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!
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
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
Great video, I tried to install this intake system on my car, and turbo inlet screws are not the same as yours. Mine was mounted vertical. everything else is the same, with that said, it was challenge to get the screws out.
@@danny_osorio No, its a 2022 VW Arteon, I think it has the same engine at MK8. I have some videos on my channel if you like to see. I did not have a DYI on it, but you can see the engine bay and see if it's similar.
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.
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
@@jcook8191 I haven’t had any issues and haven’t heard anyone that has. I took the intake out a few weeks ago to install the short shifter and there was no rubbing or anything that I could see on the coolant line.
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.
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!
Thanks for the video! Thinking about doing this. How does the daily drive sound? Comfort mode and cruising. Is there more noise? Are there any power gains with this mod? Thanks!
Thanks for watching! The daily drive is even better, there more throttle response and the turbo noise is louder too. Nothing uncomfortable or anything. Power gains, you’re gaining about 10 hp (per APR website) and more throttle response.
Hey. Trying to install this on my MK8 GTI too. Finding that when I put the filter on the lip of the box, a plastic ring on the box came off and is loose, seems very difficult to get the filter onto box with the plastic ring. Did you need to take off this plastic ring? Or you got the filter on with the ring still on the box? Thanks!
@@Tyomason hey! I actually ended up breaking that ring off by accident because it was so tough to get it on 😂 I super glued it back on and had to loosen the clamp basically all the way to get the filter on. Don’t take that ring off because the clamp will sit in between it and the wall of the filter box when you tighten it
@@baburgess I put the cover on shortly after and did lose a little noise, but it keeps a bit more of the hot air out which is nice. I also installed the APR intercooler with the entire hose kit. The turbo muffler delete alone brings the turbo noises back to life by a lot
@@danny_osorio just installed my Apr intake for my gti! The sound is IMMENSE! I'm just a little curious about the coolant hose under the intake being slightly bent. Hopefully shouldn't be an issue!
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.
Man that sounds awesome. I’ve got a 24 MK 8 GTI that I’m slowly getting my list together for mods and this is on my list. Thank you for your video. It’s great.

Yeah it is! Thanks! Lots of mods coming, so I will take a look 🤙🏼
Thanks for sharing this installation as I’ve been interested in seeing this mod. ❤
I hope you enjoy it!
Great video. Super helpful. You kept it simple and didn’t go off on any tangents. 👍🏼
@@jackdub75 thanks man! Glad it was helpful!! How do you like the intake?
@@danny_osorio it’s amazing. The sound is definitely fun to listen to. Whoosh lol 👍🏼🙏🏼👍🏼🙏🏼

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?
Got an APR catback already on the car also a raceseng knob. Going with the APR stage 1 91 octane tune in the future
Mine is on its way. Same part but putting on a 2023 Arteon SEL Premium R-line.
@@baburgess nice, I absolutely love those cars!
Put one on my 2023 Arteon SEL R line yesterday!

@@GenXContent that’s interesting. A Mk8?
@@danny_osorio 2022 VW Arteon which does have the MK8 EA888.4 Evo 4 engine in it. you canfind me on VWVortex John-Arteon if you are on there.

@@danny_osorio I have subscribed to your channel I keep look out when you put tutorial videos.
So frustrating APR is not transparent about the need to buy a SAI filter ! They should increase the price to cover the damn filter.
@@fernandodavidez757 I feel your pain brother. I went though a whole issue with them about it

Good to know about the breather hose filter as I’ll be doing this to my MK8. Thank you!
You won’t regret it! Have fun!
No worries about the coolant line u see the intake? I see APR sells one that has more clearance
@@jcook8191 I haven’t had any issues and haven’t heard anyone that has. I took the intake out a few weeks ago to install the short shifter and there was no rubbing or anything that I could see on the coolant line.

@@danny_osorio thanks sir
Will try your advice.
@@jj-tq4hx absolutely! Let me know how it goes!
That intake breather hose does it connect to anything ?
@@MattSteichen you’ll need to buy a separate SAI breather filter.

Thoughts on open vs putting a cover on?
@@baburgess I put the cover on shortly after and did lose a little noise, but it keeps a bit more of the hot air out which is nice. I also installed the APR intercooler with the entire hose kit. The turbo muffler delete alone brings the turbo noises back to life by a lot
Sounds awesome! looking to do the same to my MK8 as well. Have you noticed any better throttle response?
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.
@@danny_osorioever try the obdeleven throttle response change?
@@baburgess not yet! I’ve heard great things about it though
@@danny_osorio just installed my Apr intake for my gti! The sound is IMMENSE! I'm just a little curious about the coolant hose under the intake being slightly bent. Hopefully shouldn't be an issue!
@@homeskillet2606 let’s gooooo! No issue with the coolant line on my end.
What blow off valve are you running?
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.
Man that sounds awesome. I’ve got a 24 MK 8 GTI that I’m slowly getting my list together for mods and this is on my list. Thank you for your video. It’s great.
does this require a tune?
No tune needed! Just install and enjoy! 🤙🏼
Nice man !! Will you get doing a flash with APR or Uni?
Absolutely! Planning on doing a few more mods and then getting a tune 🤙🏼
You are gonna lose low end torque and some horsepower
@@mattsmith7379 didn’t lose any torque or power, feels great 🤙🏼
