Is the APR Turbo Inlet Back Tube a complete intake?

No. The APR Turbo Inlet Back Tube is only the carbon fiber rear section of the APR inlet system. It connects to the APR cast turbo inlet, part CI100038-C, which must be fitted as well, so it suits owners building or repairing their own setup.

Who should buy the back tube instead of the full APR system?

The tube suits owners who already have the APR cast inlet, need a replacement tube, or are adapting the APR inlet to a different intake. Owners looking for a straightforward bolt-on upgrade should choose the complete APR Turbocharger Inlet System, which includes this tube and the cast inlet.

Does the APR RS3 back tube work with the factory airbox?

Yes. APR designed the tube to work with the factory intake or with the APR Carbon Fiber Intake Filter System. Some other intake setups may need special couplers to connect, so check the joint sizes before ordering if you plan to use an aftermarket airbox.

What size is the APR Turbo Inlet Back Tube?

The APR Turbo Inlet Back Tube is a 4 inch carbon fiber tube, the same section used in the complete APR inlet system. The large diameter keeps the flow path open between the intake and the cast inlet on the 2.5 TFSI five-cylinder engine.

Is mounting hardware included with the APR carbon back tube?

Yes. APR supplies mounting hardware with the tube. Couplers for adapting it to a non-APR intake are not included, so plan for those if you are building a custom setup. Fitting the tube to the APR cast inlet uses the parts in the box.

Description

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

The APR Turbo Inlet Back Tube for 8V Audi RS3 and 8S TT RS is the 4 inch carbon fiber rear tube from the APR Turbocharger Inlet System, offered on its own for do-it-yourself owners adapting the APR inlet to a different intake setup. It joins the intake side to the APR cast turbo inlet, which carries the air the rest of the way to the compressor of the 2.5 TFSI EVO turbocharger. On its own it is not a direct-fit part; it needs the APR cast turbo inlet, and adapting it to another intake may call for special couplers.

Who It Suits

Most owners are better served by the complete APR Turbocharger Inlet System, which includes this tube, the cast inlet and all hardware. The back tube suits builders who already have the cast inlet, are replacing a damaged tube, or are creating their own intake path and want the same large carbon section APR uses.

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.
