Racingline Intake System Audi S3 8P Quattro – VWR1230S3
Unlock the true potential of your Audi S3 (8P) Quattro with the Racingline Performance Cold-Air Intake System. This meticulously engineered kit replaces the restrictive factory airbox with a high-flow, large-diameter intake pipe, delivering a constant supply of cold, dense air directly from outside the engine bay to your engine. This upgrade is a proven way to improve both the performance and sound of your vehicle.
A Race-Bred Design for Real-World Gains
Developed for use on Racingline’s own Volkswagen Racing cars, this system delivers impressive airflow gains—as much as 9% higher at peak power compared to the original intake. By reducing restrictions and ensuring a steady flow of cold air, it not only boosts horsepower and torque but can also reduce turbo spool time by up to 500rpm in some cases, guaranteeing lightning-fast turbo response.
The Heart of the System: Trifoam® Filter
At the core of this intake is Racingline’s unique Trifoam® filter, a triple-layer laminate of open-cell polyurethane foam. This is the same advanced technology used in some Formula One engines, providing the perfect balance of exceptional filtration and minimal air restriction. Each filter is hand-made in the UK, ensuring the highest quality and durability. This “lifetime” filter is washable and reusable, only requiring cleaning and re-oiling every 20,000 miles (30,000 km) under normal use.
Key Features:
- Superior Airflow: A large-diameter intake pipe and high-flow filter allow your engine to breathe more efficiently, improving power and torque.
- Enhanced Turbo Response: Reduces turbo lag for a more immediate and exciting driving feel.
- Rich Induction Sound: The fully-enclosed design provides a satisfying, race-bred induction sound under hard acceleration, without being overly loud or intrusive.
- Premium Construction: The system is built with high-quality components for a perfect fit and long-lasting performance.
Upgrade your Audi S3’s performance and give it the sound it deserves with the Racingline Intake System.
