As of 2024, there just isn't enough support for this platform... Weistec JUST made a CAI, but there aren't: Head bolt upgrade, rod/piston upgrade, which are weak points as mentioned. You'd end up putting a lot of money into something that honestly can be attained by getting a newer vehicle (RS3 with a tune makes around 550-600 with ease). I love my C450, but unless i want to put more money into it than jts worth at this point, it's simply not realistic. I'll stick with 450ish to the wheels with some issues (timing chain, jerky trans) and run it into the ground (or sell it right before) because that makes sense imho. Luckily, as a VW group auto tech, ownership is mad cheap. 😅

The CAI’s that most brands offer heatsoak, since they are right above the engine. Logos offers some that are by the front but most don’t seem worth it. You might get some better sound and throttle response but you are basically sucking hot air into the turbos. From what i know stock intakes with upgraded air filters (K&N or BMC) is the move.

That would depend a lot on the size of the wheels you're trying to fit. A spacer would just make the wheels stick out a bit further, not necessarily give more clearance height wise if the wheels are like 17's or something tiny you are trying to get to fit.

Your best bet might be to try to find your factory intercooler part # and see if it matches the C43/E43. They very likely could be the same unit but at the same time I'm not sure what chassis changes were made to house the 3.5 vs the 3.0. The intercooler itself would definitely work its just a question of whether the mounting points will line up and the intercooler piping will match. If you can get the intercooler itself to line up you could just get some piping fabbed to line up. But sorry I can't say off the top of my head that it would or wouldn't work.
