No, that's not correct concerning the K&N. That's an invalid blanket statement and plenty of data on this very forum to show otherwise. Stop with your SHO, it's irrelevant to this discussion. It's a completely different engine/setup/controller.
I'm very familiar with what E30 can do. Again, your SHO is irrelevant to this discussion. Just because someone was able to squeeze out 25-26 degrees of timing on ethanol, doesn't mean you're going to realize anything from it, aside from too much cylinder pressure. Ringlands? Pfft... Who needs those? Not only that but because it works on your TT V6, it must somehow work like magic on a turbocharged I4, right?
Has nothing to do with forcing me to run anything nor would I be ignorant enough to want to. It's a recipe for disaster and so is your statement that you "found a sweet spot".

Honestly It depends on how much you want to spend. These cars aren’t worth that much now, so modding them has to be a labor of love for them. You will gain very little between spending $45 on a drop in k&n filter, over a full cai or short ram that costs $200. If you want to be practical then get the drop in. If you want looks or more turbo noises plus about 3-4hp then go the other route. If you go cold air make sure you get a hydroshield to keep from sucking water when it’s raining heavy.

I second the hydroshield, i have the zzp intake (fits like ass) the filter is in the fender well, after rains it would start hard and want to die, installed a hydroshield and the issue was gone.
