For more information, visit www.P65warnings.ca.gov.The APR Open Intake System (CI100054) is an exceptionally versatile, high-flow induction solution designed for the 2.0T EA888.3/3B and newer Gen 4 engines. Originally developed for the VW Polo GTI and Audi A1, its modular design makes it a perfect low-cost, high-performance option for nearly any MQB, MQB Evo, or MQB Ax platform vehicle, including the VW Tiguan and Audi Q3. By utilizing a straight-through design with a massive 127mm (5") filter outlet, this system significantly reduces intake restriction and provides a 260% larger cross-sectional area compared to the factory tubing.
The system features a proprietary, washable cotton gauze filter that flows 22% more than stock and offers 20% more surface area. To manage intake temperatures, APR includes a glass-filled polypropylene heat shield that captures fresh air from the frontal ducting while deflecting radiant heat from the engine bay and radiator. This setup not only sharpens throttle response and reduces turbocharger strain but also delivers the aggressive induction and turbocharger "spool" sounds that enthusiasts crave.
Key Features:
- Universal MQB Fitment: Compatible with a wide range of 1.8T and 2.0T EA888.3, 3B, 4, and 4B engines across the VW/Audi lineup.
- Massive 5" Filter Outlet: The 127mm filter transition is 260% larger than stock, dramatically increasing air velocity and volume.
- Proven Flow Increase: Flows 22% more than the factory intake system with significantly lower pressure drop.
- Open Airbox Design: Provides maximum airflow and an enhanced engine soundtrack, allowing you to hear the turbocharger working.
- Heat Shield Protection: Glass-filled polypropylene shield blocks engine heat and directs cool, frontal air into the filter.
- Easy Maintenance: Includes a high-flow pleated cotton gauze filter that is fully washable and reusable for the life of the vehicle.
- Simple Installation: Installs in minutes by popping directly onto the factory mounting pegs.
