Thanks for the heads-up Silver00TT, fixed the link (and checked that it is working).
LOL, I know what you mean about compulsive!
I have also thought of putting the OEM airbox back and using a drop in filter. I originally opted for the unrestricted cone since it promises greater gains. I will wait on some feedback from you before making any changes. Follow through with some pics when you have it installed, it will be good to see.

I will include some pictures as soon as Im done installing the CAI. I received my new Hyperboost HX Diverter Valve from
www.stratmosphere.com yesterday and installed it about 15 minutes ago.......I just got back from taking the car out on some runs with the new Diverter Valve in......Results are to follow but i'll talk about the install process first. It was extremely easy, our OEM valve is located just under the right hand top corner of our engine cover. Our OEM valve is plastic, and a piece of crap. The new Diverter valve took about 15 minutes for me to install (Im no car mechanic either)
After taking it on about 4 runs I have come to the conclusion that I do not notice anymore turbo lag, so my main objective was accomplished. This was a Recirculating Diverter Valve as opposed to an Atmospheric blow off valve that produces that Wooooooosh sound we all get excited to hear. With the valve I bought it takes any of the wasted exhaust that would normally be blown off and recycles it through the system, supposedly this is the only way to go with the 180 TT because the car would stall at lights and buck wildly if I didnt recirculate the waste. So in conclusion, I think this was a wise investment of $159.00 and would rank the service I received from
www.Stratmosphere.com at about a 9......They were extremely helpful and knowledgeable on the TT.
Hey Kelvin what are you running as a Diverter Valve or Blow off Valve?
