Is the APR Cast Turbo Inlet for 8V RS3 a complete intake?

No. The APR Cast Turbo Inlet for 8V RS3 and 8S TT RS is only the cast aluminum inlet from the APR inlet system. It needs the APR carbon fiber back tube, part CI100038-B, or a custom tube with suitable couplers, so it is aimed at owners building their own intake setup.

Who should buy the cast inlet instead of the full system?

The cast inlet suits do-it-yourself builders who already have an intake setup they want to keep and only need the high-flow turbo inlet. Owners looking for a straightforward bolt-on upgrade should choose the complete APR Turbocharger Inlet System, which includes the carbon tube and all hardware.

Does the APR cast turbo inlet work with larger turbochargers?

Yes. Interlocking adapter rings form a port-matched entrance to the stock turbo, and other ring sizes allow the inlet to suit larger hybrid turbochargers. That makes it a sound base for a five-cylinder build that may grow over time. The rings are sold by APR.

Is a heat shield included with the APR cast inlet?

Yes. APR includes a heat shield to protect the inlet from the hot turbocharger manifold, along with mounting hardware. Keeping the inlet cooler helps intake air temperatures on the 2.5 TFSI, especially in traffic or after hard driving. Fitting it is straightforward.

What material is the APR cast turbo inlet made from?

APR casts the inlet from 356-F aluminum and leaves it in a natural silver finish. The casting process allows the organic, maximum-area shape that APR says outflows smooth, continuously tapering inlet designs on this engine. It is supplied with mounting hardware.

Description

APR Cast Turbo Inlet for 8V Audi RS3 and 8S TT RS

APR’s Cast Turbo Inlet for 8V Audi RS3 and 8S TT RS is the cast aluminum half of APR’s turbocharger inlet system, sold on its own for owners who want to build it into a different intake setup. The 4 inch inlet is shaped organically to keep the largest possible cross-section right to the compressor cover of the 2.5 TFSI EVO turbocharger, which is where APR found the factory system most restrictive. It is aimed at the do-it-yourself builder; owners who want a complete bolt-on solution should choose the full APR Turbocharger Inlet System instead.

Design and Performance

Interlocking adapter rings give a port-matched entrance to the turbocharger and can be exchanged to suit larger turbos, and a heat shield is included to protect the inlet from the turbo manifold. APR designed the casting to mate with its own carbon fiber back tube, and adapting it to another intake may need special couplers.

Features

4 inch cast 356-F aluminum turbo inlet
Organic shape that maximizes cross-sectional area
Interchangeable adapter rings for various turbochargers
Heat shield included
Mounting hardware included
Designed to pair with the APR carbon fiber back tube

Applications

Audi RS3: 8V | 2017-2020 | 2.5L I5 TFSI
Audi TT RS: 8S | 2018-2022 | 2.5L I5 TFSI

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.
