Pricey but;

Forge Twintake, ITG Maxogen & Evoms Intake systems are the best rated for the Tfsi (In no particular order)  I know the ITG & Forge definately have product reviews on here to help you decide. . .

I've no experience of it sorry.  Someone else on here must have.  Ive had;

Carbonio (Looks great, not much gain and not upto stage2+),
Dbilas (well built but heavy, uses small K&N panel filter in a force fed airbox.  One of the quieter intakes)
ITG Maxogen (My favourite so far, andy jackson @ ITG was very helpful.  They have a great reputation in motorsport.  loudest of the inlets and logs show great airflow)

I have a forge twintake for a k03 off my Leon Fr 1 week old unsure if it would fit your golf but much cheaper than new.
