Features
- Optimized Design for Maximum Performance:
Unitronic specifically developed its air intake system to provide increased power, air velocity, and throttle response, while also decreasing air intake temperatures and turbo lag. - Quality Silicone Components:

Clean and Sexy
Bought this intake for my MK 7.5 Golf R mainly because of the clean carbon fiber look and the few videos online that hype it up. There really werent any performance claims that I could find other than the increased air flow. The install was fairly easy except the part where I had to remove the check valve from the OEM coolant hose, I really didn’t like this part at all. I ruined the OEM hose in order to remove the check valve only to break the valve inside the new hose rendering it useless. I had to purchase a different branded hose that came with the valve already integrated which cost me a little more and if I decide to put the stock parts back on I would have to pay close to $200 to order an OEM hose. So, a little upset about that. I also had to buy a longer vacuum hose to reach the fitting on the intake hose. I think the newer model Golf R has a shorter run due to some minor changes in the engine bay.
All that aside, I really like how the intake and duct look in the engine bay, very clean.
As far as sound goes, I like the way it amplifies the turbo spooling and boost dump, makes the car sound a little more aggressive.
Overall, this intake is damn sexy and I am happy with the purchase. (Less the minor hangups)
