Default for 1.8t... evolution and lltek sell an intake kit, or you can custom make one (see Ray Khan's post)

from today. He's got a 1.8t, i think he said the "kit" cost him $65. Much cheaper than evo's $280.

As for advantages, more cold air into the engine is a good thing. Our 2.8 brethren gain more than us 1.8t boys. A couple more hp, depending on if you can keep the air cold enough... i think blackknightb5 has a cool setup with the heat shield wrapping.

Default keep in mind those intakes really really aren't cold air intakes

they will probably take in more hot air, if anything. For a real cold air, you'll have to go custom with tons of heat shielding and probably a different intake location.

Default Or you can run this:

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/41261/headlightout.jpg"></center><p>Imo this is true cold air with a ramming effect

the filter is conviniently right in front of the headlight opening.
