lookig to get an air intake but i dont know if i shoudl get a cold air intake or a short ram. i keep hearing people comeplain about the CAI because of water getting in there. which is the betterone to get?
also ive been looking at the carbonios theyve cought my eye but $400 is a little steep for me... anything recomendations on a good intake system?

 

Aftermarket intakes for our car don't do much to justify the high cost, most of them actually show a decrease in performance ( a couple hp). Carbonio has proven a couple hp gain, but is it really worth the $400? Stick to stock and throw in a different filter.

 

you saying i should should just make a custom air box mod?

 

Carbonio will add maybe 2-3hp, IF. It will also will give you that cool sound. But paying $400 is kinda to much, at least for me )) Intakes on stock 1.8T engine wont do anything but sound. If u want a better sound of turbo, you can put a cone filter and get a heatshield. Also, i remember some b5 guys, were doing so-called Swiss Cheese mod with their stock airboxes
