my 1999 A4 has 160000miles and is in dire need of a new air filter. I'm in the process of putting the head back on with a new water pump and belts etc and thought it would be a good time to put on a cold air intake while the front clip is off. do you have a recommendation? or will it make a difference?

 

engine?

 

Sorry, 1999 A4 quatro 1.8T

 

Dont change the box the oem is the best one you can get unless u wanna spend like $300 best thing to do is a drop in k%n filter and leave it alone and dont put alot of oil on the filter just very little

 

I put a cone filter on the end of my MAF and DIY'd a heat shield. Not as good of a "ram air" setup as the OEM air box but it sounds cooler lol.

 

The K&N filters come pre oiled. Do not add more oil to the already oiled filter.

 

Thanks everyone. I pick up the K&N tomorrow. I hope to be able to hear the turbo better.

 

I wouldn't go K&N... Amsoil please. Long life without oil that gets on my MAF.

 

one way to hear the turbo is to cheesebox the factory box we'll tell you how how after you get your drop in

 

I would love to hear about that!
