Intake Questions

Oh well here goes. I'm standing at the top of the slippery slope and I'm losing my grip.  :scared:

I'm considering changing my air intake / filter and need some advice.

What is concidered the best option for a std GTi with DSG ? ( No Zorst upgrade ) Yet  :confused:
What performance increase should I expect?
If I'm going for just a replacement Element, what are the benefits of a complete induction kit ( Pipercross Viper / Carbonio or similar )
Does anything need doing to the ECU ( Map ) if I fit this myself? or is it "Self adjusting"  :ashamed: Skooz my ignorance.
I'm on a tight budget at the moment and don't want to spend over £200. ( I know I'll get tempted to something more than a K&N panel ).
Any comments would be much appreciated guys. Go easy on me please as I'm terified of the long drop I see before me.  :scared:

Greeners:
Strap a parachute on while your at it!  :signLOL:

May as well enjoy the descent!  :grin:

....There are quite a few to choose from, including two new ones which are close to being launched.

I would bide your time and take your time over the decision. It also depends what you wish to achieve longer term. For example, an air intake is better exploited in combination with a performance exhaust and remap. You see how slippery that slope is!!

Oh Dear ... Oh Dear, Oh Dear .....  Iv'e just been looking on the Superchips Website....... I really shouldn't have done that.  :scared: I can see my piggy bank is gonna get raided  :rolleye: Correct me if I'm wrong but would it not be better to go for a re-map first, then an intake, then an exhaust? If I go that route, does the Superchips software have to be recalibtrated for the other mods?..... aaawwwww  noooo, Iv'e done it now.. I'm talking about mods..  :scared: Where's my grippy shoes?

RedRobin:
....

Well it probably is less important if the remap is generic (which I think most of Superchips are - Bluefin?) but if getting a Revo or other remap it's considered best practice to install your exhaust and intake mods first. It's not critical but more settling.
