the oem filter box I guess.
Gnarly!
Sheryar Akbar thanks bud!
Mine took 3 days thankfully. Installed myself along with GFB+. Ofc youre not going to get intake noise round about 1200-1600rpms, the turbo isnt pulling at that rpm. Its great fun in manual to pull at high rpm and get the boost shock with instant acceleration.
Which spoiler was that btw?
Did adding the GFB change any noise or performance?
Thinking about getting the Alfa but wanted to know in ur opinion if it’s worth it to purchase the car. For now I’m heavily leaning towards leasing just due to reliability stories.
ty smith tbh there more reliable then some say. Plus there’s warranty and extended warranty that you can get for cheap. I haven’t had any issues. What year are you trying to get and how many miles
Hey man love your vids! I have a Guilia Ti as well. Have you gotten a check engine light from the V2 intake? I got an Evap sensor error code and been trying to get a fix from Eurocompulsion for over 3 months now and nothing. They won’t even answer my calls... just wondering how your car is doing?
I appreciate that! Hmm what code number is it? I had one check engine light come on, i found out via a Facebook group that i should reach out to them to get a new hose. They replied right away and sent out a a bigger Venturi hose (i think that’s what’s called) i switched that out and the light never came back
@@AlfaAK101 Thanks for the response! The code I got was P1CEA-00 (Boost side EVAP purge system) along with another purge valve code. Weird, when I reached out by phone/email they said they have no fixes at the moment and will update me when one becomes available... it’s been 3.5 months since lol
@@gary8284 the P1CEA code is related to the new and bigger hose. It’s a quick and easy fix. They overnighted that hose to a bunch of people cuz i think we all got that code at once after doing a system update at the dealer or something. Not sure if they ran out or what, but on their site they stated they’ll have that venturi stockpiled and available to send out. The Evap sensor code unfortunately idk what that is.
@@gary8284 We have a new machined evap venturi piece (we've been advertising all over the forum and on our website). Please contact us via email or call. It's been available since November.

Do you have an aftermarket exhaust or is all that sound just from the filter alone??
Caleb Briggs i have a muffler delete. - i posted a video on that too
Hey does that intake increase the cars 0-60? And where did you purchase that carbon fiber spoiler from.
Sal Nicolosi it definitely feel like it does but i haven’t timed before and after. The car feels like it accelerates faster now, more throttle response. The spoiler i got from Madness Autoworks but all the ones on amazon and eBay are way cheaper and really good, i would’ve gotten one of those if i had to buy it myself
Sounds really good , where did u purchase the intake from. How much was it with installation and everything
Sal Nicolosi intake is from EuroCompulsion’s website at $430 but it’s sold out right now. Install was $120. Shouldn’t take more than 1 hr to install so don’t let people over charge you
Did you add a different blowoff or just the intake/muff delete at this point?
No blowoff. Just intake and muffler delete at that time. This intake makes that great turbo noise so no need for a blow off
Still have the muffler delete ? Sounds good ! I need to do it to mine
Andres Delgadillo thanks bro! yup yup still got it and love it. The muffler delete was a great decision
I did resonator and muffler delete. Deep tone on cold start and not much interior drone.
Have you ever thought of getting air bag suspension!?
Nope lol, i wouldn’t mind if the car already came with it but it’s too expensive and the roads are really bad here
did you remap also after the intake installation?
I don’t think so. No one has mentioned remapping after the install
Hey , for this intake do you know what’s the difference between the v1 and the v2 with EuroCompulsion.
Sal Nicolosi V1 is just the colored silicon pipe portion with the OEM/original Alfa Romeo filter. V2 is the entire after market system, the pipe and filter basically all the red parts plus the after market filter
AlfaAK do you have any recommendations for an intake. I already have a euro compulsion exhaust on my car. But there v2 intake is out of order. And I’m trying to find one for my Giulia
@@salnicolosi8667 Yeah euro compulsion is doing a bad job keeping that intake in stock. its high in demand. So i know some people have the afe intake. Also some people started getting the Spectre Performance from auto parts stores or online for around $40 and they replaced the stock intake filter with that and it seems to be running better and sounding better. it has that blow off value sound too
Hey can I put the V2 intake on a regular TI ?
