HIGHLIGHTS

PROFILE

The ARM MK8 Golf R Intake is a 4" cold air intake system for the EA888 Gen 4, built with a 6-layer reinforced silicone intake tube, heat shield, and a CNC machined PCV adapter for OEM-fit crankcase ventilation. It pairs directly with the ARM MK8 Golf R Turbo Inlet and fits the VW MK8 Golf R and Audi 8Y S3, both 2.0T AWD.



The ARM MK8 Golf R Intake was designed to remove the factory intake restrictions and maximize airflow into your EA888 Gen 4. Upgrading to the ARM MK8 Intake allows your Golf R to breathe easier and spool faster, whether you're running the stock turbo or stepping up to a hybrid or upgraded unit. The ARM MK8 Golf R Intake is ideal for stock turbo, tuned, and upgraded turbo builds alike, and is engineered to pair directly with the ARM MK8 Golf R Turbo Inlet for a fully unrestricted path from filter to turbo.

CONSTRUCTION

The ARM MK8 Golf R Intake features a massive 4" inlet size at the air filter to maximize airflow for even the most demanding builds. The intake tube is built from a single piece of 4" 6-layer reinforced silicone, giving it the rigidity to hold its shape under boost and vibration while sealing seamlessly to the factory turbo inlet or the ARM MK8 Golf R Turbo Inlet.

The ARM Golf R Intake kit includes a wrinkle-black aluminum heat shield, isolating the filter and intake tube from engine bay heat to keep intake air temps down and protect against power loss from heat soak. The two-piece design keeps the system fully enclosed while still allowing easy access for servicing the filter.

To keep the factory crankcase ventilation system intact, the ARM MK8 Golf R Intake includes a CNC machined PCV adapter engineered to fit directly to the OEM PCV fitting, no cutting or splicing required. An integrated vacuum line barb is built into the intake tube so factory vacuum-referenced lines reconnect cleanly, with no extra fittings or adapters needed.

Installation of the ARM MK8 Golf R Intake will open up the sound of your turbo and enhance the intake sounds of your 2.0T. You can expect to hear significantly increased volume of your turbo spool on acceleration, as well as a very audible venting of air when letting off the throttle.

The air filter in the ARM MK8 Golf R Intake Kit utilizes an inverted design to maximize surface area.  Combining the inverted filter design with the massive 5.5" base gives you over 300 cubic inches of filter surface area.

 The ARM MK8 Golf R Intake comes complete with an integrated SAI Filter which installs directly into the heat shield, allowing access to cooler air for the secondary air intake.
