what should come first.. intake or intercooler?
I just got an '01 A4. I would like to add a little performance, should i start with an intake, or an intercooler? I know i would see more gains w/ an intercooler, I think, but would it make no sense to do so w/o an intake first? Please enlighten me on this situation..
Any suggestions on brands and websites would be appreciated!
Thanks people!

RE: what should come first.. intake or intercooler?
dont know much about a4's, but generally an after market intercooler is bigger. therefore more air is boosted. usually a small drop in boost is to be expected as a result of the bigger area. lower boost can lead to lower hp, but then again lower air temps can lead to higher hp. so i dont know.
but IMO, it all starts with and intake. Carbonio is what all my friends have, but i think a k & n filter will do if you want to cut some costs and buy the intercooler as well. hope this helps some.

I have an Evo motorsports induction system. I would recommend an intake before intercooler just because its cheaper and if your on a stock turbo, the intake will make a bigger difference in your performance plus being about $600 cheaper. Good luck.
