This 2013 Golf R came to us wanting upgrades to both engine and exhaust and for two main reasons: power and performance. So, with a high pressure fuel pump, cold air intake, and down pipe, all provided courtesy of APR, it went from sporty to super sporty in no time.



Parts Installed:
Audi/VW 2.0T FSI High Pressure Fuel Pump Upgrade by APR
VW MK6 ED35/Golf R 2.0T FSI Transverse Cold Air Intake System
VW Golf R/Audi TT AWD Downpipe Only
