im looking for the best intake i can buy for 150 to 200 dollars, and get the best hp gains.

 

your really not gonna get much hp from an intake having a turbo. I have a neuspeed p-flow, shipped for like 165. maybe 5 hp gain.

 

I'm hoping with a 225 maf or the modshack **** this will provide me smoother response from the turbo(less lag)

the **** will make 1st gear alot smoother. I have one too and their TTDA which will help you not lose HP in the summer by bringing in air from a cooler location than right at the engine. CAI's dont really give much hp gain but one that draws air from a cooler location will keep you from losing alot of HP in the summer.

 

yeah, best thing to do though if you want to keep temp down is a fmic. havn't gotten one but will def need it when i upgrade my turbo

 

I have a K&N intake on my 180, it doesn't give a great performance gain (5hp) but it certainly makes the car sound great. It was cheap as well, only 90 something...

 

My bro has a injen cai on his, it is so freakin loud, its awesome!!

 

if your serious about your tt then get the modshack.info ttda and your notice a big difference from stock and in the summer it will help keep hot air out its around $225 with the good stuff and well worth it!
