What have you done to your car already? Since you were asking about a BOV and now intake, I think you might want to start by asking where your money might be better spent.

So affordability means wasting money? More =/= better. You don't need an intake yet just as you didn't need a BoV. You should start researching before you spend any more cash.

after you have made sure all maintenance and tune ups are completed with the car and it is in tip top shape, the best dollar value mod you can do is tune it.

CAI's at best are worth nothing for horsepower on these cars, at worst, they cause problems. The airflow characteristics of most CAI's cause problems from the MAF, and frankly the factory airbox is pretty well designed.
Your best money spent is on a Cobb Accessport. It's not even comparable
