DO88 - Carbon Intake - VAG EA888 Audi A3 S3 Golf GTI Golf R

The DO88 Intake system for VAG EA888 engines has been developed for vehicles based on both the MQB and MQB EVO platforms. This high-quality Intake system is suitable for various models such as the Audi A3, Audi S3, VW Golf GTI and VW Golf R, and is manufactured from prepreg carbon fibre (2x2 weave) using a vacuum-infused construction.
