I am thinking of replacing the 16v in the Jetta at some point and want to use this as a way to list all the shit that is needed in one place for the conversion.

I need a new set of filters for the Jetta as the ones I have (Pipercross) are being sucked into the trumpets and are killing power and driveability.
