APR Carbon Intake System - Audi A5 B8
APR Carbon's latest carbon fibre intake for the 2.0/1.8 TFSI & 2.0 TDI engine is a ram air design that completely seperates the intake filter from the engine bay. Building from years of experience on and off the race track, APR Carbon's and APR's engineering teams have spent countless hours developing a true cold air and ram air carbon fibre design that can be recreated affordably for the street performance enthusiast.
For many years professional motorsport organizations have suffered great expense to properly tune the air intake delivery system for turbocharged engines for use in endurance and sprint races where every last horsepower and pound feet of torque can make the difference in position when crossing the finish line. Historically these designs have proven to be the most efficient and powerful although the most expensive to produce.
Aftermarket performance companies have attempted to capitalize on these designs however the cost restraints have typically resulted in compromise and deviation from the true engineering principles associated with motorsport accomplishment. Don't be fooled by catch phrases and tag lines alluding to a new intake technology or special design characteristic. You won't see any of these gimmicks installed on race cars at the Nurburgring.
APR Carbon and APR have gone even further to maintain all oem specifications necessary to integrate cohesively with an otherwise stock engine to avoid raising eyebrows at the dealership. Flexibility was another characteristic of APR Carbon's and APR's design whereas the new TFSI intake is also suitable for Stage 1 and Stage 2 modified engines all the way up to and beyond APR's K04 Turbocharger System.
Constructed of aerospace grade carbon fibre and designed to remove intake restriction, APR's APR Carbon intake system provides smoother transitional airflow, increased air velocity, superior insulation of the incoming air to reduce intake air temperatures and a larger volume of available air to aid throttle response and turbocharger spool.
