Time to make some upgrades /need help :)
Hey guys, I'm new to the forum, and I could use a little help.
I have an 08 Audi A4 2.0T AWD, and I am looking to upgrade the intake. I found the
AEM AEM-21-681C Cold Air Intake System, but I was reading that I need short ram, not cold ait intake. is this the same? or are all intakes worded that way?
Any help would be appreciated

Welcome to the boards Glad you were able to find the anti-intake advice via that fabulous search function before someone could flame you for both 
As far as other places to waste money, look into tuning- that's pretty much the best bang for your buck @ ~70hp for $500-$600- and the high pressure fuel pump upgrade- next best bang for your buck @ ~20hp for $400-$500 depending on who you have do it- and anything after that [before a turbo upgrade] starts getting quite costly for nickel gains. The only reasonable gain after the first two is investing in a good exhaust- a high flow cat if you have emissions restrictions, test pipe if not; and bigger piping/high flow resonators and mufflers- which will run you a little over $1k and net 22-25hp. The intarwebs haz lotsa good info on all of the above; just poke around, do some research, ask questions, find what you like and do it
