VCTR Performance Audi A3/S3 8V / VW Golf MK7 Carbon Fibre Intake System — Gloss

Overview

This carbon fibre intake system replaces the EA888 Gen3 factory inlet assembly with a more direct, less restricted path to the turbocharger. Carbon fibre construction keeps intake air temperatures lower than the OEM plastic housing, and the gloss finish adds a premium engine bay appearance.

Why Upgrade?

• Improved airflow to the EA888 Gen3 turbocharger over the factory intake
• Reduced intake air temperature compared to the OEM plastic assembly
• Sharper induction sound and more turbo character
• Gloss carbon finish for a clean engine bay

Engineering Focus

The carbon fibre tube runs from the filtration element directly to the turbocharger inlet — removing the airbox and factory ducting that restricts and warms the intake charge. Sized for the IS38 and IS20 turbocharger found across the MK7 platform.
