This concerns an Eventuri Audi RS3 8Y Turbo inlet

Product description

AUDI RS3 8Y TURBO INTAKE
Performance gain (RS3 8V with hybrid turbo): 14-20 hp, 30-35ft-lb
Flow rate increase at 24″ H2O: 42% increase over stock (using standard flange)

Suitable for RS3 8Y, left and right hand drive. Finished in raw carbon - no clear coat.

Optional turbo flanges available for popular hybrid turbos.

We now present our full carbon RS3 turbo intake elbow for the 8Y version. The elbow is the same as our original, developed for the 8V, but with additional mounting hardware for the new bleed system found on the North American 8Y engines. The rest of the world uses the same input as our current 8V package. We have invested months of intensive research and development to develop an intake that leaves no room for compromise. VOLUME – FLOW QUALITY – TEMPERATURE were the parameters we tried to optimize for this inlet.

1) VOLUME: Inlet diameters – Eventuri 103 mm: Standard 72 mm. Exhaust diameters – Eventuri 74 mm: standard 56.4 mm. It is clear that the Eventuri elbow, with significantly larger internal diameters, encapsulates a much greater internal volume, restricting the flow path to the turbo.

2) POWER QUALITY: Having only a large internal volume is pointless unless the flow path also allows for smooth airflow to the turbo. By using high temperature Prepreg carbon fiber, we have managed to achieve a smooth inner surface. The stock and other aftermarket elbows, on the other hand, are all made of cast aluminum and have a rough inner surface. This combined with the smooth curvature of the elbow results in a flow path that minimizes turbulence.

3) TEMPERATURE: The final criterion was to minimize heat conduction in the air flow. The stock intake is connected directly to the turbo, so it instantly conducts heat as the turbo spools up. Our system uses a machined flange that connects to the turbo and then a silicone coupling with an integrated thermal spacer to prevent the carbon elbow from making direct contact with the turbo. This barrier, combined with the low thermal conductivity of carbon fiber, ensures that less heat is transferred to the airflow.
