APR Open PEX Intake System - 1.4T EA211 (MQB) | CI100062

The APR Open PEX Intake System (CI100062) is the ultimate dollar-per-horsepower induction upgrade for the 1.4T EA211 engine. By replacing the restrictive factory closed airbox with a high-flow open design, APR has increased airflow by 44%, reaching a peak of 730 CFM. This reduction in pressure drop directly translates to real-world performance gains of +11 FT-LBS of torque and +8 WHP, while simultaneously reducing physical strain on the turbocharger.

Constructed from PEX, a high-tech composite that retains less heat than traditional metal systems, the intake features an organic heat shield shape designed to deflect hot air from the radiator. The system centers around a massive 7" washable cotton filter, providing a vast surface area that ensures superior filtration without sacrificing flow. This open design not only improves throttle response but also delivers an intoxicating engine sound, allowing you to hear the turbocharger breathe freely.

Key Features:

• Proven Power Gains: Dyno-verified increases of +11 FT-LBS of torque and +8 HP at the wheels.
• Massive Flow Increase: Up to 730 CFM at 28" of H2O, a 44% improvement over the factory 509 CFM airbox.
• High-Performance PEX: Advanced composite construction offers excellent heat deflection and an OEM-plus engine bay aesthetic.
• 7" High-Flow Filter: Oiled, pleated cotton gauze material is washable and reusable for the life of the vehicle.
• Turbo Efficiency: Reduced pressure drop leads to faster spool-up, improved throttle response, and lower turbocharger strain.
• Intoxicating Sound: Open airbox design dramatically enhances induction and turbocharger spool noises.
• Plug-and-Play: Installs in minutes using factory mounting points with no impact on emissions.

Technical Specifications:

Installation Note: For vehicles equipped with Secondary Air Injection (SAI), an additional breather filter (CI100020-A) is required to complete the installation.
