1. I probably wouldn't bother with an air intake - the stock airbox is pretty good as is and the hp gains from the CAIs available is moderate.
2. If you're looking for performance, I'd start with suspension and a chip instead. Neuspeed for suspension bits is a good bet - you can do sport springs and bilstein dampers for under $750. For chips, there are several manufacturers out there and all provide similar performance numbers - its a matter of what extras you want with it - such as different settings, socketed, flashed etc. Start at Wetterauer and work from there.
3. ECS is a good source for parts, as is
www.stopshopanddrive.com,
www.parts4euro.com, and be sure to check out the group buys on sites like
www.b5one.com,
www.passatworld.com/forums, and
www.sflb5.com.
4. For good tech advice, check those same sites as well as
www.dub-tech.com - very knowledgeable people there as well as here.
5. Enjoy that Passat.
