- This kit includes the front, Stage 1 intake, along with the front adapter.
APR's latest carbon fiber intake for the 2.0 TSI engine is a truly race engineered ram air design. Building from years of experience on and off the race track, APR's engineering teams have spent countless hours developing a true cold air and ram air carbon fiber design that can be recreated affordably for the street performance enthusiast.
For many years professional motorsport organizations have suffered great expense to properly tune the air intake delivery system for transverse turbocharged engines for use in endurance and sprint races where every last horsepower and pound feet of torque can make the difference in position when crossing the finish line. Historically these designs have proven to be the most efficient and powerful although the most expensive to produce.
Aftermarket performance companies have attempted to capitalize on these designs however the cost restraints have typically resulted in compromise and deviation from the true engineering principles associated with motorsport accomplishment. Don't be fooled by catch phrases and tag lines alluding to a new intake technology or special design characteristic. You won't see any of these gimmicks installed on race cars at the Nurburgring.
APR has gone even further to maintain all oem specifications necessary to integrate cohesively with an otherwise stock engine to avoid raising eyebrows at the dealership. Flexibility was another characteristic of APR's design whereas the new TSI intake is also suitable for Stage 1 and Stage 2 modified engines all the way up to and beyond APR's Stage 3 Turbocharger System.
Cold air induction is accomplished by completely sealing the intake system from the hot engine bay air and then taking it even further through the choice of Carbon Fiber material and an additional thermal barrier application to the inside of the intake system. Quite often intakes are advertised as cold air induction even though the material choice is a metal or plastic composite which simply does not insulate the incoming air from the hot engine bay air or does not completely seal the intake system in the engine bay allowing hot air to enter the intake stream negating any cold air induction gains.
This intake is an all new replacement for the CI100020.
Benefits of the Carbonio intake include:
* Increased Horsepower and Torque
* Improved Throttle Response
* Decreased Turbo 'Lag'
* Flattened Torque Curve (engine is less 'peaky')
* Improved Fuel Economy
* Enhanced Engine Volumetric Efficiency
* Enhanced Sound of Turbo Diverter Valve
* Installs in an Hour (does not require bumper or headlight removal)
* Maintains Clean Appearance by Retaining Factory Engine Cover
* Maintains All Factory Emissions Components
* Fits Both Manual and Automatic Transmissions
* Unique Thermal Barrier Composite Construction Ensures Low Inlet Temperatures
* Fully Compatible and Complimentary with APR Software and Exhaust systems
Each APR Kit Includes:
* Aerospace Grade Carbon Fiber Main Section
* Carbon Fiber Main Section Show Quality Finish
* Complete Photographic Instructions
* All Necessary Hardware Included for Easy Install without Cutting Or Modifying
