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. Fits 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/Golf Sportwagen/Golf R - 2017-2019 VW Golf Alltrack - 2019-2021 VW Arteon - 2018-2024 VW Tiguan - Note: Models with Secondary Air Injection (SAI) require a breather filter (CI100020-A). Not compatible with EA888.3B enginew ith a MAF sensor. This system is not compatible with the MS100100 intake mounted Catch Can System.

• Compatible with APR and factory rear intake tubes and turbo inlet pipes
• Lessens heat retention compared to other materials, such as metal
• More torque with gains of up to +13 AWFT-LBS over stock
• Creates an intoxicating intake sound in the engine bay
• More horsepower with gains up to +12 AWHP over stock
• Beautiful and functional carbon fiber heat shield

• Lessens pressure drop

Upgrade your vehicle's performance with the APR Open Carbon Fiber Intake System designed for 2015-2024 Audi and Volkswagen models equipped with the EA888.3 and EA888.4 engines. This system has been engineered to dramatically improve airflow and sound, delivering noticeable gains in horsepower and torque while reducing pressure drop across the intake. Crafted from lightweight, heat-resistant carbon fiber, it features a sleek, organic heat shield that directs hot air away from the intake path, ensuring cooler, denser air reaches your turbocharger for optimal performance. The large 7-inch washable and reusable cotton filter with a frontal inlet and 4-inch rear outlet provides exceptional filtration without sacrificing airflow, thanks to its increased surface area. This design allows the system to outperform the factory airbox by up to 60%, supporting airflow rates of 833 CFM compared to the stock 521 CFM, which results in more responsive throttle and increased power gains of up to +12 horsepower and +13 ft-lbs of torque. The thin-walled carbon fiber pipes maximize internal diameter, further enhancing airflow capacity while maintaining structural strength. The system's appearance is enhanced by a beautiful, functional carbon fiber heat shield that not only looks great but also contributes to heat management, reducing heat retention compared to metallic alternatives. Installation is quick and straightforward, with compatibility for factory and APR rear intake tubes and turbo inlet pipes. Note that models with Secondary Air Injection (SAI) require a breather filter, and this system is not compatible with the EA888.3B engine with a MAF sensor or the MS100100 intake-mounted catch can system. Compliant with EPA standards and featuring Prop 65 compliance, this intake system is an excellent upgrade for enthusiasts seeking increased performance, enhanced engine sound, and a visually striking component for their vehicle.
