about £300 for the intake but you will gain a bit of power if you have a remap

on a standard map it will make little to no difference at all though

The filters are much of a muchness. I fitted the K&N to mine and havent had any issues at all with it. Some people are bit funny about fitting oiled filters for fear of causing damage to the maf. I have used oiled filters in all my cars and never had an issue. Oil is only a problem when too much is applied once its been cleaned.

I've got a K&N on mine and back to back with a standard GTI on a dyno day made +7bhp. Definetly improves throttle response too  :happy2:
