APR Releases VW (Mk6) Jetta 2.0L 8v Carbonio Intake
Written by dion on November 14, 2012 – 11:00 am -
APR is pleased to present the Carbonio Carbon Fiber Intake System for the MK6 Jetta 2.0L 8v engine! The Carbonio Intake System is a ram air design that completely separates the intake filter from the engine bay and results in a peak gain of 7 horsepower! Building from years of experience on and off the race track, Carbonio’s and APR’s engineering teams have spent countless hours developing a true cold air and ram air carbon fiber design that can be recreated affordably for the street performance enthusiast.
For many years professional motorsport organizations have suffered great expense to properly tune the air intake delivery system for turbocharged engines for use in endurance and sprint races where every last horsepower and pound feet of torque can make the difference in position when crossing the finish line. Historically these designs have proven to be the most efficient and powerful although the most expensive to produce.
Aftermarket performance companies have attempted to capitalize on these designs however the cost restraints have typically resulted in compromise and deviation from the true engineering principles associated with motorsport accomplishment. Don’t be fooled by catch phrases and tag lines alluding to a new intake technology or special design characteristic. You won’t see any of these gimmicks installed on race cars at the Nurburgring.
Carbonio and APR have gone even further to maintain all oem specifications necessary to integrate cohesively with an otherwise stock engine to avoid raising eyebrows at the dealership. Flexibility was another characteristic of Carbonio’s and APR’s design whereas the new intake is also complementary to other performance modifications.
Constructed of aerospace grade carbon fiber and designed to remove intake restriction, APR’s Carbonio intake system provides smoother transitional airflow, increased air velocity, superior insulation of the incoming air to reduce intake air temperatures and a larger volume of available air to aid throttle response.

This item will be added to the VW (Mk6) Jetta online catalog shortly.

Achtuning is proud to be the Authorized Distributor for Carbonio Cold Air Intake (CAI) systems. Manufactured from aerospace grade carbon fiber, Carbonio further improves this material by incorporating a proprietary thermal barrier layer in its construction.

Carbonio Intake for the 2.0L TDI is finally here!
Written by dion on December 21, 2010 – 3:33 pm -APR must have some sort of contract with Santa and his elves, because this year it’s all about the many new toys APR has to debut for our Audi and VW enthusiasts! The latest news from APR is the release of the Carbonio Intake System for the 2.0L TDI motor!

Carbonio’s latest carbon fiber intake for the 2.0 TDI engine is a ram air design that completely separates the intake filter from the engine bay. Building from years of experience on and off the race track, Carbonio and APR’s engineering teams have spent countless hours developing a true cold air and ram air carbon fiber design that can be recreated for the street performance enthusiast in an affordable manner.
For many years professional motor sport organizations have suffered great expense to properly tune the air intake delivery system for turbocharged engines for use in endurance and sprint races where every last horsepower and pound feet of torque can make the difference in position when crossing the finish line. Historically these designs have proven to be the most efficient and powerful although the most expensive to produce.
Aftermarket performance companies have attempted to capitalize on these designs however the cost restraints have typically resulted in compromise and deviation from the true engineering principles associated with motor sport accomplishment. Don’t be fooled by catch phrases and tag lines alluding to a new intake technology or special design characteristic. You won’t see any of these gimmicks installed on race cars at the Nurburgring.
Carbonio and APR have gone even further to maintain all OEM specifications necessary to integrate cohesively with an otherwise stock engine to avoid raising eyebrows at the dealership. Flexibility was another characteristic of Carbonio and APR’s design whereas the new TFSI intake is also suitable for Stage 1 and Stage 2 modified engines all the way up to and beyond larger turbocharger systems.
Constructed of aerospace grade carbon fiber and designed to remove intake restriction, APR’s Carbonio intake system provides smoother transitional airflow, increased air velocity, superior insulation of the incoming air to reduce intake air temperatures and a larger volume of available air to aid throttle response and turbocharger spool.

Higher Mass Airflow Readings
Ram air induction is accomplished by maintaining the OEM air inlet opening at the front of the leading hood edge which is the highest pressure area of airflow across the entire vehicle. Placement of the air filter as close to this high pressure zone as possible results in overcoming some of the airflow restriction created by even the highest flowing air filters available.

Smooth and Direct Air Flow
The OEM intake system vents some of the incoming air into the engine bay and takes several twists and turns before the air ever reaches the turbo-charger. The Carbonio Intake System simplifies the intake system by directing all incoming air directly at the filter.
Benefits of the Carbonio CAI System include:
- Increased Horsepower and Torque
- Improved Throttle Response
- Decreased Turbo ‘Lag’
- Improved Fuel Economy
- Enhanced Engine Volumetric Efficiency
- Enhanced Sound of Turbo
- Installs in an Hour (does not require bumper or headlight removal)
- Maintains Clean Appearance by Retaining Factory Engine Cover
- Maintains All Factory Emissions Components
- Fits Both Manual and Automatic Transmissions
- Fully Compatible and Complimentary with ECU Upgrade and Exhaust Systems
Application Guide
We have confirmed fitment on the following vehicles in the North American market, however the rest of the world fitment guide is not complete at this time. This intake system is extremely similar to the 2.0 TSI intake system, which fits many vehicles in the Audi, Volkswagen, Skoda and Seat family.

APR gives us a glimpse of the new VW Mk6 2.5L intake by Carbonio
Written by dion on December 20, 2010 – 2:33 pm -APR is at it again with their “teasers”. The latest update from APR is about the Carbonio Intake for the Mk6 2.5L. Slight differences between the Mk5 and Mk6 2.5Ls do not allow for a ram-air intake design similar to the 2.0T applications nor use of the Mk5-specific intake. With its carbon fiber construction, a new mold was produced with these changes in mind and it won’t be long before we will have these available.
As with all “teasers”, updated pricing and power figures will be posted as soon as they are released from APR. Meanwhile, check out these pictures!

APR teases us with pre-debut pics of the Audi (B8) S4 Carbonio Intake
Written by dion on December 16, 2010 – 2:22 pm -APR is very close to the release of their Audi (B8) S4 Carbonio Intake System and they offered up these pictures to tease us with!

Our new S4 owners have been having a difficult time selecting the appropriate intake for their car considering the competition’s intake systems are either un-attractive, made of cheap materials, or simply not producing any extra power. To address these concerns, APR and Carbonio have come up with a two-stage solution that not only gives you the expected power gains and good-looks in the engine bay with high-quality parts, but also offers customers the option of keeping the supercharger sound stock-like and quiet, or louder with the use of the Carbonio Stage 2 Intake.

The APR by Carbonio Intake System is a ram-air intake design completely sealed from the engine bay. Air will draw directly from the OEM ram-air intake tracts and is lead smoothly into the intake chamber. Air is then sucked through the OEM resonated intake tube (used for noise reduction) or through the Carbonio high-flow, non-resonated, carbon fiber intake tube (for more noise, better flow, and even greater looks).
The Stage 1 system will not include the carbon fiber tube from the air box to the engine as the factory tube contains resonators to keep supercharger noise to a minimum. For those interested in hearing the charger, yet without it being noisy as in the case of a fully open intake system, they’ve created a Stage 2 carbon fiber tube leading from the air box to the throttle body.
The choice is yours!



Stay tuned for more photos, data, pricing, and the all important ETA!
