Compare APR intake layouts, turbo connections and charge cooling with original photos and local installation manuals.
Airflow and cooling in one build
An intake and an intercooler work at different points in the air path. The intake feeds the turbocharger; the intercooler removes heat from the compressed charge. The APR selection at VPP brings these components together with original part numbers, photographs and locally available installation manuals.
Start with the vehicle and its current hardware. Use the vehicle selector or engine directory to find the relevant platforms, then compare the connections on the product page.
Choose the intake layout
The CI100041 PEX intake replaces the MQB airbox and filter assembly. The CI100077 Full Intake also includes the rear pipe and turbo adapter. The EA211 EVO kit serves a different layout with the airbox beside the engine and a vacuum connection.
Garrett and Continental are separate applications
For EA888.4, CI100052 matches the Garrett layout while CI100053 serves the Continental layout. These Full Intake kits are supplied open, without the optional cover. Check the installed turbo when the car has already been modified.
Longitudinal Audi platforms
The B9 A4/A5 PEX intake follows the longitudinal 2.0 TFSI layout without a MAF sensor. The S4/S5 B9 intercooler is a separate application for the turbocharged 3.0 TFSI petrol engine, distinct from TDI and the earlier B8 supercharged engine.
Supporting repeated load
Cooling becomes especially relevant when the engine works hard repeatedly. The MQB/MQB Evo intercooler is one option alongside a suitable intake. Compare it with the other cooling products and plan the complete air path.
Keep the installation details close
Original installation PDFs are downloadable from each selected product page. Manufacturer numbers stay attached to the product and order. For help matching an existing turbo or inlet to a wider engine build, contact VPP. Visit the official APR website for the wider brand programme.
