Wow! I love the look of the GruppeM unit but $900

Hmmm, AVC-9000 or the GruppeM intake?

Im going the modshack like cogdoc has done.
I just ordered my Apexi air filter on the weekend and i'll be ordering or making my own modshack housing soon.

No need to spend $900

Can't recommend Steve the owner of Modshack highly enough. He obviously loves making up projects, and was happy to e-mail back and forth several times, with a LOT of info and detail. I'm VERY happy with the response upgrade to the TDI, and the induction noise now sounds like a sports car! The housing is very insulated, but I got the extra insulation added as well.

The hardest part is picking a colour, but the good news is I got sent red, white and silver stickers as I asked for only a housing with a hole in the back, and a blank front and to complete the support arm mounting myself. His off the shelf items complete with K&N are a great option, where else do you get a housing made entirely of Phenolic, one of the best insulators known to man. I've tried to buy phenolic before in the past, and it's hard to find!

Another tough choice is the longer, thinner Mickoz style, or the shorter fatter one I got. Both have some clearance issues, and forget putting your engine cover back on with the bigger one like mine unless you mount it lower and cut the cover a bit.

Overall the best bolt on mod I've yet done, now about 8k's in.

This is the nicest cold air intake I have ever seen, I might have to postpone getting the cold air intake and keep saving

Yep, very nice, but certainly not that impossible to do yourself.
Quite a premium over Modshack and similar insulated pods.
Does look dead sexy though!
I recently watched a Carbion GTI intake go for under $200 Au on e-bay USA, and if I didn't already have something would have gone for it.
With the strength of our dollar in the USA, I'd set up a few alerts on e-bay US and sit back and wait.

what is this air intake thing? does it make the car engine cooler or something?

You mean a GTI intake would fit your TDI?
So could a GTI intake be made to fit a TSI?
How similar are they? Anyone know?
