APR Open PEX Intake System for the 1.8T / 2.0T EA888 Gen 3 (MQB)

[@jordana7145]

Just installed this on my Golf R. It was super easy to install and it sounds great! Quiet when puttering around town at low throttle (almost no difference inside the cabin) and it comes alive under throttle (while still not being obnoxiously loud). I was worried it would be too loud, but it's perfect. Way better value than the carbon fiber which is double the price.

Hey how’s the golf r ?

[@jordana7145]

@@szalonyy_6854 Only thing I want is a more exciting engine note but honestly it's not that big of a deal and the car is perfect. Can't recommend it enough! I will likely only trade up to one of the new RS3s when I can afford a used one.

[@OneTwistedmonkey]

i love the product super easy to install sounds great . 1 issue is pex model keeps popping out from the main part that connects. changed to clamp style screw tight still pops out. im guessing this is due to pex material being very slippery surface. it would have been better to have some rubber or silicone type connection. i have to keep popping back in the connection every oter day until i find a solution . Apr told me to take a pic and send not sure how u can take a picture of something that pops out of its place lol

What would happen if your vacuum line wasn’t plugged in and you drove for awhile

[@frankrama3569]

Hi I didn’t get a secondary air filter when I ordered the air intake

[@Krauser1226]

Genuine question, but are there actually any performance benefits for an open air intake on this particular platform? The stock box on the Mk7/7.5 cars is rather free breathing and it pulls in cool outside air due to its design as opposed to the hotter engine bay air that an open system like this would. Don't get me wrong, I love a good turbo woosh as much as the next, but changing the source of intake air to hotter engine bay air, especially if tuned and during hotter days of the year, would concern me a bit when driven harder or during hot days/longer drives.

[@APRtube]

The factory system flows well but you run into flow restrictions which lessens power. It causes the turbo to spin faster and faster to reach the same flow levels as this intake system, which will cause you to run into speed limiters on the turbo to prevent it from overspinning. We saw 12 AWHP and 13 AWFTLBS of torque over stock when using this system vs stock.

[@Krauser1226]

@@APRtube good stuff, I figured the upfront advantage of the increased airflow from a system like this would help with spool and response so double digit gains on a CAI is definitely nice, was just more concerned about heat soak over time given the source of air and whether the car is more likely to cut boost/power with higher air temps given the source. That said, if it doesn't affect it/is outweighed by the increased flow levels, it's a net gain so wouldn't matter I suppose. Regardless, I've been running your stage 1 software for years on my Mk7 and it's been awesome, wouldn't have a Mk7 without it. Thanks for the reply!

[@APRtube]

@@Krauser1226 This system it self doesn't exactly heatsoak. That's more of a intercooler thing, or possibly of those metal intake things where the pipes get blazing hot and soaked with heat. Keep in mind it will pull in hotter air than if we made it totally closed off, but you won't hear it as much, it may not flow as much depending on what kind of filter can fit in there, cost you more, and things like that. Also, keep in mind once the car is moving there is a ton of air rushing through the engine bay from the grill. All comes down to what you want really and what your goals are. I think this will hit the mark for most, especially since you can hear the turbo, which adds a new level of excitement to the car on its own.

[@MegaHollywood1971]

@@APRtube To make this more factual, APR needs to adjust the Dyno Charts on each on the Staged Tunes; which includes this intake. Bottom line is, a Stock Box with a High Flow filter and snow grate removal does the same exact thing - if not better than any open system you can put on. An IS20/IS38 doesn't require any more air flow than the factory air box set-up. That's a fact. Intakes and exhausts should have died out in the late 80's, yet organizations are still coming out with these.

[@APRtube]

This intake performed better than the factory intake in every factory intake configuration.

[@squarebackjedi]

Does the filter have to be replace more often that a stock filter? Thanks.

[@roris4561]

No, also you can remove it and rinse it out and reuse it.

[@r3alitygam3r33]

Does this fit on Passats specifically 2018 2.0tsi?

[@diydrivenGA]

Any plans on offering a kit to relocate the catch can that mounted to the closed CF intake?If this open style flows better than the closed but to use it requires ditching the can, is APR implying the can isn't recommended? I would imagine a bracket that moves the can from to a better spot either further in front of the engine could help. Not sure why this wasn't considered given the percentage of customers that stack parts from particular vendors like APR.

[@APRtube]

The can doesn't fit without making this system smaller, unfortunately. We weighed options. Your best bet is to update to the new full catch can system that has the block off plate.

[@reaxions]

I was wondering the same thing. I've got the APR CF closed intake, but would like to buy this one. Unfortunately, my APR catch can which mounts to their closed intake has never caught anything anyway and the huge hoses just get in the way of everything, so I'll probably just buy this open intake and ditch the useless catch can. Side note: I've been running APR Stage 2+ for 3 years on my '15 S3 Prestige.
