Overview
The EA855 five-cylinder produces a naturally distinctive induction sound that the factory airbox does its best to suppress. This carbon fibre intake system opens up that sound while providing a less restricted path to the turbocharger — improving induction character and supporting the airflow demands of tuned RS3 and TTRS builds.
Why Upgrade?
- Improved airflow to the EA855 turbocharger over the factory intake
- Sharper five-cylinder induction sound into the cabin
- Carbon fibre construction reduces intake air temperature versus OEM plastic
- Premium engine bay presentation for RS3/TTRS builds
Engineering Focus
Carbon fibre tube construction provides a direct path from the filter to the EA855 compressor inlet. The material's thermal properties help keep intake air cooler than the factory plastic assembly, which is important for maintaining charge density on the five-cylinder turbo.
