what are you paying 250 for... and what are you paying 500 for?

evoms cai is like 250 im sure lltek is like 200 and a giac chip is around 500. i know what he asked for im just trying to help him better his money. cai dont do things like they do for other cars ok. like u have all said before the stock setup audi uses is good and i think should be messed with last when ur lookin to mod.

off the shelf intakes are garbage. I had the lltek one and had noticable losses. Then I routed the filter down behind the foglight (im 99.5 so no secondary air pump), and there was a little improvement over stock, not very noticable though.

I haven't seen one on the audi's, but to improve emmsions on our project snowmobile at school, we hooked up a secondary air pump to pump air into the exhaust just before the catalytic converter. This helps light the cat and raise the egt in the cat making it more efficient. I'm not sure if this is how it works in a car though...I'm just glad I dont have one on my car
