Unitronic Carbon Fiber Intake for 1.8/2.0 TSI Gen3 MQB – Now Available!

Unitronic® is pleased to announce its Carbon Fiber Intake System for MQB platform vehicles equipped with the 1.8/2.0 TSI Gen3 engines is now available. Unitronic’s Carbon Fiber Intake System is a direct bolt-on upgrade; designed to optimize airflow to the turbocharger, enhance the sound from the engine and turbocharger, all while providing seamless integration, perfect fitment, and an aggressive motorsports-esque appearance in the engine compartment.

Unitronic’s philosophy in engineering Performance Hardware starts by, first, analyzing the factory component(s) in various street and track environments to determine overall performance and likely limitations present beyond certain power levels. Through analysis of the data collected, along with engine calibration and engineering principles applied, Unitronic’s Carbon Fiber Intake System optimizes airflow to the turbocharger, equalizing the pressure gradient throughout the intake system leading to the compressor, while reducing air intake temperature, from a functional, performance oriented standpoint. Additionally, and following suit as is with all of Unitronic Performance Hardware products, ensuring precise fitment and top tier component quality is of utmost importance.

Unitronic-Carbon-Fiber-Intake-18L-20L-TSI-MQB-2

Unitronic’s Carbon Fiber Intake System is specifically designed to achieve these goals by taking air in from its oversized air inlet, integrating directly into the OEM air guide, and continues through its proprietary air filter design featuring a radius-faced filter base, acting as a velocity stack, as well as a ferrule provision to assure smooth and laminar flow between air filter and inner Aluminum intake tube. Airflow continues through its five-ply silicone turbo inlet hose, to the compressor inlet of the turbocharger. These key features combined allow for the equalization of the pressure gradient throughout the intake system, as well as optimizing the pressure ratio pre- and post-compressor resulting in improved efficiency at the same boost levels.

For models equipped with secondary air injection, Unitronic’s optional secondary air injection breather filter is a direct clamp-on style fitment directly to the air pump inlet, ensuring seamless integration along with a clean look inside the engine bay. Additionally, provisions were made for sufficient water drainage to avoid water collecting and potentially leading to turbocharger and engine destruction.

All of Unitronic’s Performance Hardware products are designed using its in-house 3D scanner and modeling software. Data collected is imported into Unitronic’s 3D modeling software, where Unitronic can analyze and interact with the chassis constraints to design an upgraded performance-oriented intake system to fit these constraints perfectly; while ensuring technical aspects and engineering principles are deployed to achieve the maximum level of performance, while ensuring precise fitment and a great overall appearance in the engine bay.

Watch: The Stig Drives (nearly) Seven Generations of Golf GTI

With Volkswagen announcing “major” updates to the Golf, it seems an appropriate time to look back on what we’ve had so far. And who better to guide us through the rich history of the most popular European car ever made than Ben Collins, the former Stig? Some say he’s never met a GTI he doesn’t love, and that he can’t grow any of his own facial hair. All we know is … Ben Collins is actually a pretty solid presenter. Working his way through seven generations of the GTI (skipping over the Mk6) Collins tells us a little bit about each one and matches each mark to its corresponding facial hair craze. The Mk1 GTI for instance, is light and quick, but can lose traction under hard acceleration (in heavy rain). Despite that, Collins calls the Mk1 a “pure gem.” The Mk4, meanwhile, is a powerful return to form after the perhaps too sensible Mk3. Collins ends in the only way he could, with the Mk7, which accelerates faster than a Lamborghini Countach and is all kinds of wonderful. Watch, ...

Watch: The Story of the Ads that Made VW Big in America

The ads for the original Beetle are almost as famous and well-loved as the Beetle itself. Looking back now it’s easy to forget, though, just how easily things could have wrong. A new short from Dial M Films tracks the history of those early Volkswagen ads that sold America on the people’s car. The story, of course, begins with the visionary agency that made the ads: Doyle Dane Bernach (DDB). As a popular agency for Jewish products, no agency was more aware of the implications of Volkswagen, and no one, it seems, was more skeptical of the brand than DDB. “Remember Those Great Volkswagen Ads?” from Dial M Films on Vimeo . William Bernbach, though, was adament that the firm take the client, probably as a way of attracting other lucrative automotive clients. Saddled with a client that he didn’t want, art director Helmut Krone says in the film that he originally came up with ads that were all wrong. Krone tried to do what other manufacturers did and was intent on selling the Beetle ...

Watch: The Zerouno Cruis’n USA

ItalDesign is drumming up excitement for its new supercar based around the same 5.2-liter Audi V10 that powers the R8. Naturally, it hit the road for a cruise around California last week to celebrate Monterey Car Week. There isn’t much in the way of V10 noise—which is a real shame given the sound it makes—but you do at least get a good look at the car inside and out in this video. With a body made entirely of carbon fiber and designed to be as aerodynamic and light as possible, ItalDesign figures that it will be good for a 0-60 time of just 3.2 seconds. “We put it our best skills into the production of the first car,” said Massimo Bovi, head of pre-series production, when the Zerouno was first unveiled in Geneva earlier this year. “Using some of the finest productions methods and engaging our high-skilled workers.” The car features clever aero tricks gleaned from single-seat racing, like a y-duct up front to improve downforce and turn-in. Available in a number of trim levels, the...
