The APR Open PEX Intake System is the value-focused open intake for EA888 Gen 3 and Gen 4 MQB 1.8T and 2.0T engines, using high heat-deflection PEX construction in place of carbon fiber. A 7 inch washable cotton gauze filter with frontal inlet and 4 inch rear outlet limits pressure drop, while the molded PEX heat shield keeps radiator heat away from the intake tract with an OEM-style look. It flows 833 CFM versus the factory airbox's 521 CFM, a 60 percent improvement, for gains up to 12 AWHP and 13 AWFT-LBS over stock. It is compatible with APR and factory rear intake tubes and turbo inlet pipes.
