Overview

The aFe Power Momentum GT Pro 5R Cold Air Intake System (Part #50-70035R) is a dyno-proven, bolt-on performance upgrade engineered specifically for the 2018–2019 Jeep Wrangler JL equipped with the turbocharged I4-2.0L engine. Delivering a massive +51% flow increase over the restrictive factory intake — measured at 370 CFM @ 7" H₂O — this sealed cold air intake system unleashes up to +12 HP and +12 lb-ft of torque while maintaining full 50-state CARB compliance (EO# D-550-60). Designed by enthusiasts for adventurers, this is the best cold air intake for 2018-2019 Jeep Wrangler JL 2.0 Turbo owners seeking real, measurable performance gains.

Key Features & Benefits

• +51% Airflow Over Stock — Measured flow of 370 CFM @ 7" H₂O delivers dyno-proven gains of up to +12 HP and +12 lb-ft of torque, transforming throttle response and low-end power.
• Patented One-Piece Roto-Molded Sealed Housing — Custom CAD-designed housing made from heat soak-resistant cross-linked polyethylene eliminates multiple-component housings, ensuring the coolest possible intake air charge is delivered to the engine.
• Built-In Sight Window — A clear inspection window allows you to visually check filter condition without disassembling the airbox, saving time during maintenance.
• Pro 5R 5-Layer Cotton Gauze Oiled Filter — Features 5 layers of progressively finer mesh oiled cotton gauze media housed in a massive 5" round flange, 8" tall conical filter with an inverted top for maximum surface area, airflow, and engine protection.
• CAD-Designed Roto-Molded Intake Tube with Resonance Chambers — Dyno-tuned tube geometry achieves maximum power gains while built-in resonance chambers suppress unwanted intake noise for a refined, throaty induction note.
• Maintains Factory Water Fording Height — The sealed housing is specifically designed to retain the Wrangler JL's factory water fording capability — an essential feature for off-road use.
• Auxiliary Air Scoop + Cold-Weather Plug — The sealed housing features an integrated auxiliary air scoop for maximum cool air volume, plus an included urethane plug to block the scoop in cold-weather or deep-water conditions.
• Premium Stainless Steel T-Bolt Clamps & 2-Ply Silicone Coupler — Corrosion-resistant hardware and a reinforced silicone coupler at the throttle body deliver long-lasting durability and a leak-free seal.
• 50-State Legal / CARB Compliant — Certified under CARB Exemption Order (EO) #D-550-60. Legal for street use in all 50 states including California.
• Washable & Reusable Filter — The Pro 5R oiled cotton media filter is designed to be cleaned and re-oiled repeatedly, eliminating the recurring cost of disposable paper filters.
• No Cutting or Drilling Required — Direct bolt-on fitment with no modification to factory components required for faster, cleaner installation.
• Made in the USA — Engineered and manufactured by aFe Power (Advanced Flow Engineering) in the United States.
