K&N performance parts are tested for its quality. Why not give it a try? (in reply to techbod) Post #: 5

I also cut a hole in the bottom of the airbox for more cold air. I love it, I love hearing the turbo and I love the power. 97 1.8T Quattro (in reply to mikebart) Post #: 6

I have used one for quite awhile now......no issues at all!

Panel filters are worthless and adding one that you have to oil can actually cause more dirt. Stick to a good paper filter unless you want performance from a cylindrical filter. < Message edited by Obsessed -- 5/23/2007 4:16:55 PM > _____________________________ (in reply to Joeski) Post #: 9

RE: K&N - 8/28/2007 1:47:25 PM    02A4Turbo   Posts: 130 Joined: 8/24/2007 Status: offline From personal experience id just go with an entire intake as opposed to just a filter.. i have a carbonio cold air in my 02 1.8T And i love it.. sounds great, you definetly feel the difference when you step on the gas, looks great obviously, & to go with that its a great set-up cuz its got a heat sheild all around it and im sure anyone with a 1.8T knows the turbo & exhaust manifold is right underneath the intake soo without an enclosed system you can look forward to sucking in hot air..
