If you’re looking to give your Audi S3 or VW Golf R a serious boost, the APR Turbo Inlet System is where it’s at. This isn’t just some half-baked upgrade; it’s a full-on overhaul of the air intake path from the turbocharger to the airbox. Designed for the 2022-2025 Audi S3, 2022-2024 VW Arteon, and 2022-2025 VW Golf R, this system tackles the restrictive bits that can really hold back performance.

Now, you might be thinking, “Why not just swap out a piece here and there?” Well, let me tell you, piecemealing it together can lead to compatibility issues and a patchwork design that just doesn’t cut it. With the APR setup, you’re getting a cohesive system that’s engineered to maximize airflow. The diameter starts at 80mm and can expand up to 88mm for those who want to run larger airboxes. On the Golf R, we’re talking about over a 30% increase in flow at every inlet depression we measured. That means your turbo doesn’t have to work as hard, which keeps temps down and performance up.

This system works seamlessly with the factory airbox, but if you’re in the mood for something a bit sportier, it pairs beautifully with APR’s own intake filters or any of their other intake systems like the carbon fiber or PEX setups. Sure, you could go all out with the complete APR intake system, but if you’re looking for a solid upgrade without replacing everything, this is your ticket.

One cool feature is the wire-reinforced hose—no worries about it collapsing under pressure or heat. Plus, it’s lined with fluorosilicone, making it resistant to oil and fuel, which is a nice touch considering how messy things can get in the engine bay. The DV connection point is made from billet aluminum, and you get strong hose clamps included, along with an optional Oetiker clamp for a clean DV reroute. And if you ever decide to step up to a bigger turbo, the turbo inlet adapter is removable, so you can easily modify it to fit your needs.
