What do I need to fit the APR Carbon Fiber Airbox for 8V RS3?

The APR Carbon Fiber Airbox for 8V RS3 and 8S TT RS requires the APR Turbocharger Inlet System and the APR Carbon Fiber Intake Filter System, both sold separately. Cars from 2019 with the updated corrugated diverter valve hose also need the APR diverter valve adapter, part CI100038-G.

Can the APR RS3 airbox be run open or closed?

Yes. It ships open for the maximum turbo and induction sound, and a removable panel included in the kit converts it to a closed configuration for a more refined tone. Owners can switch between the two without buying additional parts from APR.

How does the APR airbox keep intake air cool?

Dual frontal feeds draw ambient air from above and in front of the radiator stack, away from the hot engine bay, and a configurable heat shield isolates the filter from engine heat. Together they improve thermal management without restricting the APR inlet and filter.

Does the APR airbox fit right-hand-drive cars?

No. APR states that this system does not fit right-hand-drive vehicles. It suits left-hand-drive RS3 and TT RS models, which includes every 8V RS3 and 8S TT RS sold new in the United States, so imported cars should be checked first.

Can I change the badge on the APR RS3 airbox?

Yes. The airbox comes with a stealth matte black APR badge, and APR offers polished and matte silver badge upgrades separately. The badge swap changes the look under the hood without affecting the airbox or its performance. Only the badge changes.

Description

APR Carbon Fiber Airbox for 8V Audi RS3 and 8S TT RS

APR’s Carbon Fiber Airbox for 8V Audi RS3 and 8S TT RS is the final piece of APR’s modular front-to-turbo intake for the 2.5 TFSI EVO, built for cars that already run the APR Turbocharger Inlet and Carbon Fiber Intake Filter. Made from multi-layer carbon fiber, it draws cooler ambient air from both above and in front of the radiator stack while shielding the filter from engine bay heat. It ships open for the fullest turbo and induction sound, and a removable panel turns it into a quieter closed box. It is for the five-cylinder owner finishing an APR intake build, not a standalone upgrade.

Design and Performance

The configurable heat shield isolates the filter without restricting the high-flow APR components behind it, so the airbox improves thermal management while keeping the airflow the inlet and filter were designed for. Stainless steel mounting hardware is included, and the stealth matte black APR badge can be upgraded to polished or matte silver versions sold separately by APR.

Features

Multi-layer carbon fiber construction
Dual frontal air feeds from above and in front of the radiator stack
Configurable heat shield for filter isolation
Open by default, with an included removable panel for a closed configuration
Stainless steel mounting hardware
Stealth matte black APR badge

Applications

Audi RS3: 8V | 2017-2020 | 2.5L I5 TFSI

Notes

The Carbon Fiber Airbox for 8V RS3 and 8S TT RS is not a direct fit on its own: it requires the APR Turbocharger Inlet System for 8V Audi RS3 and 8S TT RS and the APR Carbon Fiber Intake Filter System for 8V Audi RS3 and 8S TT RS, both sold separately
2019 and later cars with the updated corrugated diverter valve hose also need the APR Intake Diverter Valve Adapter for 8V Audi RS3 and 8S TT RS
Does not fit right-hand-drive vehicles

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
