Shingoblade-GSR IS RIGHT...

Basically wut he is tryin to say is that a 1.8 engine does have the suckin power or need for the air that a "Ram Air" forces through as u accelerate. Cars like transams and mustangs ect... bigger motors need it.

If i were you i would just get an Comptech Icebox. I would definitly not get the V2 or any kinda cold air intakes do to the hydrolockin business. The Ice box is great becuase it gives the filter access to cold air with out it physically ever having to be near the turn signal also the the tubing is shorter meaning you dont have to sacrifice any high end power for the cold air EX. (AEM CAI). Matter a fact im orderin the ice box in a couple of days my self.
