Part: Samco Intake hose for AWP 1.8T motor. (#GOLF-IND)
Car: 2003.5 New Beetle Turbo S
Time: 1hr (With this guide )
Everything went very easy except for pushing down the new Samco hose. The new hose is over all thicker and require some force to get it down there. Regarding performance... I notice very little change. Turbo seem to be pulling faster. Turbo sound is also a little louder (and different tone). Not obvious, but louder if listen and compare.

It's been raining for the past few days. Notice more wheel spin than usual. Maybe Samco. Maybe lead foot.

Overall I'm very happy with the product.
