The Neuspeed P-Flo intakes are CARB legal. They don't add any hp, all an intake does on a 2.0 is make noise. All MK4 VW's use the same panel filter and my friend is using the stock airbox on his 500+hp turbo R32 so there's no way the stock airbox is a restriction on a 2.0. No restriction = no gains when swapped out for a "better" part.
If you just want more aggressive engine noise you could either cut / "swiss cheese the lower airbox:
![]()
Or you could install a deck plate into the bottom of your airbox which would let you thread the plug back in if you ever change your mind or have trouble passing emissions.
![]()
Either mod would be done to the bottom of the airbox so it would be invisible to MVI inspectors which makes it CARB legal right?
