Carbonio's latest carbon fiber intake for the 3.0 TFSI engine is a ram air design
that completely separates the intake filter from the engine bay. Building from
years of experience on and off the race track, Carbonio's and APR's engineering
teams have spent countless hours developing a true cold air and ram air carbon
fiber design that can be recreated affordably for the street performance enthusiast.
For many years professional motorsport organizations have suffered great expense to
properly tune the air intake delivery system for turbocharged engines for use in
endurance and sprint races where every last horsepower and pound feet of torque can
make the difference in position when crossing the finish line. Historically these
designs have proven to be the most efficient and powerful although the most expensive
to produce.
Aftermarket performance companies have attempted to capitalize on these designs
however the cost restraints have typically resulted in compromise and deviation
from the true engineering principles associated with motorsport accomplishment.
Don't be fooled by catch phrases and tag lines alluding to a new intake technology or
special design characteristic. You won't see any of these gimmicks installed on race
cars at the Nurburgring.
Carbonio and APR have gone even further to maintain all oem specifications necessary
to integrate cohesively with an otherwise stock engine to avoid raising eyebrows at
the dealership. Flexibility was another characteristic of Carbonio's and APR's design
whereas the new TFSI intake is also suitable for Stage 1 and Stage 2 modified engines
all the way up to future supercharger upgrades.
Constructed of aerospace grade carbon fiber and designed to remove intake restriction,
APRs Carbonio intake system provides smoother transitional airflow, increased air
velocity, superior insulation of the incoming air to reduce intake air temperatures and
a larger volume of available air to aid throttle response.
Smooth and Direct Air Flow
The OEM intake system vents some of the incoming air into the engine bay and takes
several twists and turns before the air ever reaches the supercharger. The Carbono
intake system simplifies the intake system by directing all incoming air directly
at the filter.
Modular Design
The OEM intake system includes resonators in hose connecting the air box to the throttle
body designed to reduce supercharger whine. The APR Carbonio intake system in Stage I form
replaces the factory air box and filter, and will deliver roughly 11 AWHP over stock. The
Stage II back pipe when combined to the Stage I Air box will increase power further to
around 15 AWHP and will slightly increase intake supercharger whine.
Benefits of the Carbonio CAI System include:
- Increased Horsepower and Torque
- Improved Throttle Response
- Improved Fuel Economy
- Enhanced Engine Volumetric Efficiency
- Enhanced Sound of Supercharger
- Installs in an Hour (does not require bumper or headlight removal)
- Removes OEM intake snorkel which can collapse under boost
- Maintains Clean Appearance by Retaining Factory Engine Covers
- Maintains All Factory Emissions Components
- Fits Both Manual and Automatic Transmissions
- Fully Compatible and Complimentary, with APR Software and Exhaust systems
- Maintains the Thermostatically Controlled OEM Flap Valve Assembly from the Factory Air box
- Modular Design Allows for Performance Gains in Stages and the Ability to Keep the Factory Intake Resonators
