Performance Cold Air Intake System for 2015–2017 Audi A3 & VW GTI / Golf / Golf R – Optimized Combustion and Enhanced Throttle Response

Ensure your Audi A3, VW GTI, Golf, or Golf R's maximized airflow and engine performance boost with this precision-engineered cold air intake system. Engineered specifically for the 1.8L and 2.0L turbocharged engines, this kit replaces the restrictive factory air box that often limits the potential of your vehicle during spirited driving or track days. Whether you are maintaining factory settings or looking to maximize your vehicle's potential, this upgrade provides the high-velocity induction path needed for peak efficiency and a more capable driving experience.

The factory intake components are designed for silence over speed, often creating bottlenecks that restrict the engine's ability to breathe. By drawing in a larger volume of cooler, oxygen-rich air, this system eliminates those vulnerabilities, providing a smooth air path that remains stable under heavy load. This ensures that response remains sharp across the entire RPM range, resulting in more immediate acceleration and a boost in horsepower and torque by up to 10%.

Key Features & Performance Benefits

• Turbocharged Power Enhancement: Engineered to boost both horsepower and torque by up to 10% for increased pulling power and faster turbo spool.

• Optimized Air Charge: Delivers a higher volume of oxygen-rich air to the combustion chamber, allowing the 1.8L and 2.0L engines to breathe more efficiently.

• Instant Throttle Feedback: Eliminates the hesitation found in the stock baffled intake, providing a much more responsive feel under acceleration.

• Aggressive Induction Note: Unlocks the signature sound of the turbocharged engine, providing a more authoritative tone and audible bypass valve sounds.

• Maximized Intake Velocity: Designed with a smooth internal diameter to reduce air turbulence and maintain consistent pressure throughout the power band.

• Efficient Filtration: Includes a high-flow performance filter designed to protect your engine from debris while maintaining maximum air velocity.
