Description
Enhance the performance and thermal efficiency of your Audi RS3 or Audi TT RS with the APR Carbon Fiber Intake Airbox for the EA855 2.5TFSI engine. Designed as the final component in APR’s modular intake system, this airbox completes the front-to-turbo intake path for vehicles already equipped with the APR Turbo Inlet and APR Intake Filter System.
Constructed from premium multi-layer carbon fiber, the airbox is engineered to improve airflow while reducing heat soak from the engine bay. The design draws cool ambient air from dual frontal air feeds located above and in front of the radiator stack, helping maintain consistent intake temperatures for optimal turbocharger efficiency.
The airbox features a configurable heat shield system that isolates the filter from engine heat while preserving the strong airflow characteristics of the existing APR intake components. By default, the airbox operates in an open configuration, allowing maximum turbo and induction sound. For drivers seeking a quieter, more refined setup, the included removable panel converts the system into a closed intake design.
Designed with an OEM+ fit and finish, this system integrates seamlessly within the engine bay and enhances the signature five-cylinder turbo sound while maintaining excellent airflow and durability.
