You get what you pay for...and performance and reliability don't come cheap.

Stick with the proven name brands of aftermarket products for your upgrades. They should all have been discussed many times on these forums. You can use your newly discovered info to make your decisions.

I prefer HKS (check my sig) but I respect alot of products from AMS, Vishnu, Works, Perrin.

All of the above have what you want, and more.

You may consider RS-R catless downpipe. It's cheap and fits surprisingly well.

Its a true cold air intake. It puts the filter in the front fender. I had the HKS and im glad I changed! Check out their website:http://www.airpowersystems.com.au/products_usa.htmlVery good craftsmanship.

Um, please don't get mad, but read this.

A true cold air intake is kinda pointless on a turbocharged car. Why, when a turbo spools, it produces boost (compressed air). That air is heated from the compression and also from the radiant heat from the exhaust housing and trubine.

You, we, us, run an intercooler to get the charge air closer to ambiant temperature. The cooler the temp of the intake charge, the more oxygen it can hold, and you make more power.

But, even your temp difference from a true cold air vs the HKS couldn't possibly be enough to feel on the butt dyno (ie seat of the pants driving impressions)

It is my opinion that a "true cold air intake" is more a "hot air" marketing ploy than a viable power producing product.

FYI: Normally aspirated vehicles benifit far greater from a cold air intake than a short ram intake; where as forced induction had a reduced benifit.
