IE set out to produce the highest performing air intake for the RS3 and TTRS DAZA 2.5T cylinder turbocharged engine available. Extreme design measures were employed with a "no-corners-cut" attitude and no expenses spared. A massive air filter, built-in velocity stack, carbon fiber construction, large internal volume, and 4-inch piping diameter ensure the engine breathes sufficiently for any power setup and produces large power gains across the entire powerband.

Carbon Fiber air intakes not only look great but they also have a key performance advantage of being less heat absorbent. By absorbing less heat intake air temperatures remain cooler than other common construction materials such as sheet metal heat shields and aluminum piping.
Utilizing a velocity stack design like that found in professional Motorpsorts, this efficiently channels air as quickly as possible to the turbocharger and engine. The velocity stack also functions as a solid mount for the massive air filter keeping it in securely in place.
IE engineers incorporated the largest filter possible. In addition to the sheer size, the frontal area of the air filter incorporates a pleated inverted cone which results in more air induction.
For additional flow, the access panel for the air filter features a series of louvres designed to deliver a completely unrestricted supply of air to the intake for any horsepower level. This works in conjunction with the front ram-air design creating a duo of options for unrestricted air supply to ensure you always have full power potential for any turbocharger or ECU tune stage. -Power is in the details!
