APR Open PEX Intake System - 1.8T/2.0T EA888 GEN 3 MQB CI100041

1. This is the APR Open PEX Intake System; the best dollar-per-horsepower intake system for your 1.8T/ 2.0T EA888 GEN 3 Engine.

2. APR had maximized performance and sound dramatically by reducing pressure drop and increasing airflow. 

3. This translates to more horsepower and torque with less physical strain on the turbocharger. 

4. The system looks great, sounds amazing and produces more horsepower and torque you can feel. 

**Flow Bench and Power Testing: The factory intake system simply can't match the performance of APR intake system. 

5. The full factory frontal airbox only flows 521 CFM at 28" of H2O. APR had improved this by 60% with APR open airbox, which flows 833 CFM by comparison.

6. However, it's important to always look at the intake system as a whole as flow numbers alone don't always speak to the broader picture. 

7. The factory turbocharger can only flow just under 400 CFM through the factory opening and an intake system will lessen the maximum flow. 

8. In this case, the full factory system brings the flow down to 275 CFM, or 31% less. 

9. However, the full APR System (Open airbox, rear pipe and turbo inlet pipe) bring the flow down to 345 CFM, which is only 13% less or a 25% improvement over stock. 

10. This will directly translates to more power you can feel. The APR full bolt-on APR Tuned S3 saw max gains of 12 AWHP and 13 AWFT-LBS of torque using the full intake system compared to stock.

11. APR Open PEX Intake System does away with the closed airbox design and uses a massive 7" washable and reusable cotton filter with a frontal inlet and 4" rear outlet. 

12. This was necessary to limit pressure drop across the factory system and maximize airflow while allowing you to fully hear the engine breathe.

13. The massive filter provides excellent filtration. By oversizing the filter, APR had able to limit pressure drop without sacrificing filtration. 

14. This is made possible through the use of greatly increased filter surface area. The PEX material gives the intake an OEM feel and it allows APR to make a complex and organic heat shield shape that keeps hot air pushed through the frontal radiator away from the intake tract. 

15. The PEX retains heat less than other materials such as metal, making it ideal for performance. 

16. From all of above improvements; these are indeed solid gains that make a noticeable difference in performance for your  EA888 GEN3 engines.
