Overview
This carbon fibre intake system replaces the EA888 Gen3 factory inlet assembly with a more direct, less restricted path to the turbocharger. Carbon fibre construction keeps intake air temperatures lower than the OEM plastic housing, and the gloss finish adds a premium engine bay appearance.
Why Upgrade?
- Improved airflow to the EA888 Gen3 turbocharger over the factory intake
- Reduced intake air temperature compared to the OEM plastic assembly
- Sharper induction sound and more turbo character
- Gloss carbon finish for a clean engine bay
Engineering Focus
The carbon fibre tube runs from the filtration element directly to the turbocharger inlet — removing the airbox and factory ducting that restricts and warms the intake charge. Sized for the IS38 and IS20 turbocharger found across the MK7 platform.
