Hi all.

Im looking to buy an air filter very soon. Ive seen soo many and they all offer the best performance :rolleyes: but i cant choose!

Theres a few things i was hoping to get cleared up as well. Firstly ive seen some TT's with 2 filters and some with only one. Would this be because of an intercooler?

Secondly Ive found a nice Apexi universal fit but i dont know what the diameter of the inlet pipe is (Apexi say it will fit 3" pipes with the adapter.

The HKS mushroom filters are cheaper but ive heard bad things about them on other cars!

Apexi seem to have really good feedback but i dont know what adapter i would need to fit it!

Can somebody just point me in the right direction. Im on a limited budget of £60 atm!

Stick with the stock box mate, if you have to have an aftermarket filter then i would go apexi :)

I should add that im doing the TT conversion In january so would it help to go for a filter or just stick with an uprated element?

I would get a good uprated element and keep the stock box

Standard element, in standard box.
