Default B5 A4 1.8T (2000) - Intake

mlay I hate the stock intake box, the thing is rediculous. I want to replace it simply b/c it is hard to access and replace the filter. I grabbed a dry-flow cone air intake and wanted to do some type of ram-air setup. I heard cold-air intakes are dumb to do b/c if any water gets into it you lose your turbo. Has anyone done an intake, esp cone?

I want some pictures and an explenation and some tips!!!!!

btw i searched AW and didnt come up with anything good

you could take it apart and just shove the cone on the end of the maf, but u will get some heat soak and it is probably not worth it, i would just cut up the air box to let more air in

That's why I would be doing a dry-flow Ram-air intake

get an intake that comes with a heatshield, evoms sells them. but so ive heard youre best bet is the carbino set up, its spendy though. but for the 1.8t you have a bunch of options
