APR Intake System
Product Details
The factory intake system on the 2.5 TFSI EVO is a bottleneck that stifles the legendary 5-cylinder engine. By combining the industry’s most advanced components into a single, comprehensive package, APR offers the definitive solution for those who refuse to compromise. This system isn’t just an upgrade; it’s a complete transformation of your engine’s breathing capabilities.
From the massive 4" cast-aluminum turbo inlet to the gorgeous carbon fiber airbox and oversized open-filter assembly, every restriction has been systematically eliminated. Whether you're running a stock turbo or a high-output hybrid, this "one-click" system provides the airflow, thermal management, and aggressive acoustics your RS3 or TT RS deserves.
Product Features
Massive Airflow Gains: Delivers up to a 60% CFM improvement over the entire stock intake system.
Massive 4" Carbon Fiber & Cast Aluminum Construction: The system features a 4" cast-aluminum turbo inlet pipe that flows a staggering 710 CFM on its own—a 45% improvement over the stock pipe.
Dual-Path Carbon Fiber Airbox: The CI100069 airbox draws cool air from two distinct paths (above and forward of the radiator) to minimize heat soak and ensure consistent intake temperatures.
Configurable Sound & Cooling: Includes a removable access panel in the airbox—keep it closed for a refined OEM+ look and feel, or open it up to unleash the raw, intoxicating scream of the 5-cylinder turbo.
Extreme Open Filter Design: The CI100038-A component features a massive 9" long cotton filter with a 6" carbon fiber inlet tube, designed specifically for high-horsepower builds that demand unboxed airflow.
2019+ Compatibility Included: We've bundled the CI100038-G CNC-machined billet aluminum adapter, ensuring a seamless plug-and-play fitment for North American 2019+ vehicles with the updated DV reroute hose.
Comprehensive Thermal Protection: Includes a thick stainless steel heat shield to protect the intake path from the extreme radiant heat of the turbocharger manifold.
Everything Included: From the interlocking adapter rings for various turbo sizes to the nylon-reinforced silicone hoses and stainless steel hardware—this is the complete, 1-click buy solution.
What’s Included in the Box?
APR Carbon Fiber Airbox (CI100069): The foundation of the system, providing superior thermal insulation and a customizable look.
APR Turbocharger Inlet System (CI100038): The massive 4" cast inlet and 4" carbon back-pipe that eliminates the primary intake restriction.
APR Carbon Fiber Open Filter Assembly (CI100038-A): The high-flow 9" cotton filter and 6" to 4" carbon transition tube for maximum CFM.
APR DV Adapter Kit (CI100038-G): Necessary for 2019+ models to ensure the diverter valve reroute is retained with a factory-perfect fit.
Note: This system is designed for the 2.5 TFSI EVO (DAZA/DNWA) engines. This part is legal for sale and use in all 50 states (CARB EO Pending).
