Question Stock Air filter Replacement?

S5 13BT Can you buy any Replacement pod filters with piping allowing the connection of the maf sensor and the exsisting hoses etc for it?
If so any links to where i might be able to get my hands on one?

Corksport.

But you will want to go a step further and build a complete cold air box for that filter, otherwise the benefit is negated by sucking in hot air.

The stock TID is the main reason to replace the intake on a TII. It has multiple bends that end up restricting airflow. A nice direct pipe between the AFM and turbo improves the turbo's breathing characteristics.

You can take a look at what I used here: https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generation-specific-1986-1992-17/diy-cold-air-box-830116/
