APR Open Intake System for 1.0T/1.5T EA211

The APR Open PEX Intake System is one of the most meaningful upgrades for 1.0 TSI and 1.5 TSI engines when looking for maximum results for the money invested. This system is designed to significantly improve airflow, engine response, and sound, while simultaneously reducing the load on the turbocharger.

APR achieves this by removing factory restrictions in the air path, reducing pressure drop, and significantly increasing airflow. The result is more power and torque, which are truly felt behind the wheel.

Real measured results:

• +10 lb-ft torque
• +6 hp to the wheels
• up to 113% higher flow compared to the standard system
• up to 935 CFM at 28 in.H2O

Why does this system work so well?

APR replaces the closed factory box with an open PEX system, utilizing a massive 7-inch washable cotton filter with:

• a front inlet
• a 4-inch rear outlet

This is done with one goal – to maximally limit the pressure drop through the factory system and to provide the freest possible airflow to the turbo.

The large filter not only improves airflow but also maintains excellent filtration. Thanks to the significantly larger filter area, APR manages to reduce restriction without compromising engine protection.

Advantages of PEX construction

The PEX material gives the system an OEM+ feel and allows for the creation of a complex, organically shaped heat shield that keeps hot air from the radiator away from the air path.

In addition, PEX:

• retains less heat than metal systems
• is more suitable for performance applications
• helps maintain a lower intake air temperature

What do you gain in practice?

• Better throttle response
• Freer turbo spooling
• Less load on the turbocharger
• Fuller and clearer sound
• Real increase in power and torque

This is one of those upgrades that doesn't just look good, but is felt immediately.
