Most intakes for the Jetta just sit in the engine bay - any filter on a stick type intake will just suck in hot air. There are some models that sit below the front bumper or fender but then you need to watch for deep puddles or you will hydrolock. If you have an FMIC that can help the intake temps, but I would say keep the stock box and drop in a K&N filter for the most flow and the least amount of heat soak and trouble.

For engine management, unless you have big turbo and are going to drag or track it with stand-alone engine management just start just a 4bar FPR and a chip. Talk to Rennwagen1 about getting Revo.

I assume you have an MKIV? What are your current mods? What are your performance goals?
