Default not worth it preformance wise unless its really going to be a cai...

a regular intake just sucks hot air up and maybe flows 5% better...if you have some limited equiptment you can build a pretty kick *** one that really will do cold air

Default Isn't the Jetta a transverse layout? Your A4 is longitudinal.

I'm not sure those kits will be compatible. If the Jetta is transverse, you're out of luck.

Make one, but it takes patience to make it pick up cold air, and a really complex turbo inlet pipe
