Definately.....
on my 97, the stock air box only had the scoop that ran to the front as the air inlet (it didn't have the flap that the newer cars have)
I have the TAP setup, and added a heat shield. I did some testing with a VAG-COM and found that by adding a heat shield, the intake temps were close to stock levels (within a few degrees)
The ideal setup would be the stock airbox, with a 2.5" - 3" hose running to it from the bumper grill area.
But I'm not sure if you'd get that great sound that you get with a cone intake
