UNITRONIC CARBON FIBER COLD AIR INTAKE FOR 1.8/2.0 TSI GEN3 MQB
With extensive background in engineering the finest in Performance Software, Unitronic developed an intake system that maximizes performance of vehicles equipped with the 1.8/2.0 TSI Gen3 (MQB) engines.
This translates into a complete Cold Air Intake System that is sure to perform to the maximum, providing increased power, air velocity, and throttle response, while also decreasing air intake temperatures and turbo lag.
In addition, Unitronic's Cold Air Intake will enhance the sound of your turbocharger and diverter valve.
Features / Benefits
- Optimized Design for Maximum Performance:
- Unitronic specifically developed its air intake system to provide increased power, air velocity, and throttle response, while also decreasing air intake temperatures and turbo lag.
- 2/2 Twill Prepreg Carbon Fiber Weave:
- High quality material to give you a lightweight, durable and resistant airbox.
- Stainless Steel Hardware:
- Rust resistant hardware that will outlast your vehicle.
- Quality Silicone Components:
- Multi ply silicone turbo inlet hose is strong enough to avoid collapsing when the engine is under hard acceleration.
- Autoclave Construction:
- The curing process is completed in an autoclave to eliminate resin voids thus ensuring a strong component. A UV and heat resistant clear coat is then added on top of the carbon fiber to protect it against discoloration and give it a nice, smoot surface finish.
- Oversized Airbox Air Inlet for Increased Airflow:
- Airflow capacity is increased when combined with Unitronic’s Carbon Fiber Air Duct.
- Enhanced Turbocharger Sound:
- Unitronic’s Cold Air Intake Systems feature an open element design which results in a more audible sound from your vehicle’s turbocharger and Diverter Valve (DV).
- Airbox Water Drainage Provision:
- Open slots located at the bottom of airbox allow for the drainage of water.
- Proprietary 3-inch Filter:
- Unitronic’s proprietary 3’’ dry cotton filter is engineered to maximize air flow with its radius base while keeping dust and foreign debris away from your engine.
