APR Open Carbon Fiber Intake | VW/Audi MQB 1.8T/2.0T | CI100040

The APR Open Carbon Fiber Intake System stands as the ultimate choice for the 1.8T/2.0T Engine! We've significantly enhanced both performance and sound by minimizing pressure drop and amplifying airflow. This results in a notable increase in horsepower and torque, while also reducing the strain on the turbocharger. Beyond its impressive functionality, the system boasts a stunning appearance, captivating sound quality, and delivers tangible gains in both horsepower and torque.

Our aesthetically pleasing carbon fiber intake system discards the closed airbox design in favor of a design featuring a substantial 7" washable and reusable cotton filter with a frontal inlet and 4" rear outlet. This adjustment was crucial to curbing pressure drop within the factory system, thereby optimizing airflow. Not only does this design choice enhance performance, but it also allows the full resonance of the engine's intake to be appreciated.

The generously sized filter ensures excellent filtration, a feat achieved by expanding the filter's surface area to maintain optimal airflow without compromising on filtration. The application of carbon fiber extends beyond mere aesthetics; it enables the creation of a sophisticated and organic heat shield that effectively redirects hot air from the frontal radiator away from the intake tract.

Moreover, carbon fiber's unique properties permit a reduction in wall thickness on the intake pipe, maximizing its internal diameter and, consequently, optimizing airflow. Lastly, carbon fiber's ability to retain less heat compared to other materials, such as metal, positions it as an ideal choice for performance applications.
