Yeah a cold air intake on a turbo car is kind of silly as the turbo heats up the air anyways.

 

yeah, cold air intake does not help us at all but now a darintake that helps alot.

 

your buddy is full of crap. Do the chip, if you only have $500 to spend on your car for the life of the vehicle, the chip is BY FAR the best bang for your buck

 

How far, power wise, can you go before you start running the risk of packing in a triptronic transmission? Certainly a chip, exhaust and the intake deal would be reasonable, but beyond that is there a ceiling that I should consider staying under?

 

tell your friend he is an idiot. Get the chip, then exhaust.
worth it!

 

and a tranny chip also
