Your car came from the factory with a cold air intake.

There are no aftermarket cold air kits for the 2nd gen.

On ebay you can buy a maf adaptor the bolts on the maf are M6 X 1.0 pitch it is a 3" cone filter that fits it.. By removing the stock air box there is a hose to the air pump... I've seen sent ups to put a small breather fliter on the air pump

I bought the maf adoptor and the cone filter for 20 bucks 65 cents for the bolts.. The maf kit comes with a plastic gasket for the maf..

I will say noticeable differance in an N/A

If you don't mind doing some cutting, you can get one of those MAF adapters and some 3" pipe and relocate the cone filter just above the brake cooling duct. You have to relocate the washer fluid reservoir and cut out just enough of the metal around where the washer fill tube went through to fit the 3" pipe. I also cut out the top of the brake cooling duct for more airflow, but the filter gets dirty really fast now.

Or simply use a cone filter and build the cold air box around the stock cold air intake snorkel.
