In a short, don't bother. They're a waste of time and money on a TDI and have been dyno proven to be detrimental to not only the performance but they also remove some of filtration qualities of the OE paper filters which in turn destroys the MAF and peppers the inside of your engine with nasty abrasive silicates.

You can read all day long the pros & cons  on this if pipercross /ramair made these knowing  they  screwed up your engine they would be out of business  sued
I have a remapped  tdi and currently run a ramair panel filter it's definitely runs  better on a remapped  car to stock filter  i also run a cold air feed pipe direct into the air box  :grin:
