Hi quick question
 
Hey guys and girls! I was wondering if me buying a cold air intake from K&N be a bit too much for my engine? I have a 1.8L Turbo. Would that be too much air getting into the engine? Im afraid that if I have too much air getting into my engine it might cause an internal fire. Any ideas? Should I buy the cold air intake or no? [&:]

theres no such thing as too much air coming in! your engine breathes just like a living hting, so the easier it breathes the better! a k&n or whatever brand you choose cold air would be fine. you may want to consider a short ram intake as well if you havent thought about that one

Get the cold air.....but not the ram air...i dont think...the 1.8t run really hot under the hood...you want cold air not hot air.......but yea it.

cold air intakes are for non turbo or supercharged cars. I bought an intake for my car and it sits where a cold air would go and I did notice less turbo lag etc.. but its more of a fresh air intake for the 1.8t so I would say go for it.
