EA888 Gen 3 2.0T/1.8T Cold Air Intake System

The Integrated Engineering cold air intake system is engineered to maximize performance and auditory feedback for EA888 Gen 3 2.0T and 1.8T engines. It boasts 3.5-inch intake piping paired with a 5-inch air filter and a motorsport-inspired velocity stack, all designed to facilitate efficient airflow. The system includes smooth, 3-ply silicone couplers and leverages factory airbox mounts for a seamless, hassle-free installation that fits like a factory component. This intake system enhances engine bay aesthetics and provides superior heat resistance through its robust aluminum alloy heat shield, which channels high-pressure air from the front grill directly to the velocity stack. Optional lid upgrades are available in polymer or carbon fiber for a customized look. For harsh climates, an optional filter upgrade offers a 3-step filtration process, including a pre-filter sock, for superior protection against contaminants. Power gains of up to 15WHP and 13 ft-lbs of torque are achievable, with even greater increases possible on hybrid and larger turbo setups. Flow bench testing shows up to a 67% increase in airflow compared to the stock system. The installation time is approximately one hour using basic hand tools. This system is 50-State CARB legal with EO number D-838-1. **Important Fitment Notes:** * Does not fit Audi A3 engines equipped with a MAF sensor, commonly found in FWD models. * VW Arteon models are not compatible with the optional carbon fiber lid without washer filler neck relocation. The Arteon also requires the IE Turbo Inlet Pipe upgrade, sold separately. * Some European models may have a front-mounted crash sensor that requires modification to the heat shield for clearance.
