Hey BuddyDog, thats a very tidy looking package and makes alot of sense to insulate the filter from the heat of the engine compartment. I had not seen that and being out here, we are not spoiled for choice. Pity I did not see this when I was looking to buy! I have still not managed to fit the cool air hose but it looks like I may be able to send it down between the battery and the compartment wall but at a tight squeeze. I think I will have to flatten the hose slightly to achieve it.
After recently replacing the MAS I am concerned that the filter taking air from the compartment is not a good idea. The workshop foreman said that the MAS is quite sensitive to heat and installing the K&N may have contributed to the failure of the first one. I am not convinced about this but dont want to go replacing yet another one, they are not cheap (as if anything on this car is). I am recently feeling similar engine roughness & slightly lower power response and wondering if I am already heading that way. Any thoughts on this?

That's the beauty of the TTDA, as it insulates the air into the MAF, so you don't run into heat soak if you plumb it to run cooler air.
try looking in the TT discussion groups at
www.audiworld.com for postings by Steve Schwing. If your K & N is the same size as he puts into his TTDA, maybe you can just go with his housing and use your existing K & N.
Cheers!
