Ok so I've searched this forum as well as Google the best I could and am yet to find any useful information about upgrading the intake. Most are pointing to a K&N filter, which seems pretty pointless to me. Well considering all the problems people have been having with MAF, and it letting more crap into the engine doesn't really appeal to me. More flow=more crap.
I wanna upgrade to a Milltek exhaust, but can't do that without upgrading the intake. If I can suck more air in and push it out with less restrictions, then the 1.8T doesn't have to work as hard to create the same amount of power. If it doesn't have to work as hard, this also means more distance you get per tank.
So intake ideas, anyone? I was thinking of maybe getting a larger filter housing from a larger engine, say a 2.0 or something?
