Hello,
I have had my Tc for about a year, and am enjoying it a great deal. Very responsive on the road and fun to drive. Question though....has anyone experimented with any cold air intake systems. I am considering installing one on my car. My thinking is that it is a less costly alternative to installing a supercharger or turbo at a fraction of the cost without the need to rebuild the engine. Thanks for the feedback. Any Tc lovers out there?

lol I dont think you should compare a CAI to a SC. Intakes hardly do anything on any kind of car. If anything you will need to get I,H,E to get the full effect. A cold air intake brings cold air into the intake manafold but if thats all you get then thats where it stops. THats where you need to get the headers and exaust to push out the air faster. But even with all that a supercharger would give you more hp
