AMS Carbon Fiber Chopped Intake 2015 Plus VW Golf R MK7

The AMS Performance VW Golf R MKVII Carbon Fiber Cold Air Intake draws a higher volume of cold air into the stock turbocharger, providing more consistent intake airflow for improved system reliability.

Designed by AMS, this chopped carbon fiber intake replaces the factory airbox with lightweight carbon tubing and a dry media filter. The configuration prioritizes a direct airflow path to the stock turbocharger while reducing packaged bulk inside the engine bay area.

• Chopped carbon fiber tubing — reduces system mass and preserves a rigid, heat-resistant airway; carbon construction maintains shape under thermal cycling for consistent flow geometry.
• Dry media filter — provides a reusable filtration element that simplifies service and avoids oil contamination associated with wetted filters, helping maintain consistent airflow characteristics.
• Factory turbo compatibility — engineered to interface with the stock turbocharger inlet, maintaining mounting integrity and alignment for reliable turbo performance.

Why this matters: by increasing the volume of cold air delivered to the turbocharger and streamlining the intake path, the assembly supports a predictable intake environment under repeated use. The combination of rigid carbon tubing and a dry media element reduces packaging complexity compared with bulky airbox layouts while keeping maintenance straightforward.

Applications & fit: Developed specifically for AMS Performance installations on the 2015+ VW Golf R MK7 platform, this intake complements high-flow component upgrades and integrates cleanly with turbo-focused builds.
