For more information, visit www.P65warnings.ca.gov.The APR High-Flow Intake Filter (RF100025) is the ideal "drop-in" performance upgrade for the PQ35 and PQ46 platforms. By replacing the restrictive, mass-produced factory paper filter with APR’s proprietary washable cotton-gauze media, you can significantly reduce air intake restriction. This allows your 1.8T, 2.0T, or 2.0 TDI engine to breathe more freely, resulting in improved throttle response, decreased turbo lag, and more consistent power delivery without the cost of a full intake system.
Every APR filter is flow-bench optimized to balance high-volume airflow with superior engine protection, ensuring your engine runs clean for hundreds of thousands of miles. Because the media is washable and reusable, it represents a permanent solution that eliminates the need for future filter replacements. It is a "stealth" upgrade, maintaining a completely factory engine bay appearance while providing a subtle enhancement to the engine's induction sound.
Key Features:
- Direct Drop-In Fitment: Precision-sized at 341mm x 135mm to fit perfectly into the factory PQ35/PQ46 airbox.
- Proprietary High-Flow Media: Multi-layer cotton-gauze material flows significantly more air than standard OEM paper.
- Washable & Reusable: Designed to last the life of the engine; simply clean and re-oil to restore to peak performance.
- Improved Turbo Efficiency: Lower pressure drop reduces the strain on the turbocharger and sharpens response.
- Flow-Bench Optimized: Engineered specifically to maximize the airflow efficiency of the factory intake tract.
- Versatile Application: Fully compatible with Gasoline (TSI/TFSI), Diesel (TDI), and Ethanol-equipped vehicles.
- Emissions Safe: 100% compliant with emissions standards and will not trigger a check engine light.
