    trying to get more air in that 3.6 fsi, wondering if it is useful to get a cold air or something just to get it breathing a little more, another thing anyone know where i can find an aftermarket exhaust, cant seem to find one on any major exhaust site, thanks cheers

    You are not gonna get a lot of gains out of just exhaust or CAI. There is not going to be much if at all available for that motor since there is no demand for performance stuff for it.

    I have a K and N air fileter that I used for about 3 months if you are interested.

    Which once it gets applied to all four wheels in a Touareg it is probably not very noticeable anyway. Probably looking at less then 300 at the wheels after you factory in the whole drive line. B6 is only driving the front wheels.

    Make that two. I'll part with mine as well. I'm going to put the OE intake filter back in before I trade it in next month. No sense in giving the dealer a perfectly good K&N

    Why not keep it for your TDI Cayenne? I would bet it has the same air box.

    2013 US-spec Cayenne diesel is supposed to have the next generation 3.0 diesel. Airbox doesn't even appear to be in the same location as on my 2011 Touareg TDI. So I don't have confidence that this K&N will even fit the Cayenne. Go here http://www.myturbodiesel.com/forum/f...ormance-14743/ click the photo. It will open to a series of photos that include under-hood views.

    I will be curious as to what you end up getting. The filters have been the same on all of them regardless of what motor was under the hood. My filter in my TDI was the one I had in my VR6 04 Treg. The V8 and V10's utlized the same filters as well. They could have changed it though, but going by previous track record I would be surprised if they did.

    You may be correct, I'll know in about a month. If the K&N proves not to fit the Porsche, it's up for sale. Same with my VCDS cable. Ross-Tech will only say they "don't support" use of their VCDS on the Cayenne diesel. But they won't go so far as to say that it won't work. I hope it does, cuz the Durametrics cable for Porsche costs twice as much
