Product Details
The APR Full Intake System for the 2.0T EA888.3 engine has arrived—designed as the ultimate intake system whether using a factory or aftermarket turbo system. Designed for MQB (VW MK7, Audi 8V/8S) and MQB Evo (VW MK8) vehicles, this is a true full 109 mm intake system from the dual front inlet scoops at the grille all the way to the turbocharger connection. The full-length airbox uses dual front inlets to capture as much airflow as possible in an open configuration, delivering up to 130% more airflow than stock with a clean, OEM-integrated fit that retains key factory-style connections like the PCV port and flex grommets. The system’s streamlined, single-piece turbo inlet layout connects the airbox directly to the included turbo inlet adapter, reducing complexity while minimizing potential leak points with just three clamping connections and an integrated flex section—helping maximize airflow to the turbo. It’s also fully configurable: run it open for maximum induction sound, or convert it to a closed setup with one of three optional covers—PEX, Woven Carbon Fiber, or Forged Carbon Fiber—to match your preferred look. And for upgraded turbo setups, optional swappable turbo inlet adapters support OEM-style turbo upgrades across OEM, hybrid, and aftermarket options. Running their Stage 3 6054 DTR? Pair this intake with CI100077-Ato help you get the most out of your DTR turbo. More flow, less restriction, better sound, a cleaner engine bay, and the flexibility to build it your way—at a price point that’s hard to beat.
