Hi there,

I have an 2004 a4 quattro 1.8t, i Unitronic chipped it and put a blow off on it. What kind / brand of intake should I put? I want most performance possible...

On the APR website it says they recommend Carbonio cold air intake...
APR - High Performance Development for Audi Vehicles

It looks pretty and its expensive .. but.. it looks like an air box replacement ????

I want most hp possible... what should i get ?

THanks

 

by the way what i put is not a blow off but a forge hybrid valve

 

Dont bother, the stock cold air intake is well known to be very low restriction- the aftermarket ones make little improvement, if any, and apparently some are very bad letting water in.
Yore better off spending your money elsewhere - eg.: , catback exhaust, upgraded intercooler, etc.

 

all i have is the K&N airfilter and APR cat back 3" exhaust....im happy

 

well i too have a K&N air filter and it work very fine with 2004 a4 quattro 1.8t, you can opt for one

 

Better opt for catback exhaust, upgraded intercooler, insted of intake system

 

the stock one is the best option unless you want to pay for the carbonio one. Just take a look at the turbo sitting next to the airbox, if you put an intake then you need to get heatshield.

 

Got another Carbonio question here...I see they advertise that it eliminates the need for a secondary air pump. I'm guessing their airbox does not have a secondary air hose going to it, but does this mean you can lose the pump, combi valve etc on a 1.8T? Does this not set engine lights? Hope someone can explain it to my dumb ***!

 

anyone?

 

im told the drop in K & N with OEM air box is best for the TT
