Great fit, Great fun
I recently ordered and installed the Neuspeed P-flo intake on my MKIV Jetta GLI 1.8T. I have wanted this intake since I purchased the car 9 years ago but have waited until now, and 120,000 miles, to order it. I initially wanted to wait until my extended 6-year powertrain warranty had expired because the VW dealer told me a new intake system would void the entire engine warranty. Not voiding the warranty was important for me because I used this vehicle as a daily driver throughout college and, like most, was a poor college student. After finishing undergrad, my wife was accepted into grad school and thus spending the money on a new intake system was out of the question. Now, she is graduating this week and I am starting my graduate program in the fall so......what a perfect opportunity! Plus, I have been talking to her about wanting an intake and she said she would rather have me spend the money than hear me talk about it anymore - great strategy if anyone is looking to have spousal buy-in. My initial impression of this product was that there was not much to it - it is essentially two air filters and a piece of stainless steel, I knew what was to be expected in the package but was still surprised about the simplicity. The simplicity of the product directly translates to ease of installation. My 7-year old nephew was excited to help me install the P-flo and I can honestly say, he did half of the installation. I disconnected the MAF and took the stock air box out, but he bolted on the MAF to the heat shield and installed the heat shield without my help (albeit with my supervision). Neuspeed is excellent at ensuring their products fit just as well as the OEM parts which surely saves a lot of frustration. I don't have much mechanical experience other than installing 3 exhaust systems and while installing this, I actually felt like I knew what I was doing. The instructions were easy to follow and succinct. After installation I test drove the vehicle and was surprised at how much deeper the tone was of the car than with the stock air box....also, when shifting, there is a nice "whoosh" sound that brought out the 12-year old inside of me! I felt like Richard Hammond in Season 18 episode 1 of Top Gear making "turbo noises" while driving through Italy in a Noble M600. I cannot say at this point that I notice any difference in how the car drives; if there is an increase in HP, it would be hard for me to quantify without putting it on a dyne. Ultimately, I don't care if it adds any power at all because it makes me enjoy the drive. I occasionally track my car to Summit Point in WV and I look forward to racing it for the first time without the restrictions of the stock air box. At this point, I don't have anything negative to say about the product. I look forward to enjoying this product and would recommend it to anyone looking to purchase an intake system for their 1.8T.

**Best Bang for your Buck Ever**
The kit was extremely high quality and easy and straightforward to install and I noticed an immediate gain in low end torque. It not only looks attractive in the engine bay, but helps smooth out the acceleration (even on a stock car) and reduce turbo lag. without a doubt the best [$] I have ever spent on a performance mod.
