APR Tuned - 2.0 TDI Carbon Fiber Cold Air Intake System

[Zeb]

I am interested in ordering the carbonio intake system for my Passat. APR Tuned have launched there new intake systems for Diesel Engines. Is this available in the U.K now?

Heres the link:

Looks very nice!

I'm surprised that the only air inlet is the stock opening on the grill though, would have thought a bigger feed down by the bumper would have been better - still if it does the job why change it.

Not sure about $299 though!

Your right about that! APR are the first company to design an intake system for TDI engines, it took them a longtime to figure it out.
It is pricey, plus the shipping was going to cost me $151 Looks like I will have to email APR, and ask if this kit is available in the U.K

Wow! that does make it expensive - I'm sure it wont be long before it hits the UK though. Not as nice looking and with no specific fitment for the passat but how about a BMC? http://www.bmcairfilters.com/carbon-...d_pr3_4_1.aspx I would expect the same kind of performance gains?

It doesn't list one for B6 passat. Only A3 or Golf Mk5. Does the MK5 one fit?

I don't why they haven't listed for Passat B6 models??? I assume that all VAG 2.0 TDI engines are the same, and will fit and work on our model.

BMC only do filters, whereas APR do the whole thing. I'm going to drop them an email today, and hope it will be availble soon
