APR 15-26 Audi/Volkswagen EA888.3/EA888.4 (MQB) 1.8T/2.0T Open Carbon Fiber Intake System

The APR Open Carbon Fiber Intake System is the ultimate intake system for the 1.8T/2.0T Engine! We've maximized performance and sound dramatically by reducing pressure drop and increasing airflow. This translates to more horsepower and torque, and less physical strain on the turbocharger. The system looks great, sounds amazing, and produces more horsepower and torque you can feel.Our beautiful carbon fiber intake system does away with the closed airbox design and uses a massive 7" washable and reusable cotton filter with a frontal inlet and 4" rear outlet. This was necessary to limit pressure drop across the factory system and maximize airflow, while allowing you to fully hear the engine breathe! The massive filter provides excellent filtration. By oversizing the filter, we're able to limit pressure drop without sacrificing filtration. This is made possible through the use of greatly increased filter surface area. Carbon fiber not only looks great, but it allows us to make a complex and organic heat shield shape that keeps hot air pushed through the frontal radiator away from the intake tract. Furthermore carbon fiber allows us to limit wall thickness on the intake pipe, maximizing the pipe's internal diameter and thus airflow. Lastly, carbon fiber retains heat less than other materials, such as metal, making it ideal for performance.

Upgrade your vehicle's performance with the APR Open Carbon Fiber Intake System designed specifically for 1.8T and 2.0T engines. Crafted from lightweight, durable carbon fiber, this intake system significantly enhances airflow, resulting in increased horsepower and torque. The system features a massive 7-inch washable and reusable cotton filter with a frontal inlet and 4-inch rear outlet, which limits pressure drop across the factory system and maximizes airflow for a more responsive and powerful driving experience. The larger filter surface area ensures excellent filtration while reducing pressure loss, allowing your engine to breathe freely and efficiently. Additionally, the carbon fiber heat shield not only adds a sleek aesthetic but also helps keep hot air away from the intake tract, improving overall engine performance. The use of carbon fiber reduces heat retention compared to metal, facilitating cooler intake temperatures and better throttle response. Designed for easy installation, this system fits a wide range of models including 2019-2024 Audi Q3, 2015-2020 Audi A3/A3 Quattro/S3, 2016-2023 Audi TTS Quattro, 2016-2023 Audi TT Quattro, 2015-2019 VW Golf and Golf R, 2017-2019 VW Golf Alltrack, 2019-2021 VW Arteon, and 2018-2024 VW Tiguan. Note that models with Secondary Air Injection (SAI) require a breather filter, and this system is not compatible with EA888.3B engines with a MAF sensor or the MS100100 intake-mounted catch can system. Benefits include a gain of up to +12 horsepower and +13 torque, improved throttle response, and a distinctive intake sound that enhances engine bay acoustics. The system outflows the factory airbox by 60%, providing a noticeable performance boost in a straightforward, bolt-on package.
