I have a '00 93 Aero 2.0T (205bhp). I'm thinking of getting a cold air intake for it but I have read alot of reviews saying that it causes turbo flutter, which in turn can put alot of pressure on the turbo unless you get an uprated bov. I am a bit hesitant in getting an uprated bov as I don't want too loud a ****st sound.
Also, if I get a universal cold air intake, like a pipercross universal one from halfords, would it cause my check engine light to come on, as I have read that happens also. Only reason I am looking at the universal intakes is they are 44 euro vs 130 euro from elkparts.com
Appreciate any help.

I'm not too familiar with over-the-pond cars. Is yours a T7 or a T5? If it's a T7 than you can't have a BOV since it uses a MAF. You could use a universal CAI as long as you do not introduce any leaks after the MAF.

I have installed the CAI but there is only half an inch of clearing between the stock air hose and the drive belt. I have tried looking for an elbow or hose kit but I cannot find one. Can anyone help?
definitely reconsider the cold air intake. i have the rrm sri in mine and i really love it. i live in main, so if flooding did occur, i got the sri to not take any chance's in gulping in any water in the event of that happening.

Hi, I just used a 25mm wide piece of silicone pipe I had lying around and sliced the end to fit into the old airbox securing points, placed the CAI on top and it cleared the belt nicely. Stayed put until I wrapped the car around a farmers fence post!
it depend on the intake you will purchase to. the aem air cold air intake will give your ride more horsepower and torque to help you outperform everyone on the road. It can even increase your MPG rating, improving your vehicle's fuel efficiency.
