If you have a 1.8T you'll get 0 hp; if 2.8, maybe a few...less than 10 though

Default on your car... you'll probably free up less than 5 hp but......

once the list grows, and your engine mods grow, the hp that your intake frees up will grow

but 500 is a little pricey..... check out different companies... definately compare first

Default i have to disagree with you there

it will increase intake temps, wich is very dangerous for our motors, esp if you are chipped.
if you live in an area with a cold climate go for it, otherwise id skip it. at least until you have a better intercooler to cool the intake charge back down

i had BIG problems with mine, but with the new IC and revised intake design it is running great

even when sucking hot air in, it still makes more power, it just has detonation problems
