Description

The APR Open PEX Intake System represents the ultimate dollar-per-horsepower induction upgrade for your 1.8T / 2.0T EA888 Gen 3 engine. By replacing the restrictive factory closed-airbox, APR engineers drastically reduced pressure drop and maximised airflow, allowing your turbocharger to breathe easier while amplifying those intoxicating intake and diverter-valve sounds.

High-Heat Deflection PEX Construction

Constructed from high-grade PEX (Cross-linked Polyethene), this system combines structural durability with an OEM-like textured appearance. Unlike metal intakes that absorb and transfer engine-bay heat, PEX exhibits excellent thermal-barrier properties that help keep intake temperatures low and performance consistent.

Massive 7-inch High-Flow Filter

At the heart of the system is an oversized 7-inch washable, reusable pleated cotton filter featuring a front inlet and a 4-inch rear outlet. The increased surface area ensures maximum air volume with optimal filtration efficiency, eliminating airflow bottlenecking.

Key Features & Benefits:

  • Dyno-Proven Power: Gains of up to +12 AWHP and +13 AWFT-LBS of torque over stock.

  • Massive Airflow Increase: Flows 833 CFM at 28″ H2O—a 60% increase over the factory frontal airbox (521 CFM).

  • Enhanced Acoustic Profile: Opens up the engine bay to unlock dramatic turbo spool and induction noises.

  • Reduced Pressure Drop & Turbo Strain: Smooths intake pathways to lessen physical stress on the turbocharger.

  • Direct Bolt-On: Easy multi-minute installation reusing factory mounting points; compatible with OEM or APR turbo inlet pipes and rear intake hoses.
