Description
The aFe POWER Rapid Induction Cold Air Intake System (Part Number 52-10020R) is engineered to significantly improve airflow, throttle response, and turbocharger efficiency on MQB-based Volkswagen and Audi applications. Designed for direct bolt-on installation, this system increases airflow by 25% over the factory intake and delivers a measured 325 CFM at 7" H₂O.
Developed specifically for the Volkswagen GTI 2.0L turbo platform, this intake system enhances volumetric efficiency, supports stronger turbo spool, and promotes measurable horsepower and torque gains across the powerband.
Large 5-Layer Pro 5R Performance Air Filter
The included Pro 5R filter is a 7-inch tall, 360-degree radial flow, pre-oiled performance air filter featuring five layers of progressively finer cotton gauze media. This design maximizes airflow while maintaining effective filtration.
Key benefits:
-
Washable and reusable construction
-
Maximum high-flow performance
-
Ideal for street and track use
-
Designed to produce strong power gains
3-Inch Mandrel-Bent Aluminum Intake Tube
A one-piece, 3-inch mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube directs smooth, unrestricted airflow from the filter to the turbocharger. The wrinkle-black powder-coated finish enhances durability and maintains a clean, factory-style engine bay appearance.
Performance advantages:
-
Reduced airflow restriction
-
Improved air velocity
-
Increased horsepower and torque potential
Powder-Coated Steel Heat Shield
The system incorporates a durable 18-gauge steel, wrinkle-black powder-coated heat shield that mounts to the lower portion of the factory airbox. It utilizes OEM mounting locations, ensuring a secure fit without permanent modifications.
Installation features:
-
No cutting or drilling required
-
Direct bolt-on design
-
Uses factory mounting points
-
Hassle-free installation process
Premium Hardware
