After a few hiccups when ordering the APR intake, I finally got it and was so excited to install it! I love the sound of the turbo and the blowoff. I plan on ordering a cover soon, I feel like it almost defeats the purpose leaving it open since it'll be sucking up all the hot engine air.
Apologies for all the focus breathing from my camera! Forgot to leave it in manual focus. Can you tell how nervous I was to make my first RU-vid video, especially when working on this beauty?
Let me know what you think of the APR sounds and what intake you went with!

The most difficult part for me (not including the coolant reroute hose which was surprisingly simple) was actually fitting the filter to the lip in the box. Bent my fins on mine

@mikepollastrelli7725 3 дня назад

The ring that is on the lip in the box that i guess allows the filter to seat really securely got in the way. I pulled it off and effortlessly put the filter on. I ordered a new filter cause of the OCD lol

Dude, that is the most frustrating thing in bent one of the fins too! But luckily it’s facing down so I can’t see it 😂. Thanks a bunch for watching the video! The intake makes the turbo sound so much better

@mikepollastrelli7725 2 дня назад

It’s a great mod very simple install and happy with the fitment and added turbo noise

@@mikepollastrelli7725 what else is in the books for your Mk8?

@mikepollastrelli7725 2 дня назад

Got an APR catback already on the car also a raceseng knob. Going with the APR stage 1 91 octane tune in the future

These are a great bang for your buck intake and sound great! We'd be happy to help with any future mods and we have a huge catalog of stuff available for the MK8 GTI's!

@danny_osorio Месяц назад

Yeah it is! Thanks! Lots of mods coming, so I will take a look 🤙🏼

Thank you for posting this. You made it look easy with your step by step instructions. I have a 2023 GTI S, and am thinking about doing the same, but might need a professional to do it for me.

@danny_osorio Месяц назад

Of course, thanks man! I'm far from being a professional mechanic, but this was so easy to install I figured I'd try to do it myself. I'm happy I did because it's way more fun and rewarding knowing I did it. If you want to shoot me a message, I can walk you through the steps on a FaceTime call or something, happy to help you out

Good to know about the breather hose filter as I’ll be doing this to my MK8. Thank you!

@danny_osorio 27 дней назад

You won’t regret it! Have fun!

@richardgomola29 Месяц назад

Nice man !! Will you get doing a flash with APR or Uni?

@danny_osorio Месяц назад

Absolutely! Planning on doing a few more mods and then getting a tune 🤙🏼

@homeskillet2606 Месяц назад

Sounds awesome! looking to do the same to my MK8 as well. Have you noticed any better throttle response?

@danny_osorio Месяц назад

Thanks! You won’t be upset with upgrading the intake, easy install too. Didn’t notice too much throttle response change until I tuned it.

Hello Nice tutorial. I am trying to install my CIA on my Arteon 2.0T and the intake hose rear clamp is positioned in the lower part next to a connector. It's impossible to try to loosen the bolt. I have tried every tool. Sockets don't fit, right angled screw driver don't fit. Really frustrated with this. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

@danny_osorio Месяц назад

Thank you! That is super frustrating that you can’t get the clamp off. A few tricks that i can think of is - try to reach it from under the car if you can put it on jackstands. Not ideal, but you’ll be able to loosen and reposition. - I’ve had to work with some allen keys held by a closed 1/4 wrench to get in some real tight spots - maybe a socket with some locking pliers - last resort would be to remove the connector if you can I hope this helps, let me know!

@@danny_osorio thanks sir Will try your advice.

What blow off valve are you running?

@danny_osorio Месяц назад

No blowoff valve! That's just the sounds that comes with the new intake. I thought about adding a BOV, but after hearing it with just the intake, I figured I didn't need it.
