AWE Tuning Audi / Volkswagen MQB 1.8T/2.0T/Golf R Carbon Fiber AirGate Intake w/ Lid

What sets this intake apart is its unique AirGate™ lid. With just a few turns of the included hex screws, you can switch between a stealthy, factory-like sound profile or remove the lid entirely to hear more of that satisfying turbo spool and induction noise right from the cabin. This adaptability means you can tailor the sound to your mood or driving situation. The intake itself is handcrafted from genuine 2x2 carbon fiber, a material chosen for its strength and light weight. It's designed to work with the factory ram air inlet, ensuring it captures the coolest air possible, and it retains all the stock mounting points for a straightforward installation. Plus, it includes provisions for proper water drainage, so you don't have to worry about hydrolock.

At the heart of this system is the AWE S-FLO Filter. This high-flow, washable filter is positioned directly in the path of incoming air, maximizing airflow and making service easy. When paired with Stage 2 software, this intake has shown gains of up to 16 horsepower and 9 lb-ft of torque on a GTI, and similar improvements on other MQB vehicles. AWE also backs this intake with their No Check Engine Light Guarantee, so you can install it with confidence. If you're looking to improve your car's breathing and enjoy a more dynamic driving experience, this is a solid option.
