This is the ultimate intake system for the 2.0T EA888.4 Engine. It's a complete 109 mm intake system from the dual frontal inlet scoops to the included turbocharger inlet adapter connecting directly to the turbo. The system is entirely configurable, making it an open or closed system, both with OEM-inspired cover or more stylish carbon fiber covers in both twill and forged carbon fiber. The system is also compatible with stock and larger turbocharger systems, both OEM, hybrid, and aftermarket, thanks to swappable back tubes and turbo inlet adapters. The system flows dramatically more than stock, has lower pressure drop, increases horsepower & torque, sounds better, looks better, is entirely configurable to your desire, and comes in at an unbelievably affordable price. This is the only intake system you'll ever need!

The filter attaches to the airbox and leads directly into our massive 109 mm (4.28”) turbo inlet pipe. The inlet pipe, which is often overlooked, is typically one of the most restrictive parts of the inlet system. We’ve improved upon this greatly. The cross-sectional area of our system is 99% larger than the factory at the airbox! It connects to the airbox with only a single hose clamp with no need for silicone couplers and adapter. This makes the installation simple and gives the system a very clean and professional look.

Next, airflow is directed straight through the intake filter without any initial turns or bends after the filter. The ideal airpath for maximum performance is a straight-through pipe. While not always possible in all situations, every consideration was made to make this system as straight as possible to promote performance. The flow path was optimized with CFD to minimize pressure drop and turbulence within the controlled space. Even the flex section is integrated to allow for necessary movement with low-profile ridges for minimal disruption. The system gradually necks down to the turbo inlet adapter. The pipe is oversized to allow for swapping inlet adapters for larger ones in the future for larger turbocharger setups. Once again, a single clamp connects to two without any silicone adapters for a clean and easy installation with fewer possibilities for leaks. The turbo inlet adapter features an ideal entrance into the turbocharger, and the port matches to turbo to prevent any disruptive airflow. Furthermore, unlike the factory inlet pipes, there are no sharp and disruptive bends directly before the turbocharger.

GARRET (GTI/A3 PLATFORM) TURBO SETUPS

On vehicles with the Garret Turbocharger (GTI/A3 Platform) and the APR turbo inlet adapter designed for the factory turbocharger, we saw a 28% and 30% increase in airflow in closed and open configurations. However, when upgrading the turbocharger and providing an appropriately matched turbo inlet pipe, the numbers increase dramatically to 97% and 114% in a closed and open configuration at the maximum inlet size!

On a Stage 1 equipped vehicle with no other hardware changes or tune adjustments to maximize airflow, the vehicle instantly picked up 11 AWHP and 11 AWFT-LBS of torque! These gains will grow dramatically as more performance mods and larger turbocharger setups are added to the equation!
