check to see if the timing belt and water pump have been changed... if not recently I would do that before anything... if a timing belt breaks on ya its gunna do all kinds of damage.. I know from experience.

Welcome. I say you use the money to do some maintenance first. Fix whatever needs to be fixed before you start modifying it. That's just what I would do though. Do as you wish.

Definitely fix things first. I didn't with my 92 GTI and now it's dead thanks to the timing belt. It's a lot better to have a running car than a decoration in the driveway.

I would do some maintenance on it first like everyone has said. Even if they said it just had an oil change and stuff. I would do it again just for my own piece of mind. I would change the oil, tranny fluid, brake fluid, flush the coolant, etc.

an intake manifold wont yield you any increase in performance on a stock motor. if you're gonna start modifying you should go with the basic bolt-ons : intake | header | high flow cat | and exhaust. it'll reduce restrictions on airflow giving you better overall gains.
