Product Specification

KYOSTAR Carbon Fiber Cold Air Intake System for VW Golf GTI, Golf R, Audi A3, S3, TT & TTS EA888 Gen 3

The KYOSTAR Carbon Fiber Cold Air Intake System is designed for selected Volkswagen and Audi models equipped with the EA888 Gen 3 turbocharged engine. Featuring a fully enclosed carbon fiber airbox, carbon fiber intake tube, and reusable high-flow panel filter, this intake system reduces factory intake restriction while improving airflow efficiency, turbo response, throttle response, and induction sound.

Constructed from lightweight carbon fiber, the enclosed intake housing helps reduce heat soak from the engine bay while maintaining stable intake temperatures during performance driving. Designed around factory mounting locations, this system provides an OEM-style installation solution for daily driving, street performance, and modified EA888 Gen 3 applications.

Features

• Real carbon fiber airbox and intake tube provide lightweight construction with a premium motorsport-inspired appearance.

FAQ

Q: Is this intake compatible with EA888 Gen 2 or EA113 engines?
A: No. This intake system is designed specifically for selected EA888 Gen 3 1.8T and 2.0T turbocharged applications. EA888 Gen 2 and EA113 engines use different intake layouts.

Q: Does this carbon fiber intake improve turbo sound?
A: Yes. The high-flow intake design increases induction sound and provides a more noticeable turbocharger sound during acceleration.

Q: Does the enclosed carbon fiber airbox help reduce heat soak?
A: Yes. The enclosed design helps isolate incoming air from engine bay heat and supports more stable intake temperatures.

Q: Is ECU tuning required after installation?
A: No ECU tuning is required for installation. However, tuning can help maximize performance when combined with additional engine modifications.
