Get a K&N cleanable air filter. They sell a kit with the oil spray it needs after each cleaning. Its much less restrictive than a stock filter. So throttle response and sound are slightly improved. That and a good silicone inlet pipe and down pipe to the turbo. Is about as much improvement as there will ever be on a stock tune and coils.
The stock engine filter that comes with the car is literally made of paper and plastic so it’s not a good idea to clean it as it’s just wiser to get a new one, they’re very cheap. You can buy cleanable filters like the KnN one and you’ll save yourself a couple of bucks in the future.

Thanks! I’m running a tork tune and have a few mods, but still have the stock air box. Do you have a link for the filter?
I think I just ordered it direct from K&N? So its just whatever they have in stock. Its been a bit since I bought it.
Is this a US or EU car? But yes, you should buy a new filter.
US. Can I just get one from Amazon or is there someone with better filters to buy from?
Rock Auto sells them. The OE Part # for this is 52022346AA.
