The APR Open Carbon Fibre Intake System is the ultimate intake system for the 1.8T/2.0T Engine! APR has maximised 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.
This beautiful carbon fibre 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 maximise airflow, while allowing you to fully hear the engine breathe!
The massive filter provides excellent filtration. By oversizing the filter, APR is able to limit pressure drop without sacrificing filtration. This is made possible through the use of a greatly increased filter surface area.
Carbon fibre not only looks great, but it allows for a complex and organic heat shield shape that keeps hot air pushed through the frontal radiator away from the intake tract. Furthermore, carbon fibre allows for limited wall thickness on the intake pipe, maximising the pipe's internal diameter and, thus, airflow. Lastly, carbon fibre retains less heat than other materials, such as metal, making it ideal for performance.
Features:
- More horsepower with gains up to +12 AWHP over stock
- More torque with gains of up to +13 AWFT-LBS over stock
- Greatly outflows the full factory frontal airbox by 60% at 833 CFM vs 521 CFM
- Beautiful and functional carbon-fibre heat shield
- Thin-walled carbon-fibre inlet pipes for maximum airflow through a larger internal ID
- Massive 7” washable and reusable cotton filter with a frontal inlet and 4” rear outlet
- Creates an intoxicating intake sound in the engine bay
- Improves throttle response
- Lessens pressure drop
