APR PEX Intake Front Airbox - Audi/Volkswagen (PQ35) 2008-2018 - 1.8T/2.0T
APR builds its intake systems to let the engine breathe properly, and the PEX Front Airbox (SKU CI100039) is no exception. The closed design shields the filter from engine bay heat while feeding cold, dense air straight from outside the bay, giving your Audi or Volkswagen a genuine drop in intake air temperature and a sharper throttle feel.
This listing covers the APR PEX Intake Front Airbox for Audi and Volkswagen models built on the PQ35 platform from 2008 to 2018, fitted with the 1.8T or 2.0T engine. The system is modular and bolts straight to the factory turbo inlet piping, with an optional APR Turbo Inlet Pipe available separately for buyers chasing further flow gains.
Note: the optional APR Turbo Inlet Pipe is sold separately and required if you want to move past the factory inlet piping restriction.
