you only need it if you want to hear your turbo, theres no reason to get rid of your stock airbox performance wise unless your going above 4-500hp. just get a cone filter and a silicone intake hose and put your MAF between the two.

I know some people on here say not to wast your time on them, but I really like the one that I got from EuroSport Tuning. It has a new tube for your MAS, and the intake tube pulls in air from just under your headlight. Yes you can hear your turbo, and it does make the exhaust note more aggressive. When you look at all it comes with, its a pretty good deal.

Are you turbo'd? If so you will LOOSE performance unless you build a heat shield to block the hot air from the turbo. If you don't you will be sucking in hot air that surrounds the turbo thus loosing power and wasting money.
