Default route the intake into your glove box

run your A/C all the time.

Default i was serious...

stick with the oem intake. look where the box is. you're going to have a cone filter right behind your headlight with no airflow, and right above the turbo, so you're just going to suck in hot turbo air.

there is no good intake for our cars. i have a "cold air intake" on my car from previous owner, and it sucks. come to my house and i'll trade you my cold air intake straight up for your stock one, how's that sound?

maybe a carbonio, but thats like $300. Most intakes for the 1.8T suck. Carbonio looks cool though

Default Had anyone figured out a way to fit a cone intake into the engine bay....

that would put it in a better position away from the turbo?

Default do a search on here and you'll see i'm not lying

there is a new carbonio intake out, but it's 300 bucks... and not much is known about it. you can put money in a much better place on these cars.
