Loading ...Turbocharged Volkswagen and Audi Models Become Even Sportier with K&N Air Intake System
By
Lately, it seems like everyone is trying to do more with less, even in the automotive industry. Car buyers want vehicles which have lots of power, are reliable, and use as little fuel as possible. Car manufacturers can deliver a big punch from a small engine through the use of a turbocharger. Many Volkswagen and Audi vehicles use turbochargers, which is one reason why these brands of vehicles are among the most popular, fun to drive, and fuel efficient vehicles on the road today.
K&N has designed an air intake system (part number 69-9504TTK) for 2009-2010 Volkswagen Passat, Eos, CC, GTI, and Audi A3 vehicles equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged gasoline engine. The K&N intake system replaces the vehicle’s factory air box and air intake tube with a mandrel-bent aluminum tube and open element cone filter, which work together to eliminate restriction and allow the engine to perform at its full potential. K&N engineers designed this air intake to be easy to install with common hand tools and photo-illustrated step-by-step instructions. The vehicle’s factory air box and filter are replaced with K&N’s washable RX-4730XD XStream® top air filter and a metal heat shield assembly. The heat shield helps to funnel cooler outside air into the RX-4730XD air filter and helps isolate hot engine heat allowing a clean, cool air supply for the turbocharger to inhale. The mandrel-bent intake tube efficiently channels the incoming air flow from the filter to the turbocharger, in a design compatible with all factory emissions equipment and sensors. The RX-4730XD air filter provides outstanding engine protection and it will last for up to 100,000 miles before service is necessary, depending on driving conditions. Results from testing on K&N’s chassis dynamometer shows the 69-9504TTK air intake system provides a 9.19 HP increase at 4853 RPM when tested on a 2009 Audi A3 with a 2.0 liter turbo engine. Increased performance does not have to sacrifice reliability; the K&N 69-9504TTK is backed by K&N’s Million Mile Limited Warranty and Consumer Protection Pledge, and is compatible with your vehicle’s engine management software so no vehicle modifications are necessary in order to realize this added performance. The K&N 69-9504TTK will fit the following Volkswagen and Audi vehicles: 2010 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2.0L Find K&N products for your vehicle using the K&N application search then use the K&N dealer search to find a K&N dealer in your part of the world. |
