Running an induction kit will help, have a look at the toyosports ones on ebay but run a better quality filter.

My 1.8t used to flutter,quickly becomes very annoying tbh, I run a pipercross cone , I changed the standard valve for a forge 008 and now get a nice ptish, turned out my standard valve was fubarred the diaphragm was holed so maybe the flutter is not a good thing.

some people just put the cone on the MAF but you will get heat soak so you need a shield of some kind on it
 the alternative is the Toyo one but it sits behind the bumper so any large puddles and you risk water on the filter
 if you have a standard dump valve you won't get much ' blow off' anyway, get a forge 007p with appropriate spring (yellow on a stage 1 I think)
ARZ K03s, Oettinger Side Skirts, R32 front, Carbon stage 2, Forge 007p (yellow spring), Forge Actuator (yellow spring), Pipercross panel filter with DSG parts, N249 and N112 deleted, SAI deleted, Carbon canister deleted, Rear wiper deleted, Long Life turbo back custom exhaust with 200 cell sports cat, VR6/G60 clutch kit, Creation Motorsport TIP, Catch can, 'Wellycooler', K04 charge pipe, S3 ported inlet manifold - looks pretty standard on the outside though :)
