Unlock hidden power and sound from your 2.0T with the ARM Audi A3 S3 8V, MK7 GTI / Golf R Intake Kit. By eliminating factory intake restrictions and using a high‑flow 4" design, this system improves throttle response, turbo spool, and torque across the RPM range—especially at higher revs.
Ideal for stock, tuned IS20 / IS38 turbos, or fully upgraded hybrid turbo builds, the ARM MK7 Intake delivers performance you can feel and sound you can hear.
