This dry carbon cold air intake kit is custom built for Mercedes M282 1.3T turbo engine for A180 W177. The W177 chassis features a compact engine bay. The stock plastic air box has limited space and poor heat insulation. During continuous daily driving or short aggressive runs, trapped heat in engine bay causes heat soak, raising intake air temperature and reducing oxygen density, which weakens the power response of this small-displacement turbo engine. Our prepreg dry carbon intake comes with dedicated cold air scoop, drawing cool fresh air from front grille and blocking thermal radiation from engine and turbo. Enlarged intake chamber and optimized air path reduce turbulence and intake restriction, boost airflow, improve turbo spool and unlock M282 engine power, delivering clean & mild 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 throttle response gain can be achieved with Stage 1 ECU remap, an ideal lightweight entry upgrade for W177 A180 owners.

1.Prepreg dry carbon one-piece housing, lightweight & high rigidity. Carbon fiber delivers better thermal insulation than stock plastic, reduces heat soak, stabilizes intake temperature and maintains consistent power output of M282 small turbo engine.
2.Optimized enlarged intake runners streamline airflow, minimize turbulence and raise airflow, reduce turbo lag, deliver snappier throttle response and smoother low-speed take-off.
3.Reusable washable high-flow air filter balances dust filtration and maximum airflow, perfect for city commuting and cuts long-term maintenance expense.
4.Dedicated front cold air duct bypasses hot engine zone, continuously supplies cool ambient air and mitigates power heat loss during prolonged driving.
5.3D scanned moulding compatible with W177 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. Clean and mild turbo induction sound during acceleration, combines performance improvement with engine bay styling.
