3-Inch Cold Air Intake System

The CTS Turbo 3-inch air intake system is engineered for 1.8TSI and 2.0T TSI Gen1 and Gen3 VW/Audi vehicles equipped with EA888.1 and EA888.3 non-MQB engines, specifically designed for the high-efficiency B-CYCLE variants. This premium, high-flow intake kit utilizes a sealed airbox that works in conjunction with the OEM air scoop to ensure cold air is fed into the 3-inch system. Air then passes through a reusable high-flow cone filter with an inverted cone design for maximum airflow. The CNC mandrel-bent aluminum intake pipe facilitates a smooth entry of cold air into the engine, contributing to peak power gains of 9-15WHP. Constructed with a full 3-inch mandrel-bent aluminum piping, this intake features a durable black powder coating. It is compatible with CTS BOSS kits, offering provisions for easy installation with two 1/8NPT bungs. The kit includes 4-ply silicon connectors, stainless steel clamps, an airbox with rubberized trim, and bracketry to prevent rattling. It is guaranteed to have no Check Engine Light (CEL) or fuel trim issues. Specific fitment details are provided for GEN1 (EA888.1) and GEN3 (EA888.3 non-MQB) engines, with a note that this model (CTS-IT-220R-B) is not for B-cycle engines and compatibility should be verified for certain models like Tiguan and Q3. Fitment applies to specific model years and engine configurations including various MK5, MK6, Passat CC, New Beetle, Scirocco, and Audi A3 for GEN1. For GEN3 (non-MQB), it fits Volkswagen Beetle (MK2), Eos, Jetta (MK6) 1.8TSI & GLI (2013.5-2019), Scirocco (MK3), and Passat (B7) equipped with the EA888.3 Gen 3 motor, Vband downpipe, and black engine cover (No MAF). It is explicitly stated that this intake is *not* for B-cycle engines and buyers should refer to the CTS-IT-220R-B for those applications. Additionally, potential buyers should confirm if their vehicle requires a breather filter for the secondary injection system by checking for a hose connected to the airbox behind the headlight.
