This dry carbon cold air intake kit is custom built for Mercedes M133 2.0T turbo engine for AMG A45 W176 and CLA45 C117. W176 and C117 feature compact engine bay. The turbo runs at extremely high temperature under heavy load. Stock plastic intake suffers poor thermal insulation, leading to obvious heat soak, higher intake temperature and lower oxygen density. This limits continuous turbo power and causes power drop at mid-to-high RPM. Our prepreg dry carbon intake with dedicated cold air scoop draws cool air from front grille and blocks thermal radiation from turbo and cylinder head. Enlarged intake chamber and optimized air path reduce turbulence and intake restriction, boost airflow, improve turbo spool response and unlock M133 engine power, delivering rich textured turbo induction sound. Direct bolt-on replacement, all OEM MAF sensor and vacuum line mounting points preserved. No cutting required. It works without ECU tuning. Better power gain can be achieved with Stage 1 ECU remap, popular upgrade for older M133 hot hatch street and mountain road enthusiasts.

1.Prepreg dry carbon one-piece housing, lightweight & high rigidity. Superior thermal insulation reduces heat soak, stabilizes intake temperature under hard driving and maintains consistent power output of M133.
2.Optimized enlarged intake runners minimize air turbulence and raise airflow, reduce turbo lag, deliver snappier throttle response, faster turbo spool and stronger punch at mid-high RPM.
3.Reusable washable high-flow air filter balances dust filtration and maximum airflow, suitable for daily driving and aggressive mountain runs, cuts long-term maintenance expense.
4.Dedicated cold air duct bypasses hot engine zone, continuously supplies cool ambient air and mitigates power heat loss during prolonged aggressive driving.
5.3D scanned moulding compatible with W176 and C117 chassis, perfectly fits compact engine bay layout. All OEM mounting points for sensors and vacuum hoses reserved, plug & play without modifying stock parts.
6.Premium woven carbon finish upgrades engine bay appearance. Rich textured turbo induction sound during acceleration, combines performance improvement with engine bay styling.
