Thanks. The only hold up on the larger turbo is $$. From now on, I want to pay cash for my mods, not put them on any sort of charge, so I am saving up for stuff, instead of rushing into it. So, in the mean while, i’ll see what I can do with the VF39.

And yes, the new air filter will gain heat, but from all testing that I did with my neon and datalogging, the heat difference picked up by the intake should be properly addressed by the intercooler. A cold air intake can probalby help, but look what people have done without them. People are making well over 450 awhp without the use of a cold air intake, so it will do just fine for my needs 🙂
