Answer:

Almost any after market auto parts store should have access to a cold air intake for your Jetta. Like the other person indicated, they range in price based on quality and manufacturer from about $150 to $300. They are relatively easy to install considering you are just replacing the stock air induction system with one that is more efficient. There are a few parts you will need to swap over to the new system so be careful not to break anything and remove electrical connections carefully. A cold air intake will help get a little more fuel air mixture into your combustion chambers thereby making more power. However, it is not going to make your Jetta a fire breathing race car. Much more extensive modifications are needed to significantly increase your horsepower: such as fuel delivery, cylinder head, exhaust or some type of forced air induction system,
If Batman can take doen superman with his investments and and knowledge of science then he can take down Iron Man
Don't do it if the Jetta is your daily driver. The power gains will be negligible and you will be risking hydro lock every time you drive through a puddle.
A cold air intake draws in cool air from around the grills of the engine, Why get a cold air intake? Cool air is more dense than warm air, so when your engine sucks in air, if its warm air, your not gonna get a big bang when the spark ignites, as when you have cool air it will be dense in the cylinder and the bang will give you alot more power. Check OKorder or google shopping they run for abour 80.00 to 200.00 for a good one. It replaces your stock air box. Its definitly a recomended upgrade.
I would say Batman because, If the Kryptonion Battle Armor that he used against Superman doesn't work. Then he has the HellBat suit which he used against Darkseid.
