APR Open Intake System for 2.0T EA888.3/3B Engines

Hey there, fellow car enthusiasts! If you're looking to unleash the true potential of your Volkswagen MK6 Polo GTI or Audi MK2 A1, let me introduce you to the APR Open Intake System. This bad boy is designed specifically for the 2.0T EA888.3/3B engines, but it also fits a bunch of other 1.8T and 2.0T engines across the MQB platforms. So, whether you're looking for a budget-friendly upgrade or just want to maximize your setup, this intake is a solid choice.

Why Go for the APR Open Intake?

This system features a straight-through filter design that minimizes twists and bends, which means you're getting maximum airflow with minimal pressure drop. We’re talking about a 22% increase in flow compared to stock filters! Plus, the proprietary washable and reusable cotton gauze filter boasts 20% more surface area than the factory piece, so it’s built to last.

The filter’s outlet is a whopping 127mm (5 inches), which is 260% larger than the stock tube. That’s a serious upgrade! This means that air velocity is ramped up as it flows smoothly into the factory back tube, connecting directly to the MAF housing or via our back tube adapter, depending on your engine setup. Installation? It’s a breeze—just pop it onto the factory mounting pegs and you’re good to go!