Yup you can put it on any Giulia trim
Heyyyy! Do I know you guys? I just love this video. But, your speed is driving me up the wall. Slow Down!!! 👮
What are your thoughts on a blow off valve?
Apparently it causes a lot of issues in the Giulia
You can just change the OEM air filter to the Spectra air filter and that will give you the turbo sound with no issues
Hi. Did you flash ecu after you installed v2 air intake?
Nope, no need
how come u don’t need to tune
Does the CAI sound get annoying at low speeds? Do you ever get tired hearing it?
deezznts no and absolutely no lol. It sounds so good, there sound at low speeds isn’t too noticeable either but overall i love the sound and I’m always turning down my music and opening the windows to listen to it
Cool...I'm going to get one ASAP then. Thanks for the reply.
deezznts no worries. But good luck tho because it’s sold out :/
Ak’s Alfa & Adventures are there any other intakes we could use since this one is sold out?
Walther Arias there is one called AFE intakes for the Giulia. I’ve seen other people just change the filter to the stock intake system. But right now unfortunately options are limited
Does the intake require any tuning??
Nope no tuning necessary
Did it set off the check Engine Light already?
It did after like a month of having it, it turned out that Eurocompulsion already had a fix for everyone. They sent over a larger venturi hose (i forgot how to spell it) i switched out the old hose and never had a engine light since
@@AlfaAK101 oh man! Well I got an AFE and I got the light. So I called them. I’m still waiting. Good to know that we can share our experiences. I appreciate it! Love you car. I have the same one but with the Nero Edition. I also did some tricks to it.
@@realestate3059 i appreciate that! Oh that’s what’s up man. Hopefully they resolve it, but tbh i heard about people’s AFE intake giving them engine lights and it didn’t go away so they got rid of it but hopefully yours gets solved
@@realestate3059 i bought the V2 2 years ago no issues until I took my car in for service. After they flashed my car with an update it though my car turbo out of "equilibrium" due the flash changing the boost pressure parameters in the turbo. Been waiting the valve for 2 months now.
Needless to say ALL of my future mods are on hold until I get the valve.
Do you also install a turbosmart bov or that's just the intake making the noise?
Rocco Lucio that’s just from the intake. Personally i think the intake plus the turbosmart BOV would be over kill
@@AlfaAK101 did you install it yourself and if you did how long it took you to do it? I just received my cold air intake v2 and i have the bov also, but alot of people keep saying is an overkill having both on. Also my dealership installs aftermarket parts but they charging me $180 to install the cold air intake.
Rocco Lucio i had a shop install it for $120. Took them like an hour or less i think. 180 isn’t too crazy but call around to performance shops or shops that service European cars and ask if they’ll do it. You can install the V2 with the BOV but if it’s too much uninstall the BOV and sell it
@@AlfaAK101 i trust the dealership that way if they messed something up, and try to void a warranty i can get the excuse that they installed it so they can take care of the issue. But is a trustworthy dealership nothing to have fear.
What bov you got ?
non, the sound comes from the intake
Lmaoo boyyy come to me next time I do it for free. Loco is stupid expensive
Moby’s Cars & Ventures actually wasn’t expensive for the install
You dont got a BOV?
Because a BOV plus this intake is overkill, it would sound bad. This intake produces a lot of turbo spool noise already
Hates on company...but wants to wear their t-shirts 🤣
Jeremy Engleman anything would’ve showed that they were actually sorry for the major delay and not just saying sorry it just to say it. Like a shipping refund, a call, % back, free shit, a damn letter...something
Must be new to buying car parts most are made to order and take a little time
A company should not be expected to give their products away or discount them because of an issue outside their control. I hope they don’t help you out whatsoever. You were not the only one who had their product delayed. Literally everything on the planet that was involved with china got delayed. I waited 3 months for my wheels and it just is what it is.
I wasn’t mad because it was delayed. I was mad because their lack of communication. If they would’ve let me know the reason it was being delayed and or not ignored my calls/emails then i wouldn’t have been mad. It took me multiple tries to get a straight answer from them and on top of that it was because of me they finally put a notice on their site that they had delays due to COVID after I told them they need to be clear with their customers on their site.
