I'd contact kerma or Malone and get a tune from one of them, that'll get you more power and efficiently. A tune will be the easiest reversible power adder.

Stage 2 tune, malonetuning.com. Responsive and from all reports,
give good service.
Research these forums, there's a LOT of information to absorb.
Like I said before, read the thread at the top of this forum about
cold air intakes. Then I highly recommend this thread:

That'll keep you busy. Lol, then get back to us. TDIs are a different
animal than the gasser world.

If you want a cheaper all around good cold air intake look at AFE intakes. They gain some power and create a nice blow off sound for mk6's. But i would start with a tune before you do that.

Designed to separate people that drive Brodozer trucks from their money. Notice that the claimed performance gains state "up to" XXX performance gains which is a meaningless statement.. https://afepower.com/cold-air-intake-systems
A chip tune would give you actual performance gains with your factory CAI that would put a smile on your face..............

Then leave it absolutely stock. There is nothing to be gained by changing the air intake.
VW will use any excuse to deny warranty coverage. If warranty coverage is paramount ... leave it absolutely stock. Don't touch a thing outside of documented scheduled maintenance.

This. If you want to keep your warranty just drive it and maintain it as VW produced it.
OR
From the info on your "Cummings" youve got alota money to blow so forget the warranty and mod it into a coma with a turbo eater 5000 CAI and a nice Stage 2 custom tune with DPF delete kit with larger turbo. That should eat about $5000 to start. Then a new turbo every couple years there after at $1000 a pop till ya put the factory air cleaner back on.
AND
A guy can also get bag kits or hydraulics to get the oil pan as low to the ground as you can and this would support many spinner wheel options. Maybe some dubs with 235/10-22 bands as well.
Happy motoring and welcome to the club.

For best results, mount behind the ASV valve. When it grenades, it will pass harmlessly through you engine and turbo hot section and be vaporized in your DPF during the next regen.

let me get this straight, you want a CAI for MPG gains, but then you also want wider tires for what? looks? handling?
You're two statements are counter productive, but at least a nice set of wheels will actually do something as you can look at them way more than a CAI,
That being said, you can prob find some VW Cadiz which are 19x9 ET50 that will technically fit but are stupid to own.
That being said 17x8 would be a nice meaty wheel that would still offer decent sidewall depending on tire, don't fear going up in size, 26.5" diameter will fit.
Take a look at these, you'll need 5x112 bolt specs, they are pretty common for VWs, pretty much anything that works for GTIs will work on this platform, but be warned they will take an MPG hit.

Not only a MPG hit, but harsher ride, noisier, much more expensive tires with much shorter life. A lot of cons and very little pro.

as for fitting taller rubber, (225-55-17 will be going on the Alltrack next year) that should help with ride but yeah can't do anything with price of 17"
I figure if he's willing to spend money on a CAI, he's willing to spend money on just about anything "cool".

This is the search engine linked at the top of TDI 101, it's my best friend.
Reality is that these car's benefit most in tuning and turbos. The second would be the exhaust and reduction of the back pressure.
At the top of upgrade section there's a whole write-up about the initial modifications and their benefit.
The other post worth reading is the best cold air intake stickied at the top of this forum.

there is no such thing. Only thing that comes close is the swiss cheese mod for your air box but just leave it stock.
here read up on this and dont buy ricer parts that were made to sell at pepboys, use the parts that were made by multi billion $ companies whose job it is to make car parts.
you think you know more about a car part like an air filter then the engineer who made his career on this one part? I THINK NOT.
CAI are a scam, reduce power, damage engine internals, and ruin MAF's

"I don't want to void my warranty. Help me pick a not OEM quality part which will absolutely allow more debris into my turbo and engine. I know all about Diesels- I have a Duramacks"

Guys, I think he meant the Cummings Durex has taught him how to "mod" diesels, so how hard can a TDI be??
Great thread, needed the laughs.
