APR Carbon Stage 1 Intake System for Audi S4 B8 3.0 TFSI
APR
Carbon's latest carbon fibre 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, APR
Carbon's and APR's engineering teams have spent countless hours
developing a true cold air and ram air carbon fibre 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 turbo and
supercharged 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.
APR Carbon 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
APR Carbon'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 fibre and designed to remove intake restriction, APR's APR Carbon
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.
