Default What intake...

I bought a 99' z28 a4 car and after I purchased the car I noticed it was leaking oil profusely! After doing research on this site I had discovered what I believe my problem was. My oil pressure sending unit was broken into two pieces. Now that being said to replace the part I had to completely remove my intake. My car has a smog delete and egr delete and everyone I have come into contact with says go ahead and find an intake to replace the stock with its a quick easy mod to do especially since mine is already off now. My problem is that I don't really have enough evidence or really a good general idea of where to start. Any help is greatly appreciated and this car is going to be a daily driver at some point it's a project now. I'd really love to find out a good road to start down with this car.

Depends on what you want out the car. Ls6 is the best bang for the buck. You can find them around 300 350 used. Get a ported throttle body and that's a very nice upgrade. If you want more, then look in to the fast 92mm or 102mm. The 102mm will require a cpl more things to bolt on.

Those things snap so easily, guess its either the LS6 or pony up for the Fast. I recommend the 92mm, direct swap.
