My vote intercooler... neither are going to give you huge gains, and an intercooler can give better gains 1) by keeping or lowering intake temps and 2) preventing the onset of heat soak on back to back pulls and or towing.

If you are having the shuddering issue I'd say go for the CAC. The CAI is not going to gain really any power, but you will be able to hear turbos better.

I'm buying the FullRace cat-back today.

I haven't had any shudder or fall on the face issue with condensation, but doesn't mean I wont. Leaning toward the wagner just to be safe

I say Wagner IC but I may be slightly biased as well. :-)

If you do pull the trigger on the IC though, now is the best time simply cause of the sale running are doing for $790 shipped to lower 48 which will prob only last another couple weeks before going back up to regular price of $990.

I sure wish either Wagner or FullRace would get on the ball and get the IC ready for the 13s.
I wanna be the first 13 with full bolt-ons! Unless i'm to late.

I'm at tunes CAI (if you even call that a mod) and just ordered the FullRace catback. Waiting till they make the IC that works with the 13s BOV. Then I'm gonna get those Kooks down pipes. So me and you are having a mod race.

LMFAO
Is the 35R on the GTi or the TT?


NEXT MOD
I would do downpipes/exhaust if you haven't already. Next I would get a tuner then an intercooler.
