2.5T Turbo Inlet Pipe

The IE Turbo Inlet Pipe is engineered to enhance the performance of your 5-cylinder 2.5L Audi RS3 or TTRS engine, addressing the flow restrictions of the factory turbo inlet elbow. This upgrade is crucial for engines aiming for power gains exceeding 500HP, especially with Stage 2 tunes and bolt-ons, as the stock component becomes a bottleneck. The design process involved 3D scans of the engine bay and stock inlet to maximize flow characteristics within the available space, improving airflow by a significant 28.27% over the stock part. The design also integrates seamlessly with stock-sized intakes or the IE Carbon Fiber Cold Air Intake system for optimal performance. Installation is typically achievable within a couple of hours using common hand tools, though a Dremel with a cut-off attachment is required for certain steps. This turbo inlet pipe is specifically designed for the Audi RS3 2017-2020 (8V) 2.5T and Audi TTRS 2016-2020 (8S) 2.5T. It is explicitly stated that this part is not compatible with Audi 2021+ RS3 (8Y) vehicles and does not fit right-hand drive (RHD) vehicles. Additionally, the product is noted as not currently legal for road use in California due to emissions compliance and carries a California Prop 65 warning.
