APR Carbon Intake System - MQB 1.8T / 2.0T EA888 Gen 3 
The APR Carbon fibre Intake System is an attractive high performance upgrade for the latest 1.8T and 2.0T engines as found in various MQB platform vehicles.

The factory intake design has the foundation for excellent performance, but much of this is sacrificed in an effort to meet other design requirements. With requirements set forth for only supporting factory power output levels, low engine sound levels and long service intervals, there is plenty of room for improvement.

The APR Carbon fibre Intake System increases performance primarily by improving mass airflow through the system while still proving adequate filtration. Expect greater horsepower and torque through the power band with a more direct and responsive feel upon pressing the throttle. Sounds from the engine and turbocharger are enhanced and some may even experience better fuel economy depending on driving style.

Research and Development: 
Uncommon to most in the market today, APR spared no expenses during the research and development period. For the better part of a year, APR’s Mechanical Engineers created several prototype intake designs utilizing our in house Sterolithography 3D printer and other rapid prototyping techniques. Various filter mediums were tested in conjunction with the new intake designs through simulated models, flow bench analysis, dyno data collection and in real world applications all in an effort to derive the best possible solution.

Intake Air Temperature Management: 
Intake air temperature (IAT) plays a critical role in engine performance, especially on turbocharged engines where the ambient air temperature is raised twice through both compression via the turbocharger, and then again during the engine’s compression stroke.

In an effort to maintain the lowest possible starting IAT, the APR Intake system begins by drawing air from the coldest possible location, which is the front end of the vehicle before the radiator. Air travels a short path through the intake system, past the filter and on its way to the turbocharger through a sealed intake design that prevents ingestion of hot, under-hood air. Finally, the intake’s carbon composite design features a thin fibreglass backing, which improves thermal insulative properties.

Filtration: 
APR’s design requirements called for an intake filter medium that exhibited high flow capabilities, long service life and adequate filtration properties. While traditional paper filters and even some foam filters can achieve one or more of these requirements, only a pleated cotton filter was able to achieve all three. This is due in part to the intake housing’s volute design and turning vanes. With even pressure flow distribution across the entire filter element, the filter is loaded more evenly, retaining performance over time, increasing the length of the maintenance intervals, and increasing the filter's effectiveness.

Sound: 
In an effort to please customers unaware of the sounds caused by turbocharging an engine, as well as cross platform use on both economy and performance oriented vehicles, the OEM was tasked with creating an intake that many would consider to be too quiet for a performance vehicle. APR’s design requirements called for an intake system that only delivered the engine’s true turbocharged sound as air is sucked through the turbocharger or exhausted from the diverter valve upon lifting off the throttle. The inherent stiffness of carbon fiber composite material results in an induction resonance from the engine allowing the occupants to hear a clean and crisp intake note without being overbearing or cheap sounding in nature.

Installation: 
The intake system comes pre-assembled from APR ready to be installed in minutes with minimal tools. With the factory unit removed, the intake slips into place and connects to the factory turbo inlet pipe using the OEM hardware without filling the engine bay with additional couplers and hose clamps. Because the system fits in the OEM location, it’s fully compatible with future upgrades from APR, including our larger Stage III Turbocharger Systems.

Optional APR Silicone Coolant Hose:
The factory coolant hose is designed to be routed over the top of the intake system. However, when routed underneath the intake, it’s far more aesthetically appealing. The APR coolant hose replaces the factory unit and routes cleanly under the intake and around the APR catch can without kinking or adding extra stress to the mounting points.

Love This Moisturizer!
I have been using Simple products for as long as I can remember. I love Simple products because they work really well for my dry sensitive skin. I've always used their Replenishing Rich Moisturizer, but I was developing some dry patches on my face that would not go away and I was looking for something more to help with that. When I saw that Simple had come out with the Water Boost Hydrating Gel Cream Face Moisturizer and saw that it was made for dry dehydrated skin I bought it right away. A few minutes after I applied it to my face I could really notice a difference! My skin felt soft and smooth, especially where the dry patches were, and it even looked better too! I've been using it now for about a week and a half and my dry patches have gone away! The only downfall is that it comes in a small tube. I wish they would come out with a bigger size, but other than that I absolutely love this moisturizer and would recommend it to anyone with dry/dehydrated/sensitive skin! I also use this product along with the Simple Water Boost Micellar Face wash, and at night I use the Simple Water Boost Skin Quench Sleeping Cream.

LOVED IT!
LOVED IT! I’ve been using the Simple brand makeup wipes removers and they’re THE BEST I have tried especially since I have extremely sensitive skin. Even though this moisturizer is a bit(but just a tiny bit) greasy, I don’t mind because it’s REALLY moisturizing and it’s perfect for my combination skin. It’s a gel but it’s a bit watery. However, once you put some on your face your skin just drinks it in. You don’t need much of the product because just a small amount of product is needed. My face feels nice afterwards and soft. Bought 2 more for back ups. Also, yes it’s a small tube(which it’s perfect for traveling) but honestly a little bit goes a long way because you don’t need too much product since it’s a watery gel so I think the tube can last quite a bit! I love this brand and will look into trying some of their other products in the near future.

Does the job for less $
I bought this moisturizer when a move to California left my face looking its age for the first time in my life. The Arnica-infused Olive Oil I've been using for years was protecting my skin as a barrier, but not adding any hydration, and the drier climate forced a change. I was looking for something without synthetic fragrance, heavy oils, or a high price tag. Simple's Hydrating Gel Cream fit the bill, and I was curious about how a gel might feel. After a week of use I have noticed a few small spots which don't stay long, but my décolletage did produce some worrying pimples. I'm not ready to throw it out yet, because there are other factors to eliminate before passing judgement. My face is perceptively brighter and the skin under my eyes (main problem area) is improving. A little goes a long ways - so no need to fret over a mere 1.7oz. The gel does take a few moments to absorb, and I generally give it a few more minutes to sink in before I am able to apply a mineral sunscreen in the morning without "pilling." Also, I get a subtlely warm sensation on my face after having exfoliated - but there is no accompanying redness or lasting irritation - probably some of the fillers having a mild reaction on the surface. So far I'm willing to continue using this product because I think it's a good value for the price. Not sure I'd stick with it if I found something better though.

The best product i have EVER used!!!!!!
This is honestly the best product i have EVER used. I’ve been using it for 2-3 years. I have super sensitive skin and for some reason my skin gets SUPER dehydrated. I have tried many products but nothing has worked as well as this. I swear by this hydrating moisturizer/gel and i recommend it to any and everyone. I do the upwards and outward motions like suggested and it instantly absorbs. It never feels sticky which is a HUGE plus. A little bit definitely goes a long way. I use it on my face, neck and other areas of my body that seems to feel dehydrated (elbows, knees and back of hands). I have heard from multiple people that my face has never looked more hydrated than it does right now. My favorite part is every time i apply it it always feel cool temperature wise. It leaves a cool and clean feeling like i have put a cool compress on my face. I would recommend this product 100x over and over.

Best cream ever!
I really love this “Simple” gel cream I hope they never stop making it. I have oily skin and other creams seem to just Irritate my skin or just feel thick and heavy like it’s blocking my pores. Not this cream. It feels light weight and yet moisturizing. It has no scent. I use it all over my face and my neck. I have bought department store moisturizers and yet I keep coming back to this Simple hydrating gel cream it never fails me. The only problem is I discovered I can’t find it in any of the stores anymore in my area, I don’t know why but I never thought to look for it here on Amazon. So now I’m a faithful purchaser of this product here on Amazon I love it so much I just hope the company still will continue to make it and that Amazon will continue to sell it.
