Carbonio's latest carbon fiber intake for the 2.0 TSI
engine is a truly race engineered ram air design that is available for the first
time as an affordable street car intake system. Building from years of
experience on and off the race track, Carbonio's and APR's engineering teams
have spent countless hours developing a true cold air and ram air carbon fiber
design that can be recreated affordably for the street performance enthusiast.
Ram air induction is accomplished by maintaining the oem air inlet opening at
the front of the leading hood edge which is the highest pressure area of airflow
across the entire vehicle. Placement of the air filter as close to this high
pressure zone as possible results in overcoming some of the airflow restriction
created by even the highest flow air filters available.
Cold air induction is accomplished by completely sealing the intake system from
the hot engine bay air and then taking it even further through the choice of
Carbon Fiber material and an additional thermal barrier application to the
inside of the intake system. Quite often intakes are advertised as cold air
induction even though the material choice is a metal or plastic composite which
simply does not insulate the incoming air from the hot engine bay air or does
not completely seal the intake system in the engine bay allowing hot air to
enter the intake stream negating any cold air induction gains.
Carbonio 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
Carbonio's and APR's design whereas the new TSI intake is also suitable for
Stage 1 and Stage 2 modified engines all the way up to and beyond APR's Stage 3
Turbocharger System.
