Overview

The MST Performance cold air intake system is a high-performance upgrade designed to deliver cooler, denser air to the turbocharger of your Audi Q5. It features a black powder-coated inlet pipe and heat shield, utilizing factory mounting points for a secure, direct-fit installation. This system helps reduce turbo lag and improves overall throttle response and engine tone.
Show original supplier description
The MST Performance cold air intake system addresses airflow restrictions in the factory intake, providing increased horsepower and torque by delivering colder air directly to the turbocharger. It utilizes existing factory mounts to ensure precise fitment and comes with all necessary hardware for a straightforward installation process. The air filter included in this kit is designed for longevity and requires cleaning every 20,000 km, with a recommended replacement interval of 60,000 km. Please note that this product is not for sale or use in the state of California on any pollution-controlled vehicle, as it is not CARB compliant and is intended solely for off-road and racing applications. Compatibility is specific to 2018+ Audi B9 Q5 2.0T Quattro and B9 Q5 Sportback 2.0T Quattro models. As this intake system involves critical engine airflow, owners should ensure compatibility with their specific vehicle configuration prior to purchase. Please check with your local customs office regarding potential import duties, as shipping fees and tariffs are the responsibility of the recipient.
