This. You can even just cut up a conventional air filter from target or something and throw it on there. Better than nothing. But the mk3.5 - mk4 ones are plug and play, and relatively cheap.
Pros: plug and play, relatively cheap
Cons: better than nothing
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Out of an independent test the K&N filter earned 2nd in the least amount of particulates, with the stock filter material containing 498 particulates vs. 501 for the K&N.
Pros: less particulates than stock
I purchased a K&N air filter and cleaning kit for $50 shipped. This alone will last the life of the vehicle.
Pros: lasts life of vehicle
Only engine mods is a K&N filter...Highway, I have seen as high as 31mpg.
Pros: high MPG on highway

I also changed spark plugs, oem bosch are not to expensive at any parts place. I changed the air filter to a K&N, I am running motul diff and engine oils now.
Pros: easy to install
Just arrived from ECS, I installed my smoked tail lights on my '08 wagon. Has the Euro version rear fog. When signaling they change from red to amber when blinking, unlike the US version is always red. And the internal housing of the lights that are normally chrome are blacked out. Love'em.
Pros: amber signal, blacked out housing
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Never a problem with my K&N dropin, it was rather "dry" when installing it. Performance gain? Honestly, don't know..., seems my butt dyno feels a little more free breathing.
Pros: no problems, feels more free breathing
Cons: uncertain performance gain
Vehicle:
Audi A6
Plugs, Coils, Maf, Front 02 sensor have been changed, I am not running motor mounts of any kind, my car feels so Unsmooth compared to other 1.8t´s I have driven this only seems to happen under low load... you can feel the cabin vibrate... not a lot but defenetely the steering wheel, pedals, shift knob. and the car seems to stop and let go, stop and let go (jerky) whenever I let go off the gas pedal in gear... it feels so unsmooth!!!
Cons: unsmooth, cabin vibrate
