If you're looking to really amp up your VW Golf R MKVII, the AMS Performance Carbon Fiber Cold Air Intake is where it's at. This isn't just some shiny upgrade; it's about getting serious airflow into that stock turbocharger. We've swapped out the bulky factory air filter setup for lightweight carbon fiber tubing and a dry media filter. This not only cleans up the engine bay but also pulls in cold air straight from the front of the car, ditching the hot air that the stock system tends to suck in.
Let's talk materials: we went with motorsports-grade carbon fiber that's hand-laid and built to handle high temps. Unlike those other glossy carbon options that fade and crack over time, our intake uses a tough 3-layer, 1mm twill weave prepreg carbon fiber that can handle up to 240??C. So, you can count on it looking good and performing well for the long haul.
One of the biggest perks here is that we've eliminated the engine bay vents that the factory intake has. Those vents let in warm air, which just kills performance. With our setup, you get 100% cold air from that front grill, which is a game changer for turbo performance. Seriously, it's like giving your turbo a breath of fresh air.
And if you're worried about sound, don't be. The factory intake muffles turbo noise to keep things quiet, but that comes at the cost of horsepower. Our design lets your turbo gulp down all the cold air it needs, and trust me, you'll love the sound as it spools up. It's music to any car enthusiast's ears.
We've also designed a large front duct that ensures cold air is distributed evenly over the filter, cutting down on pressure drops and helping your filter last longer between cleanings. This means less hassle for you and more time enjoying the drive. Plus, the whole installation process is a breeze'no cutting, no trimming, and no need to yank off your grill. Just some basic hand tools and you're good to go in no time.
Now, about that filter: it's a washable, reusable synthetic media filter that doesn't require any messy oiling. Just clean it and put it back in. This means no more buying those cheap paper filters down the line. We've specifically tailored the filter size and design to ensure it meets the airflow needs of any MK7 Golf R, even those running upgraded turbos, without sacrificing efficiency.
In short, if you're serious about performance and want a clean, effective upgrade, this intake is a solid choice. It's designed to work seamlessly with other AMS components, like our intercooler and downpipe, so you can build your setup without worrying about compatibility down the road.
Features:- Increases cold air intake for better performance
- Clears out engine bay clutter
- Supports power levels over 600 HP!
- Hand-laid, motorsports-grade carbon fiber
- No fading or yellowing
- 100% cold air from the front
- Even cold air distribution across the filter
- Easy-to-clean dry media filter'no oil needed
- Volkswagen MKVII Golf R (2015-2019; vehicles with SAI need a third-party filter kit)
- Volkswagen MKVII Golf GTI (2015-2020)
- Audi S3/A3 w/ 2.0 TFSI (2013-2020; minor modifications required)
- Seat MK7 Leon / Cupra
So, if you're ready to take your Golf R to the next level, this intake system is a no-brainer.
