th3_f15t:
It's the panel filter that nets the gains, the intake doesn't really do much apart from look very, very nice. As mentioned, if you can pick one up at a lower price then do it. A full induction kit/open cone filter is only worth doing on the K04 turbo really, the K03 doesn't require enough airflow to warrant a CAI unless you're trying to max it out at about 280-300bhp.

GTI_Kyle:
I had a full CAI fitted to my K03 for about 3 weeks then sold it on & reverted back to a Piperx panel filter due to the loss of low down torque. it is very noticeable & you feel like you have to rev the car more, almost like more turbo lag. Unless you are going stage 2+ I wouldn't recommend one, the loss of torque makes a slower road car
